“…Hence, the relative study from the perspective of agglomeration is quite abundant (Zeng and Zhao, 2009;Cheng, 2016), but the empirical study on the relationship between agglomeration and pollution emissions has not yet reached a consistent conclusion. Some studies suggest that the influence of agglomeration on pollution emission is nonlinear and that excessive agglomeration without reasonable space distribution will increase emissions (Newman and Kenworthy, 1989;Kamal-Chaoui and Robert, 2009;Glaser and Kahn, 2010;Qin and Wu, 2014).…”

With the rise of the city-regions development strategy, the impact of the spatial structure in city-regions on environmental pollution becomes an increasingly important issue related to sustainable regional development. Although previous studies have paid attention to spatial structure affecting environmental quality, there is a lack of analyzing the reduction effect of industrial pollution emission from the perspective of polycentricity and monocentricity. In order to provide the evidence from industrial production activities to test the relationship between spatial structure and industrial pollution, this study extends the production density model by treating industrial pollution emissions as non-expected output and introducing the spatial structure factor into the model, thus revealing the non-linear interactive effects of spatial structure and agglomeration on industrial pollution emissions, and exploring this emission reduction effect and its mechanisms using threshold regression model and mediation model. The empirical analysis shows that spatial structure matters and the results are as follows: Firstly, polycentricity is associated with lower industrial pollution emission intensity, but the emission reduction effect of polycentricity depends on regional agglomeration. Secondly, the higher the regional agglomeration, the greater the emission reduction effect. Thirdly, the heterogeneity test also indicates that the geographical compactness and unified administration of city-regions strengthen this emission reduction effect. Fourthly, the mediating effect test verifies the three mechanisms proposed in this study, among which energy utilization efficiency effect plays a major role. The governments are expected to promote the transformation of the spatial structure from a monocentricity to polycentricity based on the level of regional agglomeration to ensure that the expected emission reduction effect can be achieved.

“…Les inondations résultant de la montée des océans peuvent causer d'importants préjudices. La moitié des espaces africains regroupant un à cinq millions d'habitants se situent dans des zones côtières à faible élévation, exposées aux inondations (Kamal-Chaoui et Robert, 2009). En Égypte, la zone littorale accueille 40 % de l'ensemble de la population.…”

Roughly two-thirds of all emissions in the United States come from electricity and road transport activities in urban and intermediate regions, with an additional one-quarter produced by industrial and residential uses (Kamal-Chaoui and Robert, 2009).
