A Research Paradigm for Industrial Spatial Layout Optimization and High-Quality Development in The Context of Carbon Peaking

Abstract

The reasonable spatial layout of industries is crucial to carbon reduction and high-quality economic development. This paper establishes a research paradigm for optimizing the industrial spatial layout and high-quality development in the context of carbon peaking. Based on the perspectives of industrial transfer, the static agglomeration index, dynamic agglomeration index, industrial gradient coefficient, and low-carbon competitiveness index are used to analyze industrial agglomeration, competition status, and low-carbon competitiveness. Taking the Great Bend of the Yellow River (the Bend) as an example, we analyze the current situation in industrial development, guide the orderly transfer of industry, and optimize the spatial layout of industries to achieve high-quality economic development. The results show that resource- and capital-intensive industries have obvious advantages in agglomeration, competitive edge, and low-carbon competitiveness, while labor- and technology-intensive industries have weak advantages. The spatial layout of agglomerated industries was analyzed across four types of factor-intensive industries; these industries are the focus of industrial layout in the Bend. Promising industries were observed in all types of factor-intensive industries except capital-intensive industries, and these industries should be cultivated carefully in all provinces. Scale industries were mainly observed in resource- and capital-intensive industries; these industries should be transformed and upgraded to control the total amount and intensity of carbon emissions. The study’s findings provide a basis for optimizing the spatial layout of industries and reducing carbon emissions through industrial transfer in the context of carbon peaking. The relevant industries should be transformed and upgraded to control the total amount and intensity of carbon emissions.

Spatial Coupling of Carbon Sink Capacity with High-Quality Development Based on Exploitation and Protection Pattern

“…Carbon sink capacity is a significant endogenous driving force of carbon sequestration. The distribution pattern of carbon is influenced by land-use and land-cover change, and structural and environmental factors [23,24]. Improving carbon sink capacity requires a holistic approach that considers multiple land types.…”

“…These studies have enriched the research content of the evaluation index system. Some recent studies [23][24][25] have explored the relationship between carbon sequestration and economic growth, while others have constructed an indicator system based on the ecological niche theory to measure and analyze the ecological niche for high-quality development in resource-based cities. However, the coupling relationship between high-quality economic development and ecological carbon sinks has not been extensively explored.…”

Practice and Reflection on the Transformation of Performance-Oriented Higher Education Financial Digitization Platform

“…The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that highquality development is the primary task of comprehensively building a modern socialist society [1]. Therefore, in recent years, the central task of the development of university education has been to achieve high-quality development, and the high-quality development of finance is an important and powerful support for the high-quality development of university education [2]. With the continuous development of universities, finance has become increasingly crucial.…”

The green economic impact of a green comprehensive industry agglomeration: An example from the sports industry

“…Many studies have shown that optimizing the industrial layout and adjusting the industrial structure are the fundamental ways of transforming the economic development mode [ [ 3 , 4 ]]. Promoting green upgrading and layout optimization of industries and achieving the green and sustainable development of the economy have also become the frontiers of cross-disciplinary research in geography and economics.…”
