The team found that the mitigation potential of urban areas on a global scale was "insufficiently understood", making it difficult to quantify what energy savings could be made through more effective planning and development.
...
The dataset allowed the researchers to identify different profiles of energy use by cities, which could then shape climate mitigation policies for urban areas that fitted a particular energy-use profile.
...
"We looked at factors including population density and fuel prices. We found that - especially in those regions that are urbanising quickly: Asia, Africa and the Middle East - if there are higher fuel prices and good urban planning then there could be about a 25% energy saving from the business-as-usual scenario."

Does that mean that we can turn off the heat and electricity to the ghettos?
Everyone gets a “smart” thermostat. The government will decide how warm your 800 square foot apartment can be — and will set the heat for you.
Perhaps the biggest fraud in global history.
Madoff would approve.

Environmentally friendly ‘people’s tubes’ with integrated feeding and waste hoses, and a conveniently located view screen so heroic state songs and important messages can be watched in the prone position. And when you die, they just cart the whole thing off for ‘recycling’.
The North Koreans have solved this problem.
I just wish I was smart enough to know what the average temperature of the earth should be. And how in the Hell did George Bush cause the end of the last Ice Age and catapult us into this burning world.
Will these people ever understand what weather is & how we the people do not control it? It’s a good thing we cannot & I’m certain God planned it that way.
Herd the sheeple into their corrals....I mean cities
At least Logan’s Run had hot chicks. Imagine if they had feminists instead!
Now all you little robots do exactly what the wise overlords with an urban planning degree say.
Or, to use leftist language, fixing the climate on the backs of the poor.
They also got to live in a shopping mall. Our prospective overlords would probably tend more toward East German apartment blocks for us.
Best I can tell the climate goals all involve growing government in a way consistent with the Marxist agenda.
No serious person still believes the climate change hoax.
