“…Changes in the chemical industry may also be related to topography and landforms. Relevant research shows that since 2010, cities in the central, northern, and northeastern plains of China are sufficiently flat for urban expansion and industrial land construction, including for chemical industries [34,74]. erefore, many new CICs have emerged in the North China Plain, likely due to the flat terrain.…”

Exploring the Classification and Restructuring of Chemical Industrial Cities in China: The Perspectives of Sectoral and Spatial Differences

As an economic pillar, major resource consumer, and polluter of cities, the chemical industry determines many cities’ transformation, prosperity, and decay. It is thus a major concern for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In China, which is at the stage of accelerated industrialization that is varied across regions, the chemical industry has gradually retreated from developed cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, in the eastern region, and has become the inevitable choice for industrialization of less-developed cities, such as Xi’an, Chengdu, and Chongqing, in the western region. This study took the perspectives of chemical industrial sectors and their spatial differences to understand the changing patterns of the chemical industry and its dominant cities. It identified chemical industrial cities (CICs), examined their spatial-temporal patterns with respect to their industry scale and structure, and accounted for factors influencing the spatial evolution from coastal areas to inland regions. The results show that large CICs were mainly located in coastal port regions with balanced industrial sectors, while small CICs were mainly distributed in inland areas with abundant oil and coal resources and a single dominant industrial sector. The location factors of ports, markets, and technology play important roles in the eastern region, while resource conditions and foreign direct investment promote the chemical industry’s development in the central, western, and northeastern cities. These findings improve the understanding of CICs’ spatial transformation and shed light on the policy-making of chemical industrial development in China and other developing countries.

Cities are currently undergoing vast changes, which have very significant implications for the functioning of the housing market. In particular, it should be stated that the traditional residential market, in imitation of the smart city concept, is becoming increasingly smarter. This smartness can be expressed in four dimensions: the “automatic” rental housing market; innovative digital platforms in the traditional housing market; innovative policies and housing models; and the ability to forecast demand on the housing market, which together form the so-called smart housing concept. On this basis, this study attempted to assess empirically the smartness of the residential markets in Polish provincial capitals. Firstly, after a thorough analysis of digital housing portals, official websites of Polish provincial capitals and public statistics data, the smart housing concept was operationalised in all its dimensions by defining appropriate indicators measuring its level in a given city. Then, using the zero unitarization and entropy weight methods, followed by a no-pattern synthetic measure, a comprehensive smart housing index was obtained for each city investigated. Research results showed that there is a large degree of variation in the level of smartness of the housing markets in the examined cities. Furthermore, the analysis also indicates that the economic dimension of the smart city concept and the co-working concept are the main driving forces behind the development of smart residential markets. In addition, the study reveals that the implementation of the smart housing concept has a positive impact on the quality of life of city inhabitants.

“…Intensive use of land means that land utilization and economic benefits are constantly maximized by rational distribution and optimization of land structure, following the principle of sustainable development, and by optimizing labor force, technology, oneself, and land distribution [3]. Land intensification includes three aspects.…”

“…As a kind of spatial resource in urbanization development, land resources are obviously limited in quantity, and the contradiction between land supply and demand is prominent, which has become a bottleneck in the construction process of many cities [1]. The phenomenon of uncoordinated development in cities and between urban and rural areas is prominent [2,3], and the difference in urbanization among different regions is expanding [4], which is closely related to economic development, presenting the "Matthew Effect" (refers to the phenomenon that the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker) [5]. On the other hand, in the process of rapid urbanization, land use efficiency is low, and a large amount of high-quality cultivated and ecological protection land is occupied, which seriously threatens China's food and ecological security [6,7].…”

“…From the local and regional perspectives, Zhang et al [28] evaluated the relationship between industrial structures and urban land use in Anhui Province, east China, and showed three stages of change characteristics in time series with the "threshold effect." The latest research argued that there exists significant regional disparities in intensive industrial land use and the urban land layout in China [3]. Simple expansion of industrial land cannot guarantee efficient economic output, and urban land use efficiency needs to be improved.…”
