“…This includes many aspects, such as land-use density, building height, and volume ratio, and it is one of the main characteristics of compact cities [ 72 ]. First, high-intensity development is the basis of the construction of public transport facilities, and this improves the possibility of centralized provision of public transport services for urban areas [ 98 ]. Second, the compact urban landscape can reduce the transport needs of residents [ 99 , 100 ].…”

With the acceleration of global urbanization, the interaction between the urban built environment and transportation carbon emissions (TCE) has become an urgent problem and an area of intensive research. This paper presents a bibliometric and visual analysis of 1060 pieces of literature related to the built environment and TCE from 1998 to 2022. It explores the current research progress and future development trends in this field. The results show the following. (1) The number of papers published on the built environment and TCE during this period has shown a continuous increasing trend, and the periods of growth can be divided into three stages. (2) Research in this area has been carried out in many countries and regions around the world, involving different dimensions such as examinations at the city, provincial, and national levels. (3) Through an analysis involving keyword clustering, a keyword hotspot map, and a burst map, we have established that the research on TCE has exhibited step-by-step growth, and the carbon emissions from vehicles is the topic that has been considered over the longest period. (4) The impact of the built environment on TCE can be broadly divided into macro-functional and micromorphological factors.

“…However, the data collection can be costly, and historical data have often been employed to derive growth factors for projecting future VMT estimates. Three different types of data have been widely used, including household travel surveys (Handy et al 2005, Huang et al 2019, fuel-sales (Williams et al 2016), and vehicle-inspection (odometer-reading) data (Reardon et al 2016, Diao andFerreira 2014). More recently, big data (such as GPS-based, or cell phone data) have become available to estimate VMT but may need traditional data sources and models for validation (Fan et al 2019, NASEM 2019.…”

“…The former includes using data at the neighborhood or fine-grained grid level (Diao and Ferreira 2014). The latter relies on micro individual-level characteristics which generally are obtained from household surveys (McMullen and Eckstein, 2013;Huang et al, 2019). McMullen and Eckstein (2013) conclude that higher lane miles, income, and employment in construction and public sectors lead to increased VMT per capita, while fuel price, transit use, and urban population density show an inverse association with travel demand.…”

With spatial analytic, econometric, and visualization tools, this book chapter investigates greenhouse gas emissions for the on-road passenger vehicle transport sector in the Boston metropolitan area in 2014. It compares greenhouse gas emission estimations from both the production-based and consumption-based perspectives with two large-scale administrative datasets-the vehicle odometer readings (from individual vehicle annual inspection) and the road inventory data (containing roadsegment level geospatial and traffic information). Based on spatial econometric models that examine socioeconomic and built environment factors contributing to the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) at the census tract level, it offers insights to help cities reduce VMT and carbon footprint for passenger vehicle travel. Finally, it recommends a pathway for cities and towns in the Boston metropolitan area to curb VMT and mitigate carbon emissions to achieve climate goals of carbon neutrality.

“…For travel-related carbon emissions, the status of the urban road system will have a structural impact on the overall e ciency of transportation (Cao &Yang 2017). The convenience of public transportation, the layout and accessibility of public service facilities and urban green spaces affect the travel modes of residents, thereby affecting travel-related carbon emissions (Huang et al 2019, Wang et al 2021b, Wolday 2023). The accessibility of public service facilities is signi cantly lower in newly developed urban areas and remote urban areas, resulting in longer average travel distances, greater use of motor vehicles, and higher transportation carbon emissions (Ma et al 2018).…”

Accurate estimation of the impact of urban form on carbon emissions of residents (CER) is a crucial prerequisite for China to adopt effective low-carbon spatial planning strategies and achieve the carbon peak and neutrality goals (hereafter “dual carbon” goals). However, as the most basic governmental unit and the new energy consumer in China, counties have rarely been concerned, and the relationship between their urban form and the CER is still limitedly understood.This paper seeks to investigate how urban form influences the CER by taking the 90 counties in the Yangtze River Delta of China as a case study. First, considering the features of the county's urban form and residents' energy consumption, this study focused on analyzing the urban form of the main center and the overall urban form composed of the main center and surrounding towns. Second, based on the needs of sustainable development at county level and the framework of China's territorial spatial planning, this study defined urban form in two dimensions: geometric-aspect urban form and built environment-aspect urban form. Finally, the relationships between urban form and the CER were modelled using partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM). Results reveal that (1) the geometric-aspect urban form variables (scale, compactness, spatial structures, and shape) exert a direct influence on the CER.Controlling the urban development boundary, increasing compactness of themain center, developing in the direction of multiple centers, and minimizing the complexity and narrowness of theshape of the main center positively impact the CER. (2) For the built environment-aspect urban form variables, improving the accessibility of public service facilities and green space coverage is beneficial for counties to reduce the CER, and currently improving road traffic status and energy infrastructurehas a significant contribution to the growth of the CER.(3) The geometric characteristics of urban form indirectly affect the CER by influencing the built environment characteristics of urban form. Road traffic, greening spaces, public service facilities, and energy infrastructureare influential intermediaries. This study identifies the intricate correlation between the county's urban form and the CER, providing a scientific foundation for the formulation of policies aimed at optimizing urban form and achieving “dual carbon” goals.
