Abstract

The construction of low-carbon cities is an essential component of sustainable urban development. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive low-carbon city design and evaluation system that incorporates ``carbon sink accounting-remote sensing monitoring-numerical modelling-design and application'' in an all-around linkage, multi-scale coupling, and localized effects. This paper utilizes the Citespace tool to evaluate low-carbon city design applications by analyzing literature in the Web of Science (WOS) core collection database. The results reveal that low-carbon cities undergo four stages: ``measurement-implementation-regulation - management.'' The research themes are divided into three core clustering evolutionary pathways: ``extension of carbon sink functions,'' ``spatialisation of carbon sink systems,'' and ``full-cycle, full-dimensional decarbonisation.'' Applications include ``Utility studies of multi-scale carbon sink assessments,'' ``Correlation analysis of carbon sink influencing factors,'' ``Predictive characterisation of multiple planning scenarios,'' and ``Spatial planning applications of urban sink enhancement.'' Future low-carbon city construction should incorporate intelligent algorithm technology in real-time to provide a strong design basis for multi-scale urban spatial design with the features of ``high-precision accounting, full-cycle assessment and low-energy concept.''
