Urban energy recycling: An architectural road map

Abstract

There is a strong link between energy recycling and urbanism. Cities are major energy consumers, and as the world's population continues to urbanise, the demand for energy in cities will only increase. At the same time, cities also generate significant waste and unused energy. Energy recycling can help address both of these issues by capturing and converting this waste and new energy into valuable energy that can be used to power homes, businesses, and other infrastructure within the city. Energy recycling has the potential to play a critical role in the development of sustainable and energy-efficient cities. Urban areas can become more self-sufficient, resilient, and environmentally friendly by capturing and converting waste and unused energy into valuable energy. The paper aims to analyse energy recycling procedures in cities. The research analyses the possibilities of reducing waste, greenhouse gas emissions, energy security and increased energy efficiency. The result of the paper assesses a road map for urban energy recycling in an Architectural and Urban context.
