Abstract

Contemporary cities, established largely around stable supplies of materials and plentiful access to energy sources, will be seriously affected by sudden changes in supply - particularly if technology cannot cater for consumption demands. This thesis explores energy consumption and energy dependency, framed in terms of urban density, using the Barcelona Metropolitan Area as a case study.
