“…On the other hand, local governments, the major participants in the implementation of the LCCP policy, should actively cooperate with the decision-making from the central government to take various measures to ensure the construction of low-carbon cities [ 86 , 87 ]. During the construction of low-carbon city, the improvement in GUEUL relies substantially on scientific land-use and transport planning, industrial upgrades, green technology innovation, and talented persons [ 88 , 89 , 90 ]. Local governments must perform scientific and preferential policies to promote the smooth progress of low-carbon development [ 91 ].…”

China has implemented the low-carbon city pilot (LCCP) policy in the hopes of efficiently limiting carbon emission intensity to combat global warming and promote green economic growth. Urban land utilization, the second-largest source of carbon emissions, is key to the LCCP policy being able to have the desired effect, which has attracted widespread attention. Based on the panel data from prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2019, this study used the propensity score matching difference-in-differences method (PSM-DID) to examine the impacts of LCCP policy on green utilization efficiency of urban land (GUEUL). The results reveal that LCCP policy has a beneficial impact on GUEUL and can effectively boost the future possibilities of green and low-carbon city development. Due to variances in regional economic and resource endowment level, the impacts of LCCP are different. The pilot has pushed GUEUL in the eastern region, western region, and growing resource-based cities, but has failed to improve GUEUL in other regions. Policymakers should adhere to the long-term sustainability of the LCCP policy and adopt differentiated action strategies to promote GUEUL when implementing it in different regions.

“…While larger cities with reasonable spatial density can also reduce traffic EC (Chang et al, 2019). For example, increasing the high-density layout of cities can shorten commuting distances, reduce energy transmission and distribution losses, and achieve economies of scale in public facilities in order to achieve the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction (Burton, 2000;Leibowicz, 2020). Lin and Du (2017) found that the construction of urban rail transit can reduce automobile EC by 5.5% and vehicle EC per capita by 6.6%.…”

Urbanization is important for population transfer, it triggers the coordination and adaptation process among population, space and industries, which in turn have multiple effects on energy consumption (EC). This paper conducted multidimensional effects decomposition of EC change in China (1998–2017) based on a modified LMDI model. The findings revealed that urbanization has a greater pulling effect on EC of production side over life side. Household consumption effect is the leading factor stimulating the increase in EC at production side. The convergence of urban and rural residents' consumption behaviors has increasingly contributed to EC fluctuation at life side, and become the handicap for energy sustainable development with population expansion. Unreasonable land utilization from space aspect has intensified EC, however, the scale effect produced by population agglomeration negatively caused fluctuation of living EC. The transformation and upgrading of traditional energy-driven industries and technological progress have alleviated energy pressure, and the consumption inhibiting effect has an inverted U-shaped effect on EC (promote first, decrease later). Thus, this paper further proposed that when the development from industry aspect encounters bottleneck, more attention should be paid to improve residents' consumption habits at population aspect, and release resource allocation momentum from space aspect to reduce EC.

“…It usually takes several years to reach an equilibrium state (Zhong and Bushell, 2017b). Land use is defined as the human use of land, representing the economic and activities undertaken in a certain place (Leibowicz, 2020). In the urban planning literature, conventional metrics to describe the characteristics of urban land use or the built environment include density, diversity, street design, destination accessibility, and distance to transit (Cervero and Kockelman, 1997;Fan and Khattak, 2008;Leibowicz, 2020).…”
