“…On the one hand, economic development contributes to massive energy consumption and thus increases carbon emission [ 41 ]. On the other hand, economic development can encourage the exploitation and utilization of clean energy as it increases people’s concerns about environmental conservation, which contributes to carbon emission reduction [ 42 ]. Urbanization level.…”

“…Moreover, a good medical level and transportation-communication have improved residents' requirements for the ecological environment. A better medical level is conducive to residents' health awareness, which makes them more sensitive to the surrounding ecological environment [82,83]. The improvement of transportation-communication means the expansion of the scope of information received by residents, which leads residents to compare the ecological environment in which they live, indirectly reducing the tolerance of residents to environmental pollution [84].…”

High-quality human habitat cities in developing countries are facing new urban environmental problems as a result of the significant resource footprints of wealthy urban populations in the process of rapid urbanization. These areas are desperate for solutions to the coexistence of old and new pollutants, as well as inorganic and organic compounds. The authors of this study propose a comprehensive framework and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of environmental regulation in high-quality human habitat cities for a state-of-the-art path of improving environmental governance and optimizing environmental policies in these regions. This paper aims to analyze the effectiveness of environmental regulation and its spatial spillover in cities with high-quality human habitats. The results reveal that environmental regulation has a marginal effect on such cities, and local governments in the area have a race to the bottom in environmental governance. This study not only contributes to the promotion of an evaluation framework for examining the effectiveness of existing environmental regulations but also makes policy recommendations for adapting to the changing ecological environment in high-quality human habitat cities in developing countries.

By matching air quality index (AQI) data with the household data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), we identify the impact of air pollution on household medical expenses from a micro perspective. The results show that higher air pollution will increase household medical expenses and change household consumption structure. This effect is still significant after controlling for cities' relevant household and individual characteristics and economic characteristics. Under different educational backgrounds, income, hukou, gender, and other conditions, air pollution will significantly reduce medical spending. For those females in the urban areas with higher education backgrounds and higher income, the spending elasticity of air pollution is more significant than other corresponding groups. And air pollution will promote medical expenses through stronger individuals' environmental awareness, poor health conditions, bad emotional status, and positive risk aversion. Furthermore, we find that the impact of air pollution on healthcare spending remains significant after instrumental variables regression and geographical regression based on the Qinling Mountains-Huaihe River Line.
