“…The urbanisation process will inevitably have an impact on increasing the use of energy, resulting in the emission of large amounts of greenhouse gases such as CO 2 (Haouraji et al, 2021;Mata et al, 2021;Pang et al, 2021). Ding et al (2021) analysed the impact of 182 prefecture-level cities in China on carbon emissions during rapid urbanisation.…”

China’s ambitious measures for developing a low-carbon economy led to the “double carbon” target initiation. Under this national goal, reaching peak carbon emissions by 2030 is desired. This should not come at the cost of economic growth; which means carbon emissions can be reduced while economic growth can be achieved simultaneously. To realise this strategic reform, the first pilot ecological civilisation zone in Fujian Province of China was initiated; its outcome is set to be the responsible case for such initiations aiming at increased low-carbon economy development. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth based on the evidence. Hence, we applied a model that combines the Tapio and Coupled coordination. Combining the Tapio and the coupled coordination models allows us to analyse carbon emissions and economic growth in Fujian Province over 20 years, i.e., 2001–2020. First, we divided the urban-rural integration process into four stages following China’s Five-Year Plan (FYP): T1 (2001–2005), T2 (2006–2010), T3 (2011–2015), and T4 (2016–2020). Second, ArcGIS mapping was used to represent the spatial evolution pattern of low-carbon economic development in Fujian Province. We observed that the low-carbon economy in Fujian Province had reached a point where the economic growth rate has already exceeded its carbon emission growth rate and is currently in a weak decoupling state. In addition, there observed a bifurcation pattern between carbon emissions and economic growth, especially in the coastal cities that are out of balance, whereas the inland cities are being coordinated. Overall, it is observed that the concept of ecological civilisation is crucial for China to achieve the “double carbon goal,” and it is high time to create accelerating measures that guide the integration of urban and rural areas in the future with appropriate infrastructure.

“…First of all, a body of literature has focused on how urbanization affects carbon dioxide emissions in regions with different levels of GDP or income per capita [13][14][15]34,35,38]. Then, based on these findings, researchers further investigated the processes underlying a region's economic development that caused different relationships between urbanization and carbon dioxide emissions to occur.…”

“…In turn, the majority of extant literature has focused on the impact of economic processes accompanying rapid urbanization on carbon dioxide emissions in urban areas [12,13]. However, only a few studies have paid attention to the other urbanization processes, such as developments of education and healthcare services, population concentration, and changes in urban and natural environments, which may have important effects on carbon emissions [14][15][16]. It is increasingly highlighted that there are complex mechanisms by which urbanization has both positive and negative impact on energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions [17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…Factors related to economic growth: It was highlighted that economic growth, indicated by GDP per capita and income, has important implications for the relationship between urbanization and carbon dioxide emissions [11,[13][14][15]34,35,38]. Moreover, research has reported that foreign direct investment (FDI) can affect the carbon dioxide emissions in host countries by driving economic development in those areas, which causes environmental degradation [56].…”

This study examines the relationship between urbanization, economic growth, industrial transformation, technological change, public services, demographical change, urban and natural environmental changes, and carbon emissions using a dataset of 182 prefecture-level cities in China between 2001 and 2010. Specifically, this paper differs from previous studies in two aspects. First, the extant literature has focused on how economic processes accompanying rapid urbanization affect carbon emissions in urban areas but gives little attention to the other dimensions of urbanization, including social and environmental changes, which may have important effects on carbon emissions. We assessed the effects of 17 key processes accompanying urbanization in a full range of economic, social, and environmental dimensions on carbon dioxide emissions in urban areas. The results showed that social processes accompanied with rapid urbanization had distinct effects on carbon emissions, compared to economic and environmental processes. Specifically, improvement in public services, indicated by education and cultural developments, reduces the increase in carbon emissions during urbanization, while economic growth and urban construction reinforces the growth in carbon emissions. Second, we examined the impact of various urbanization processes on carbon dioxide emissions using a unique dataset of 182 prefecture-level cities that covers a wide span of regions in China. The results of our analyses on the city level have important implications for the formulation of comprehensive policies aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emission in urban areas, focusing on different urbanization processes in economic, social, and environmental phases.
