“…The theory of organic decentralization laid a solid foundation for the evacuated population and industry decisions in the developed countries [77]. Furthermore, China also should summary its successful experience and measures in environmental pollution control, such as the 2008 Olympic Games and 2014 APEC Summit [56,78].…”

Does population have a larger impact on carbon dioxide emissions than income? Evidence from a cross-regional panel analysis in China

h i g h l i g h t sWe reassessed the impact of demographic and GDP changes on CO 2 emissions in China. Income rather than population growth was a major contributor to growing emissions. Urbanisation increases energy use and CO 2 emissions, except in western China. Shrinking household size did not reduce energy use and emissions. The impact of human activities on the environment varies across regions. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c tAs global warming intensifies, the accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and other greenhouse gases have attracted great global attention. However, questions regarding whether, how and to what extent demographic factors and processes affect carbon emissions have not yet been fully explained -particularly in China. This study used an improved STIRPAT model to reassess the impact of demographic and income changes on China's energy-related CO 2 emissions at the national and regional levels using balanced provincial panel data from the 1990-2012 period. Whereas most previous studies of emission-popula tion/income elasticity in China have yielded wide-ranging estimates, this study showed that income rather than demographic change has been the dominant driving force behind China's growing CO 2 emissions. Urbanisation has increased energy consumption and emissions, except in western China. Changes in the age structure have had a statistically insignificant effect on energy use, but resulted in increased national emissions -particularly in eastern China. Shrinking household size did not reduce energy use and emissions, indicating that improved residential energy efficiency might reduce emissions. Changing the traditional mode of economic growth, reasonable controlling the pace of urbanisation, improving energy efficiency and upgrading industrial structures may yet be necessary to mitigate the environmental impact of human activities in China.

“…Even by Chinese standards, where large-scale developments are rapidly completed (Li, 2015), Shenzhen's physical development has been unusual. While the decentralisation of state finance has made all cities compete for growth, Shenzhen is one of the most aggressive (Davis, 2016;Ren, 2015;Shi and Chen, 2016).…”

A top-down creation of a cultural cluster for urban regeneration: The case of OCT Loft, Shenzhen

et al. 2017

Researchers of related topics agree that the large-scale top-down development of a creative cluster by a real estate developer may obstruct rather than facilitate creativity and creative entrepreneurialism. OCT Loft, a design industry park in Shenzhen, China, is being celebrated as an exception. Based on analyses of primary and secondary data, we find that the Loft's success can be attributed to two factors. First, the choice of design as the target industry was appropriate. Design is a fast-growing industry and thus needs space for expansion. Second, the developer chose tenants with good reputations in the industry rather than those offering the highest rent. Both these factors are difficult to implement. First, a growing industry is hard to find in a city where urban regeneration is needed. Second, the majority of developers cannot pass up maximising rent for a good reputation as OCT did. Indeed, OCT was able to pursue the Loft's creative success because giving a good impression to potential clients was expected to result in future opportunities that would raise profit further. In sum, a large-scale top-down development can facilitate creative entrepreneurialism but only when the developer is not hasty in demanding an immediate return on investment.

“…Therefore, the research on China's new towns has aroused many scholars' discussions. Important papers are as follows: Review and prospects of the development and planning of new towns in China's Shanghai and Taiwan [19,20], the logic of green development mechanism and space production in China's new towns [21][22][23], China's national new district identification standards [24], and comparative study of South Korea and China, India, and China on the development and planning modes of new towns [25,26]. The second category is about the research on the sustainable development indicators and paths of the new town, including prediction of the potential impacts and risks of the development of new towns by SEA (Environmental Strategic Assessment) and ESIA (Environmental and Social Impact Assessment) [27], scenario prediction for the future development of new towns in Kuwait [28], new town planning methods for sustainable development of public space [29], role of participatory landscape in the sustainable development of new towns [30], forecast of carbon emissions for new town planning by system dynamics [31], measurement of diversity of new towns [32], evaluation of new town development sustainability [33], and new town development and sustainable transition under urban entrepreneurialism in China [34].…”

As an important carrier of expanded urban spatial growth, new towns have been a “policy tool” for spatial production in the new era and have received long-term and constant attention from circles such as geography, planning, and economics. National new districts constitute a new regional space for China to implement the national strategy and promote the transformation of urban development mode. They are mutually reinforcing with their mother cities and hinterland provinces. Based on the geodetector method, this paper reveals the key factors driving the development of national new districts by mother cities and hinterland provinces and their interaction effects, which provides a basis for municipal and provincial governments to accurately formulate policies to promote the development of new towns by classification. The study shows that, firstly, there are five types of driving factors, that is, all-round driving factors, scale-increasing factors, expansion and quality-improving factors, expertise driving factors, and non-driving factors. The strength and dimension of the driving factors are characterized by prominent heterogeneity; R&D personnel, export and import trade are the key factors to expand the increment, optimize the inventory, and improve the quality; the overall development driving forces are in the order of innovation > opening > industry > investment > population. Secondly, the pairwise interaction between different factors exhibits two-factor enhancement, and the population shows a nonlinear increase in the driving force of investment, openness, and innovation on a provincial scale. Thirdly, according to the driving force of the factors and the interaction between them, suggestions are put forward based on the development stage and key demands for city and provincial governments to make policies for the development of national new districts, to support the establishment of scientific competition and cooperation between new towns and mother cities or regions, and to build a long-term collaborative development mechanism.
