Abstract

In order to investigate the relationship between city and energy, three types of relationship, including relationship between energy and resident life, relationship between energy and urban growth and relationship between energy and environment in a city, was established in accordance with economic theory. The results can be summarized as follows. One energy resources can be replaced by another energy resources and the pattern of consuming energy resources is not always optimum in actual life. energy consumption and energy structure adjustment could promote urban economic growth and urban population growth. Consumers would like to choose inexpensive energy, instead of choosing environment friendly energy, because the environment friendly energy usually is expensive. In order to promote urban growth rapidly and urban environment livable, government should provide subsidy to new energy consumer and raises the price of polluted energy to eliminate the externalities.
