“…Thirdly, it is crucial to have a correct understanding of the role of government intervention and manage the government-market relationship appropriately. In the initial development stage, dominated by factor input, strong government intervention invisibly plays the role of a "judge" on regional fairness 32 . However, with the shift in gear in urban agglomerations and the new normal in economic growth, sustaining large-scale factor-driven development paths led by local governments becomes challenging and limits regional inequality contraction.…”

Urban agglomeration, the trend and main carrier of future urbanization in the world, plays an important role in integrating regional resources and promoting economic growth. In particular, in some countries, urban agglomeration has become a policy tool for high-quality urbanization. However, does urban agglomeration play an equally positive role in reducing regional inequality? Based on theoretical analysis and a quasi-natural experiment with the China’s pilot initiative of national urban agglomeration, we confirm that urban agglomeration policy has the reverse effect of exacerbating intra-city inequality and alleviating inter-city inequality in the early stage, with superposition results not significant on overall regional inequality. However, with the passage of policy exposure, the three types of regional inequality indices show inverted U-shaped changes, but the turning point times vary greatly. Further research finds that government intervention for local competition has a time-differentiated moderating effect on the regional inequality effect of urban agglomeration policy. Finally, we provide evidence-based policy recommendations aimed at maximizing policy benefits of urban agglomeration.

In order to deeply understand the influence of meteorological drivers on ozone (O3) pollution during the high season and explore O3 pollution control options, we analyzed the temporal variation characteristics of O3 pollution based on the ambient air observation data of Pudong New Area, Shanghai from 2020 to 2021, studied the influence of meteorological drivers on O3 pollution, and explored seasonal emission reduction options based on the results of EKMA (Empirical Kinetics Modeling Approach) curves. The results show that the seasonal O3 concentration variation is spring > summer > autumn > winter; relative humidity, temperature and wind speed are the main meteorological drivers of O3 pollution; the cross‐regional transport of high O3 concentrations and precursors from the south and southwest has a strong influence on the local O3 concentration; Pudong New Area is in the “VOCs control zone” during the O3 pollution period in May. Therefore, it is important to control the production and emission of local VOCs and to strengthen the synergistic control of O3 and its precursors between regions for the control of spring O3 in Pudong New Area.
