Exploring the development of human settlements is crucial in creating a "Beautiful China" accelerating central China region growth, improving geography research, and advancing human-land system theory. This study constructs theoretical framework for coupling coordination pseudo reality takes Central Plains Urban Agglomeration as area. It investigated dynamic evolution driving mechanisms urban agglomeration using multi-source big data from online shopping, social communication, information search, remote sensing images during 2011-2021 conducted comprehensive, kernel density, degree, obstacle degree analyses. The results show that: (1) Temporal exhibited phased growth with disparities across dimensions. (2) Spatial patterns core-driven development, followed by ""-shaped comprehensive development. (3) on growing trend, laddering clearly characterized. (4) Natural population rate urbanization rate, etc. are main factors settlements; Taobao Baidu maps, settlements.

How Do Innovation-Driven Policies Affect Urban Green Land Use Efficiency? Evidence from China’s Innovative City Pilot Policy

Land, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(5), С. 1034 - 1034

Опубликована: Май 9, 2025

China has already joined the ranks of innovative nations. Accelerating technological innovation to lead a green transformation in land use is an urgent requirement for promoting ecological civilization and, turn, driving high-quality economic development. This study examines urban data spanning from 2006 2021, focusing on cities classified at prefecture level or above. Employing Chinese Innovative City Pilot Policy (ICPP) as quasi-natural experiment, this utilizes super-efficiency Slack-Based Measure (SBM) model that incorporates undesirable outputs assess Green Land Use Efficiency (GLUE). Additionally, multi-period Difference-in-Differences (DID) model, combined with mediation effect employed evaluate influence innovation-driven policies GLUE. The findings are follows: (1) Although GLUE showed variability throughout period, it generally trended upwards, significant improvements noted eastern regions and coastal city clusters. (2) Innovation-driven have effectively enhanced GLUE, conclusion supported by extensive robustness tests. (3) heterogeneity investigation indicates ICPP’s impact more advantageous geographic locations, increased environmental awareness, strong market potential. (4) A mechanism analysis demonstrates ICPP positively influences reducing sprawl concentration digital service industries. Based these results, proposes policy recommendations aimed refining approaches improve These pivotal green, low-carbon China’s social
