“…Mingxing Chen stated that at present, the core of China's urbanization is to improve the quality of urbanization, rather than urbanization quantity or speed [16], and he also analyzed the evolution and challenge for land-centered urbanization, and the way forward for people-oriented urbanization in China [19]. Xin-hai Lu proposed that a sustainable urban land-use policy had a significant positive effect on China's sustainable urbanization [92]. Therefore, based on the results and analysis, recommendations were proposed for policy makers to advance sustainable urbanization in China at the end of this paper.…”

The Spatial-Temporal Characteristics and Dilemmas of Sustainable Urbanization in China: A New Perspective Based on the Concept of Five-in-One

A large amount of ink has been spilled to paint the picture of China’s urbanization. However, more research might be done on the connotation of sustainable urbanization in China. On the basis of a literature review, this study is the first to propose the perspective of evaluating the sustainability of urbanization from the five dimensions of urbanization: economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological. Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and entropy method, a five-dimensional indicator system was established to evaluate the urbanization quality of 31 provincial regions in China during 2005–2015. Then, the coupling coordination degree model was used to calculate the coupling coordination degree of the five dimensions for each region. Furthermore, Moran’s I index and a local indicators of spatial association (LISA) cluster map were used to measure and describe the spatial disparity. Finally, a factor identification model was used to recognize the weaknesses of each region. This study leads to four major findings. (1) In 2015, only ecological urbanization had a high-quality and balanced development, while the development of cultural urbanization was inadequate and regionally unbalanced. Economic, ecological, and cultural dimensions had a significantly positive global spatial autocorrelation. The local spatial autocorrelation varies with dimension. (2) The quality of comprehensive urbanization increased during 2005–2015, while the regional disparity experienced a reduction. A positive global spatial autocorrelation was shown during 2005–2015. The High-High type in the eastern coastal areas centralized over time, while the Low-Low type in the western areas experienced a decline, and the Low-High type was stabilized in the central areas. Only Chongqing was in the High-Low type in 2015. (3) The increase of coupling coordination degree and decrease of coefficient of variation indicated a favorable situation. The coupling coordination degree also had a positive global spatial autocorrelation during 2005–2015. Both the High-High and Low-Low types experienced an obvious shrink and displacement. The Low-High type expanded and centralized in the central areas, while the High–Low type was in Guangdong in 2005, and in Chongqing in 2015. (4) The highest obstacle degrees of each region were all within the cultural dimension, while the ecological dimension caused the least resistance. The lack of innovation had become the biggest barrier in most regions. Based on the above conclusions, this paper concludes with recommendations for policy makers to advance sustainable urbanization in China. Meanwhile, this study can provide lessons and suggestions for other developing countries in the world.

“…Ningbo as a pilot first-tier city in China [53] has popularized shared-bikes nearly everywhere in the city, starting with 500 stations in 2015. The appearing of bike sharing facilities and growing locations and stations across the cities directly increase the frequency of bicycle use by the general public [54], which is an alternative transportation to fossil fuel use. Therefore, the construction of more bicycle lanes with shade and direct access to storage facilities is necessary.…”

An Introduction to Neighborhood Sustainability Assessment Tool (NSAT) Study for China from Comprehensive Analysis of Eight Asian Tools

In comparison to city-level and building-level sustainability research, neighborhood-level sustainable urban development is less studied. One of the ways of achieving sustainability at this level is the use of the Neighborhood Sustainability Assessment Tool (NSAT), which focuses on the sustainable urban development of districts, communities, and neighborhoods. NSAT is comprised of urban sustainable indicators and associated points ascribed towards achieving specific urban agendas, called headline sustainability indicators (HSIs) and themes. In China, neighborhood-level sustainability agenda has just been recently established in 2017. Hence, there is an immediate need for NSAT development of multiple cities responding to specific regions of different climate zones in China. As an example, this study utilizes the case of Ningbo City, located in east China, for such NSAT development. This paper provides a comprehensive analytical and comparison study of eight Asian NSATs to highlight compatibilities and extract specific indicators for a new NSAT development for China. The results from this comparative and analytical study, developed through a multidimensional approach of sustainable pathway model (SPM) inform a new NSAT development in a new context. This novel contribution is significant in a context where neighborhood sustainability measures are recently developed. This study serves as the starting point for future research of NSATs in China and other countries.

“…This has brought a number of challenges to the fore, particularly those that require collaboration, innovation and capability development between nations (Oyinlola et al, 2018). Furthermore, a strategy for sustainable urbanization, especially, the land use policy has been implemented in some cities for years (Lu and Ke, 2018). This has lead to economic growth, changes in spatial attributes and integration of urban activity systems and its relative dynamics are much higher than in the centres of the largest cities (Kowalczyka et al, 2019).…”

The rapid development observed in metropolitan cities affects the spatial interaction between regions and urban cluster settlements, leading to the fiscal growth of suburbs. This study is therefore, aimed to examine and analyze the spatial integration, urban agglomeration, economic growth and formation of the social territorial structures in the Mamminasata Metropolitan suburb using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Meanwhile, data were obtained through observation, surveys and documentation studies. Furthermore, the results showed that an elevation in the pattern of urban activities elicited changes parameters assessed which lead to economic growth in the suburbs of Mamminasata Metropolitan. This finding further indicated that spatial integration an urban agglomeration and the increase of activity, led to land tenure inequality and differences in adaptation between migrants and the local community. However, changes in spatial use influenced the structure and pattern of space, therefore, causing the formation of social territorial structures in the area.
