    Abstract
    Sustainable development has been a consensus of our world, where low-carbon eco-city, green campus and green building are three significant concepts, corresponding to urban, community and building scales. However, many issues and challenges delay the process to effectively implement above three concepts. Considering their co-aims and inner relationships in urban scope, this chapter is designed to examine how these initiatives can be integrated so as to holistically accelerate sustainable development. To meet this end, primary work of present study focuses on interpretation of sustainability at different scales, development ...

    Sustainable development has been a consensus of our world, where low-carbon eco-city, green campus and green building are three significant concepts, corresponding to urban, community and building scales. However, many issues and challenges delay the process to effectively implement above three concepts. Considering their co-aims and inner relationships in urban scope, this chapter is designed to examine how these initiatives can be integrated so as to holistically accelerate sustainable development. To meet this end, primary work of present study focuses on interpretation of sustainability at different scales, development of sustainable projects in China and integration of low-carbon eco-city, green campus and green building. Through the analysis, following conclusions can be drawn: (i) green building receives its best development among three sustainable concepts; it can be a micro-driver to promote low-carbon eco-city and green campus development, while much work is needed to understand how they can be linked; (ii) developments of low-carbon eco-city and green campus are still restricted, and their assessment tools require further definitions, revisions and localizations; (iii) there are many similarities in terms of resource, environment, economy and society, and an emphasis of common points in constructing sustainable projects should be a cost-effective way to realize the whole sustainability goal; (iv) low-carbon eco-city, green campus and green building can experience their co-development and developing interrelated projects can help promote our society towards sustainability much easier.
