Human activities have now become a major driver of global environmental change. As the world's most populous country, China should make more contributions to the world's sustainable development and climate change. On September 22, 2020, President Xi Jinping proposed China's "Two Carbon Development Goals", which will set the direction for China's future development. Cities are the most concentrated areas of human production and life, so we believe that the key to China's low-carbon transition lies in cities. Further, cities are for people, so human needs determine the energy consumption of the city. People of different age structures and social backgrounds have different needs for urban management services and energy use, which in turn affects future urban management and urban construction. It is worthwhile to explore how to determine the future demographic structure and then make a judgment on the future social needs to realize the future low-carbon development of China.
