Abstract
⺠Urban energy system transitions in history are reviewed. ⺠Common features include increased per capita energy use, growing system complexity, and technological innovation. ⺠Future transitions will be shaped by the constraints of climate change, rising fuel prices, and urbanisation. ⺠Long-term sustainability depends on ability to innovate rapidly; opportunities exist on supply and demand sides.
