“…This result documents that the malaria environment continued to influence the spatial pattern of urbanization until 1990. A number of major reforms were implemented in China between 1990 and 2010, including large waves of privatization and the relaxation of labor mobility restrictions (e.g., Yang and Yu (2011); Bosker et al (2012)). To investigate whether the malaria environment continues to be an important determinant of the spatial distribution of urbanization after these reforms, we employ population data for the year 2010, drawn from Brinkhoff (2015).…”

We show that the climatic potential for Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission constituted a locational fundamental that influenced the spatial distribution of urbanization since the early start of the southward expansion of the Han Chinese around 200 BCE. This effect is still detectable in today's distribution of urbanization and economic activity even though the risk of malaria falciparum has been successfully eliminated. We do not find any indication of convergence between high-and low malaria potential regions after eradication. Our identification strategy relies on a climate-based measure of Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission intensity which is fitted to experimental data on mosquito and parasite development from laboratory studies. This measure is exogenous with respect to human population densities.

“…UCs and FPCs are most suitable for systemised façade integration because of their inherently flat geometry (Yang and Yu, 2011). But ETCs have been integrated in bespoke designs such as on balcony guardrails (Behling, 2015;Schweizer Energie, 2015).…”
