• Quantification of urban metabolism through coupling with the life cycle assessment framework: concept development and case study (2013, background): “It interprets environmental loading predominantly using the emergy (embodied energy) concept [46–57] or on occasion, the ecological footprint (EF) method [58–60], and is usually performed under the urban ecology umbrella.”
• The study of urban metabolism and its applications to urban planning and design. (2011, background): “Although Odum’s approach to studying urban metabolism has not become mainstream, it continues today through the work of Huang, primarily for Taipei (Huang, 1998; Huang and Hsu, 2003) and Zhang et al. (2009) for Beijing.”
