This paper develops an integrated framework to study the socio-spatial and temporal dimensions of urban energy transitions to study the development and diffusion of solar energy technologies in urban areas of China. A comparative analysis of three case studies of solar energy transitions in the cities of Foshan in Guangdong, Rizhao in Shandong, Urban and peri-urban spaces need to be designed and redesigned in terms of cycles of energy, water, materials and For people, the way to achieve this is to understand and rethink urban flows.

First, the basic ,characteristics of each urban settlement are analyzed to obtain ,insights. The Theil index and the Moran s I index are used to quantify carbon emissions disparities in terms of magnitude and carbon emissions. spatial model, respectively. Second, carbon,
