“…On the other hand, in France, a crucial continental country, shrinking cities are often concentrated around the "diagonal of emptiness", characterized by small cities isolated from the well-connected and well-equipped central cities [20]. Similar shrinking characteristics can be observed in some areas of Japan and China in East Asia [30][31][32], where small cities continue to shrink as the population flows to metropolitan areas. Some even argue that in China, smaller cities are more prone to shrinkage [33].…”

Shrinking cities are a global issue with regional characteristics. This paper focuses on the county-level administrative units in the Three Northeastern Provinces in China to identify and classify shrinking cities using a two-step identification method and explores their spatial-temporal evolution. The paper utilizes the panel threshold regression model for empirical testing. The results indicate the following: (1) The number of shrinking cities in the region is large and deep. Quantitatively, the shrinking cities account for about 50% of the whole; spatially, there are six major shrinking city “groups”, showing the distribution trend around the “Ha-Da” urban corridor. (2) The threshold effect test reveals that GDP is a critical threshold variable influencing the formation of shrinking cities. Moreover, cities are classified into three types based on the threshold values: Type I (GDP > 2,270,731 yuan), Type II (434,832 < GDP ≤ 2,270,731), and Type III (GDP < 434,832). (3) The results of the dual-threshold and grouped regression models show significant variations in the dominant factors of shrinking cities of different scales. Variables such as impervious area, fiscal revenue, and grass area demonstrate relatively stable promoting effects.

“…GTFP was developed based on the concept of TFP. Initially, scholars only used input factors such as labor force and capital and output factors such as GDP to measure TFP [13,50]. However, TFP lacks consideration of environmental factors.…”

“…However, there are natural obstacles to the ecological governance of water ecosystems because rivers span different administrative regions geographically, and pollution in upstream basins often causes external costs to downstream basins [11]. Coupled with changes in China's real estate market structure these factors have led to more difficult green and sustainable urban development [12,13]. Therefore, the ecological governance of rivers requires cross-governmental co-operation.…”

Green ecological development has become an inevitable choice to achieve sustainable urban development and carbon neutrality. This paper evaluates the level of green ecological city development in the Xin’an watershed as measured by green total factor productivity (GTFP), analyzes the direct and spatial effects of the Watershed Horizontal Ecological Compensation policy on GTFP, and further examines the moderating effect of the Research and Development (R&D) incentives, industrial structure, and income gap. This paper conducts difference-in-differences (DID) and spatial regression analysis on 27 cities from 2007 to 2019. The results show that GTFP progresses to varying degrees across cities over time, especially in the pilot cities. Crucially, the Watershed Horizontal Ecological Compensation policy significantly improved GTFP, although the effect was slight. Interestingly, the increase in GTFP in pilot cities that implemented the policy spatially suppressed the increase in GTFP in cities that did not implement the policy. Our evidence also shows that the positive effect of the policy is higher in regions with higher R&D incentives and industrial structure upgrading, which indicates that R&D incentives and industrial upgrading are crucial. In comparison, the income gap has not made the expected negative adjustment effect under the Chinese government’s poverty alleviation policy. However, the positive policy effect is heterogeneous in the downstream and upstream pilot cities. The “forcing effect” of the policy on the downstream cities is more favorable than the “compensating effect” on the upstream cities. Therefore, policymakers should pay more attention to ensuring the effectiveness of the Watershed Horizontal Ecological Compensation policy in enhancing GTFP as a long-term strategy to guarantee the sustainability of green ecological development in Chinese cities.

“…Moreover, when discussing urban Land 2023, 12, 1180 2 of 17 sprawl in the Chinese context, it is vital to acknowledge the crucial role of the Chinese real estate market. Some studies have highlighted that urban sprawl in China is highly dependent on the structure and behavior of the real estate market [14][15][16][17][18][19]. Combined with China's land-centered financial system, land revenue may incentivize local governments to seek urban expansion for fiscal revenue continuously, and the development of urban renewal also demands investment that may accelerate the process by the pressure of finance and the population suburbanized relocation [16,20].…”

Urban sprawl in China presents unique characteristics that differ from those commonly studied in Western contexts, an aspect not fully explored in previous studies. Therefore, taking Wuhan, Hubei as an example and integrating population data, remote sensing data, and POI data, this research offers a perspective on sprawl development in urban China. By incorporating population, urban land use, and urban amenities, this study measures their dynamics to classify urban spaces and employs spatial regression models to identify the characteristics of sprawl development with spatial effects controlled. It further applies geographically weighted regression to examine the underlying spatial heterogeneity. The findings indicate that population growth and urban land expansion do not align perfectly, and further exploration identifies the various trends of sprawl development in urban core and periphery areas. On the other hand, some suburban areas show compact development trends, but the growth of local amenities may be limited due to the historical sprawl development legacies. Regression results reveal specific characteristics of this sprawl development. Key findings include the following: (1) shaped by the triple process of sprawl development of urban renewal, suburbanization, and rural revitalization, Wuhan shows a significant core-periphery structure with the trend of polycentricity; (2) overcrowding in central urban districts is the primary driver of sprawl development; (3) most traditional suburbs in Wuhan have emerged as a consequence of rapid urbanization with a legacy of sprawl development; (4) spatial heterogeneity across urban spaces highlights the necessity for locally tailored approaches to regulating sprawl development.
