Leveraging over 245 million vehicle registration records, we quantify PEV-related fuel-cycle carbon transfers across 285 Chinese cities. Here we show that economically developed cities transferred 41.8% of their PEV-related emissions to less developed cities in 2020, causing per-PEV emissions in the latter exceeding those of non-PEVs by 16.9\u201352.0%. This outsourced carbon burden is projected to substantially increase climate mitigation costs for recipient cities. Furthermore, such inter-city inequality in emission reductions is projected to remain elevated through 2030 due to growing disparities in PEV stocks across cities, before declining as the grid decarbonizes. Our findings highlight the importance of tailored, city-level decarbonization policies to promote an equitable and effective transition toward vehicle electrification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr. Zhifu Mi<\/strong> is Professor of Climate Change Economics at University College London (UCL).

Rather than providing an exhaustive analysis of planning practices and institutional arrangements\u2014an approach of limited relevance to an international audience\u2014the study focuses on the spatial dimensions of planning systems and the environmental, economic, and social issues associated with their implementation. Particular attention is given to structural weaknesses, and institutional fragmentation, that have significantly influenced spatial development patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Greek planning experience, as implemented over recent decades, has produced substantial spatial imbalances and territorial dysfunctions, most notably extensive urban sprawl. These processes have generated significant pressures on natural resources, landscape quality, infrastructure systems, and social cohesion. The study therefore concentrates on the spatial impacts of these development patterns and critically evaluates their implications for sustainable territorial development and long-term spatial resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Georgios Tsilimigkas<\/strong> graduated from the Department of Planning and Regional Development, University of Thessaly, and from the School of Architecture of the National Technical University of Athens.

While \u201cliveability\u201d has become a widely shared objective, it often remains a normative construct, insufficiently translated into operational frameworks capable of guiding concrete transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This keynote addresses this gap, defined as a structural operability gap, between vision and implementation. It argues that the central challenge is no longer to define desirable urban futures, but to design and govern processes that make them achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drawing on European experiences, particularly within integrated and multi-level frameworks such as URBACT and Urban Innovative Actions, the presentation explores how place-based, participatory approaches can transform sustainability into an operational condition. In this perspective, local rooting and co-production are not complementary dimensions, but essential drivers of effective urban transformation. Special attention is given to accessibility and inclusion as structuring principles of liveability, enabling a shift from sectoral interventions to systemic approaches. The keynote also reflects on the dynamic relationship between evolving collective needs and institutional public interest, highlighting the role of governance in mediating and stabilising this interaction across scales. Within the broader climate agenda, encompassing both mitigation and adaptation, urban transformation is reframed as a matter of design, governance and implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, the keynote argues that we do not lack visions or knowledge: what we lack are systems capable of making them operational. Bridging this gap is not a technical adjustment, but a design and governance challenge at the core of contemporary urban transitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pietro Elisei<\/strong> is an urban and regional planner with more than 25 years of international experience in urban regeneration, strategic spatial planning and sustainable urban development.
