In 2018, We conducted comprehensive desk research to collect data on energy-climate, city planning, social welfare and economic areas from Asian cities including the four targeted cities in this research. We used these data to develop a composite indicator which is called Urban Sustainable Development Index (USDI). Tokyo performs reasonably well in USDI with an almost equal share of different indicators which showed that Tokyo Metropolitan Government developed and successfully implemented several policies and subprograms that collectively aimed at reducing the energy-related GHG emissions of urban facilities. Analysis of two scenarios of clean transport and zero electricity deficiency in the case of Delhi, India revealed a significant reduction of GHG and other local air pollutant emissions by 4.8 and 0.4 million tons, respectively, prevention of about 22,000 cases of mortality, and cost savings of more than USD 35 million by 2030. In Shanghai, China the significant reduction in coal consumption is expected from boosting green mobility, shutting more outdated steel and coke capacity and gradually improving clean coal's share in the industrial sector through replacing it with natural gas and alternative fuels. The decline in the total amount of GHG emissions from the major sectors compared to the baseline scenario are expected to be approximately 2.8, 5.6, 4.9, 1.1 ,0.9 and 2.3 Mt, respectively, which contributes significant to the job creations and raise GDP by the tertiary sector to increase the share of green employment in Shanghai total workforce by 46% in 2030.
