The Impact of Regional Spatial Structure on the Intensity of Urban Carbon Emissions
Based on the urban panel data from 2003 to 2019 in our country,this paper uses a variety of measurement models to empirically analyze the impact and mechanism of regional spatial structure on urban carbon emission intensity.The empirical results show that the impact of monocentric spatial structure on urban carbon emission intensity is a U-shaped relationship of first inhibition and then promotion.The technology spillover effect of industrial agglomeration is important for the monocentric spatial structure to affect the intensity of urban carbon emissions.Heterogeneity analysis shows that the impact of monocentric spatial structure on urban carbon emission intensity shows heterogeneity due to different regions and urban characteristics,and the U-shaped relationship of carbon emission intensity in the eastern region,the central cities and the cities with higher economic development is more obvious.Therefore,provinces should accelerate the construction of central cities so as to strengthen the spillover effect of central cities,each province should formulate differentiated development strategies according to local conditions,and actively guide the orderly flow of population and promote the rational layout of industries.
