Abstract

Over the past centuries, the massive consumption of coal, oil and other traditional fossil energy has posed threats and challenges to sustainable development due to the emission of plenty of green-house gas, especially cities in the world contribute 80% of it. To solve this problem, Suzhou, a modern and industrialized city in east China, has proposed an energy transtion plan with deep consideration of the urban comprehensive development. This paper introduces the idea and its background of the energy transition plan in Suzhou as an example for the sustainable development with the energy transition for all the other cities. The reasons why Suzhou is a suitable candidate is expressed, the transition plan is listed with deep consideration of the background of Suzhou.
