“…The indicator of the urban LGUE is the ability of the production factors, such as capital and labor, invested in the process of urban land use to be transformed into economic, environmental, and other output benefits under the conditions of a certain level of technology. The difference between this and the traditional LUE is that it places more emphasis on the environmental outputs of the land use activities, presenting the remarkable characteristics of high efficiency and greenness [13]. Drawing upon the definition of the urban LGUE considered in this paper, we proceed to identify the pertinent indicators from the tripartite perspective of inputs, outputs, and undesirable outputs, thereby substantiating the construct of urban LGUE, as shown in Table 1.…”

“…Against this background, the urban LGUE has emerged. This metric gauges the extent to which green outputs are achieved by efficiently utilizing human resources, capital, and energy inputs, while concurrently minimizing environmental stressors [13]. It serves not only as an economic barometer but also a concrete manifestation of the realization of ecological and economic harmony.…”

“…Most current studies have explored the impact of relevant government policies on LGUE. For instance, studies have shown that the implementation of pollution permit trading systems can foster green technological innovation and industrial restructuring, thereby enhancing the LGUE [13]. The development of smart cities has also been found to boost the LGUE, as it spurs the growth of the information sector and the regional innovative capacity [14].…”

Under the overarching principle of sustainability, the reliance solely on expanding the landmass to meet the demand for high-quality economic growth is unsustainable. To address the need for harmonious ecological–economic development, this paper examines the influence of carbon emissions trading (CET) policies on the urban land green utilization efficiency (LGUE) from an environmental regulation perspective. Harnessing municipal panel data from 278 cities across China between 2011 and 2020, the study initially employs a super-efficient SBM model to estimate the urban LGUE. Further, a progressive difference-in-differences methodology is utilized to delve into CET’s impact on the LGUE. The main results are as follows. (1) Through the visual analysis of the time–space evolution trend, the LGUE displays pronounced spatial agglomeration, with the LGUE values being higher in the central and western regions compared to the east, and in the south versus the north. Over time, it follows a “U-shaped” change pattern. (2) The CET policy exerts a statistically significant positive influence on the LGUE, although this effect is accompanied by a temporal lag. Following a number of approaches to validate the results, the impact remains significant. (3) Regarding the heterogenous effects, the CET policy appears to have a greater impact on resource-based cities and those in the eastern part of China relative to non-resource-based and central–western cities. This research offers empirical evidence and countermeasure recommendations for the further refinement of the CET policy to enhance the urban LGUE.

The study of urban land use efficiency is of great significance for optimizing the spatial allocation of urban land, thereby promoting the intensive use of urban land and the transformation of economic development modes. Taking the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) as the study object, we chose the undesirable Slacks-Based Measure (SBM) model to calculate the urban land use efficiency (ULUE). Then, we utilized the spatial correlation analysis and econometric methods to discuss its spatio-temporal features and influential factors. The results show the following: (1) The urban land use efficiency in the YREB steadily improved from 2010 to 2022, but the inter-regional efficiency gap evidently increased. (2) There is an efficiency value to be found in a multi-center network structure, and it forms a “core-periphery” distribution pattern. The high-efficiency areas in the downstream and upstream regions of the YREB are gradually increasing, while the efficiency value in the midstream area remains low. (3) The urban efficiency values have strong correlation, and they are mainly “High-High agglomeration” and “Low-Low agglomeration”, and they show significant regional characteristics. (4) The economic level, industrial structure, and urbanization have obvious motivating effects on ULUE, and the positive spatial spillover effect is clear. The foreign direct investment and land finance hinder the boost of efficiency, and the latter has a negative spatial spillover role on the ULUE in the downstream cities.
