This book introduces the ecological, low-carbon, and sustainable concept of ideal cities from multiple perspectives. Drawing on the beliefs and practices of scholars in the past in pursuit of ideal cities, it traces historical events in the development of low-carbon cities. In this way, contemporary global activities related to carbon peaking and carbon neutrality are illustrated, and the achievements of various countries are highlighted. Besides, regarding the centralized and distributed spatial structures in urban evolution, the book discusses their trends and proposes an ideal model, the distributed city, to realize carbon neutrality based on the distributed structure. Therefore, with a practical example in planning, the feasibility of the distributed city is analyzed in several fields, including space, energy, traffic, water, waste disposal, etc. The book serves as a valuable resource for professionals in city planning and construction, low-carbon development and other fields, as well as a guide for general readers about the complex city.
