Urban Spatial Structure with Efficiency and Balance Considerations:Evidence from China
This paper measures the spatial structure of municipal cities from 2001 to 2017,and on this basis,it constructs economy-society-environment framework and explores the impact of urban spatial structure on economic-environmental efficiency and balanced development.The results show that the monocentric structure can significantly improve the overall performance of urban economic-environmental efficiency and balanced development.However,the higher the population size,the more conducive the polycentric structure is to achieve efficiency and balanced development.Besides,the combination of monocentric structure and spatial-intervention policy or the combination of polycentric structure and spatial-neutral policy can achieve the economic-enviemmental efficiency and balanced development.What is more,further dividing spatial-intervention policy into environmental pollution supervision policy and points-based household registration policy,it is found that the policy of points-based household registration re-duced the overall performance of efficiency and balance,while improving the supervision of environmental pollution issues significantly improved the overall performance.Overall,the monocentric structure+spatial-intervention policy and the polycentric structure+spatial-neutral policy respectively illustrates from the perspective of spatial pattern and policy orientation that the green economy will move towards balance in spatial agglomeration.
