Yan'an City is a typical squeezed city in China and faces the challenge of limited living space. The adoption of the “Mountain Excavation and City Construction (MECC)” program was poised to elevate the city's livability. Despite the importance of megacity construction projects, few studies have examined their impact on urban livability. This study aims to fill this gap by analyzing the effects of MECC and the satisfaction characteristics of urban livability in Yan'an City, based on survey data from both old and new urban areas. Employing factor analysis and multiple linear regression, this paper assesses the influence of MECC on urban livability across different demographic groups, including age, educational background, and occupation. The empirical findings demonstrate a significant positive effect of the MECC project on urban livability. However, during categorization discussions, some respondents expressed concerns about its negative impact. The results of multiple linear regression indicate that factors such as career prospects, residential satisfaction, interpersonal relationships, and transportation level significantly influence livability (R2 = 0.607 in ND and R2 = 0.609 in OD).

“…Long term and consistent analysis and mapping of urban growth is also crucial to track, project and understand trends of urban growth and address problems affecting sustainable urban development [ 16 , 17 ]. Human induced land use land cover changes is also another crucial issue to determine and address the challenges of sustainable urban growth [ 17 , 18 ]. So, monitoring and evaluating urban growth and its driving factors is very crucial and area of research for different scholars [ [18] , [19] , [20] ].…”

“…It also discussed the correlation or coupling coordination between economic development (Xiong et al, 2007), urbanization process (Li et al, 2004;Wang et al, 2017), real estate development (Zhang et al, 2014), tourism development (Liu et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2017), residents' health (Cao et al, 2019) and urban livability. With the advent of the era of big data, new data such as high-score remote sensing data, street view data, and traffic big data, as well as matching artificial intelligence, machine learning and other technical means, are constantly expanding the research perspective in the field of livability and innovating their research methods (Huang et al, 2018;Fu et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2019;Kourtit et al, 2021).…”

Under the background that economy and urbanization of China are gradually entering the stage of high-quality development, clarifying the influence of economic development on urban livability is of significant academic and practical value. In this paper, regarded as one "factor", livability was introduced into the research framework of production function, and a theoretical model of the impact of economic development on urban livability was established. Based on the panel data of 40 cities in China from 2005 to 2019, the System GMM, panel threshold model and other methods were further adopted to carry out an empirical analysis. The results show that: (1) The livability level of large and medium-sized cities in China from 2005 to 2019 has been rising generally, but they present obvious characteristics of dimensional and spatial differentiation. (2) In general, economic development has an inhibiting effect on the improvement of urban livability, but this logical effect shows obvious heterogeneity in different time periods and diverse city scales. This inhibitory effect is more significant for the cities before entering the new normal phase of economy, and large-scale municipalities and economically-developed provincial capitals (namely Class-A cities). (3) There are significant threshold effects in the impact of economic development on urban livability, where the threshold variables are income level and economic development. With the increase of city dwellers' income, this effect presents an inverted N-shaped nonlinear feature. When the development of economy makes the average wage of employees between 60,000 and 80,000 yuan, economic development can significantly improve urban livability. Also, there is a significant single threshold inhibitory effect when economic development is taken as a threshold variable. However, its negative impact shows a law of diminishing marginal efficiency. In addition, a similar threshold effect is found in smaller-scale Class-B cities. The findings of this research can provide some insights for urban planners and policymakers in both China and vast developing countries to understand better the relationship between
