Solar‑Powered Urbanization for a Sustainable Future presents a comprehensive and integrated approach to utilizing solar energy as a key solution for reducing grid dependency and pollution while fostering self‑sufficient and cleaner urban centres. This book explores the strategic planning and application of solar power across essential urban sectors, including lighting, heating and cooling, water supply, wastewater recycling, transportation, and urban farming. By analysing energy consumption patterns in residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial spaces, this book highlights sector‑specific opportunities for sustainable transformation. With a strong emphasis on awareness, policy formulation, and technological advancements, it contributes valuable insights to the growing discourse on renewable energy integration in urban planning. It serves as an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and urban planners striving for a solar‑powered, sustainable future.
Explores the role of solar power in key urban sectors to reduce grid dependency and environmental impacts
Analyses energy consumption patterns in residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial spaces, identifying tailored solar‑powered strategies for sustainable urbanization
Highlights the importance of awareness, governance, and policy‑making in driving large‑scale adoption of solar energy for self‑sufficient and environmentally friendly urban centres
Arun Kumar is currently working as an Assistant Professor at Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University, Dehradun, in the field of forest restoration, bioremediation, and sustainable environment.
