City vs Energy consumptions: the role of new technologies.

Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This section of the Journal, Review Notes, is the expression of continuously updating emerging topics concerning relationships between urban planning, mobility and environment, through a collection of short scientific papers written by young researchers. The Review Notes are made of four parts. Each section examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage within the main interests of TeMA Journal. In particular, the Urban planning literature review section presents recent books and journals on selected topics and issues within the global scientific panorama. This contribution aims at delving into the relationship between urban environments and energy consumption. Cities consume about 75% of global primary energy and emit between 50% and 60% of total greenhouse gases. As drivers of economic and social changes, cities play a key role in reducing energy consumption and increase energy efficiency. For the first issue of TeMA Journal volume no. 16, this Review Notes section is dedicated to books highlighting the role of new technologies in managing good-quality energy data, essential to support reliable decision-makers.
