“…These developments lead to better use of energy and low rate of emission (Newman & Kenworthy, 1989;Liddle, 2004;Chen et al, 2008). Despite these agreements, some of the major studies in recent years are examining the relationship between urbanization, energy consumption and CO 2 emission are (Wei & Liu, 2007;Liu, 2009;Liu & Xie, 2009;Parshall, et al, 2010;Donglan et al, 2010;Poumanyvong & Kaneko, 2010;Xiangyang & Guiqiu, 2011;Liu et al, 2011;Hossain, 2011;Li et al, 2012;Zhang & Lin, 2012;Shahbaz & Lean, 2012;Poumanyvong et al, 2012;Al-mulali et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2013;Jones, 1991) empirically examined the effect of urbanization on Carbon emission for a large basket of developing economies. Based on its empirical results, the study reported that there is significant impact of urbanization in CO 2 emission.…”

The faster growing energy consumption and urbanization are supporting economic growth but are contributing in the environmental degradation. The existing empirical literature has been remained silent on this serious issue in case of GCC countries. The present study captures these rectangular relationships amongst these variables in the GCC countries by using panel unit root and cointegration tests for a period 1980-2011. The study finds the first difference stationarity and existence of cointegration among the concerned variables. Further, urbanization has the positive impact on CO 2 , energy consumption and economic growth. Economic growth has a positive impact on CO 2 and has a negative impact on energy consumption. Energy consumption has a positive impact on CO 2 and CO 2 has a positive impact on energy consumption and economic growth. The causality tests also confirm the direction of relationships in the most of GCC countries in the country-specific analysis. The results of the study suggest the urban planning and clean energy consumption to avoid the pollutant emissions and to achieve sustainable development for GCC countries in the long run.

Urban infrastructure is a necessary condition for urban development. Its use generates three benefits which are economic, social, and environmental benefits of urban infrastructure. They are the positive impacts on urban economy, society, and environment generated by the use of urban infrastructure, respectively. This paper evaluates the coupling coordination among these three benefits taking four Chinese autonomous municipalities as examples. These four cities have large-scale urban infrastructure but its basic function has not been fully fulfilled. Whether three benefits of urban infrastructure have been developed in harmony or not was unclear. We analyzed the coordinated development among three benefits by constructing coupling coordination degree model and studied the impacts of three benefits on their coupling coordination degree using panel regression model. The results showed that the levels of coordinated development among three benefits of urban infrastructure were low in these four cities and the impact of social benefit on their coordinated development was largest. Therefore, urban infrastructure social benefit needs to be improved mainly in these four cities.

“…In this paper, the coupling degree was used to quantitatively describe the interactional between the CDI and CES subsystems and to study the development characteristics and tendency of urban system at different coupling levels. Building on previous research [11,28,39,40,43,[45][46][47][48], the CDI-CES coupling model was constructed using the following equations:…”

Abstract:To realize sustainable urban development that minimizes environmental impacts, the relationship between urban development intensity and eco-environmental stresses should be clearly revealed. This paper focused on the Bohai Rim coastal area, where cities have experienced significant development in the last decade. An index system was developed to quantify the comprehensive urban development intensity (CDI) and comprehensive eco-environment stresses (CES). Remote sensing imagery and statistical data were used to provide indices for CDI and CES. Spatiotemporal analysis was carried out on the correlation between the two indices. The coupling between the CDI and CES was then investigated to explore the urban development characteristics of each city in the study area, its development level, and the trend of urban development. Results showed that human activities surrounding urban development were partly dependent on the use of ecological resources to a certain degree, and that the degree of dependence increased with year. To promote a sustainable level of urban development, the government should focus on not only the high development intensity, but also the high quality of the eco-environment. Dalian was a good model of how to achieve a balance between the two.
