Abstract This paper investigates the asymmetric impact of de‐coal in China on economic output and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions through a nonlinear time series simulation over period 1965–2021. The research also estimates effects using renewable energy as an alternative fuel to replace coal. results show that reducing effect CO is stronger than increasing coal consumption. negative growth weak or insignificant. While contributes output, it has emissions. At end paper, China's targets achieve neutrality are discussed based findings.

The construction models of smart cities and low-carbon are crucial for advancing global urbanization, enhancing urban governance, addressing major challenges. Despite significant advancements in city research, a consensus on their coupling coordination remains elusive. This study employs mixed-method combining qualitative quantitative analyses, to investigate the between performance (SCP) level (LCL) across 52 typical pilot China. Independent evaluation SCP LCL qualitatively assess current state construction. Additionally, an Entropy–TOPSIS–Pearson correlation–Coupling degree (ETPC) analysis model quantitatively examines relationship. results reveal that initiatives China significantly outperform development, with notable disparities eastern, non-resource-based, central versus western, resource-dependent, peripheral cities. A strong positive correlation exists overall LCL, correlations management, society, economy, moderate weak environmental quality culture. As levels improve, systems also increases, driven primarily by economic, societal factors. Conversely, subsystems culture show poorer integration. Based these findings, this proposes system outlining pathways future development from perspective complex systems.

Smart cities were originally conceived to address a myriad of urban challenges arising from rapid urbanization, including energy scarcity, congestion, and environmental degradation. The Chinese government has made substantial efforts advance smart city initiatives. However, the extent which integration technologies contributes sustainability, especially within high-carbon urbanization paradigm, poses critical question in light escalating extreme weather events worsening global challenges. Urgency is underscored prioritizing low-carbon strategies frameworks. This paper presents Multicriteria Decision Making Network (MCDN) approach assess rank levels (LCL) 36 pilot China. Findings reveal that overall LCL among these remains relatively modest, with significant disparities attributed varying economic, social, institutional, cultural, contexts. study also delves into nexus between intelligence LCL, highlighting discernible positive correlation city's smartness its profile. Moreover, empirical evidence suggests advancements are conducive, albeit degrees, enhancing LCL. In findings, recommendations fortify economic social advancement, bolster management practices, foster multi-stakeholder collaboration propel coordinated development initiatives
