Abstract

The dual pressures of urbanization and climate change are intensifying the urban heat island effect, carbon emissions, and air pollution, posing significant challenges to environmental sustainability and urban livability. As the demand for multi-objective coordinated management of urban ecological environments continues to increase, integrating heat, carbon, and pollution into a unified framework for comprehensive assessment has become a key direction for future urban planning and policy-making. This article systematically compares and analyzes the consistency between global development agendas and the goals of reducing urban heat, carbon, and pollution, highlighting the significant potential and advantages of new-generation information technologies in intelligent optimization and coordinated scheduling, data fusion and analysis, real-time monitoring and feedback, and decision support and simulation. From the new perspective of urban spatial form, it comprehensively reviews the specific content, challenges, and future issues in conducting multi-scale, multi-dimensional “heat-carbon-pollution” multi-objective coordinated reduction planning. It provides innovative solutions for multi-objective coordinated management and sustainable development of “heat-carbon-pollution” in Chinese cities.
