“…First, this study enriches the literature related to green building. Research on green buildings mainly focuses on green building policies and regulations [ 17 , 25 ] and spatial distribution characteristics [ 26 , 27 ]. Some studies have focused on the impact of economic factors (e.g., incremental cost of construction, level of economy development, level of real estate development), technical factors (e.g., construction technology, energy conversion technology) and natural factors (e.g., soil) on GBD [ 15 , 28 – 30 ].…”

Carbon emissions have become a global challenge, and China, as the world’s largest developing country, has a serious emissions problem. Developing green buildings is an important way of reducing carbon emissions. China’s low-carbon city pilot policy may be an effective way of promoting green building development and reducing these emissions. This study uses the low carbon city pilot policy as a quasi-natural experiment and employs the staggered difference-in-differences method to investigate its impact on green building development. The results show that the low-carbon city pilot policy promotes green building development, and this policy promotes it by enhancing regional green innovation capacity, improving green total factor productivity at the firm and regional levels, and reducing the financing constraints of firms in the construction and real estate sectors. In addition, the promotion effect of the policy on green building development is stronger in western and non-resource-based regions and large-scale cities in China. This study contributes to the literature related to environmental policy, green building, and carbon emissions and supports the promotion of green building development and the reduction of carbon emissions.

“…Green buildings are better implemented and promoted compared to green roofs [37]. In recent years, a large number of studies have been conducted to explore the differences in spatial distribution and key influencing factors of green buildings [38,39]. However, research findings on the spatial distribution of green roofs are minimal, and quantitative studies using geoinformation technology and spatial statistical methods are lacking.…”

The global spread of green roofs is becoming increasingly important in the context of increasing urbanization and climate change as they provide multiple benefits, including urban heat island effect (UHI) mitigation, stormwater retention and urban flood risk reduction. However, current research provides little insight into how green roofs are used and promoted globally. Therefore, it is essential to look at the global spatial distribution of green roofs and the related policies by using green buildings which have been successfully promoted as a benchmark. This study collected data from multiple sources, such as a dataset of spatial distribution of green roofs from eight countries, and 124 green roof incentive policy texts from 88 cities. Spatial analysis was conducted using ArcGIS Pro, and different types of incentive policies were explored using word frequency analysis. The results show that (1) the unbalanced distribution of green roofs in cities is prominent, with significant regional differences and clustering characteristics along water systems; (2) in the vast majority of countries, the types of incentive policies for green roofs lack diversity; (3) green roofs lack a well-developed rating system compared to how green buildings are promoted. Combining green buildings with green roofs and exploring the gaps between them, this study will help further explore the application of green roofs worldwide and guide governments or non-governmental organizations to develop and implement more efficient policies and provide recommendations to promote the popularity of green roofs worldwide.
