Assessment of comprehensive local land use plan and low carbon cities in Malaysia

Asia is the major contributor of GHG and CO2 emission in the world. Prior to that, many Asian countries begin to implement Low Carbon Cities initiatives in their comprehensive local land use plans to mitigate climate change. The purpose of this study is to assess the comprehensive local land use pla...
