“…Demand-management policies, which encourage modal shift away from private vehicles and aim at reducing kilometers traveled, can be an effective means to reduce emissions (26,27). Three scenarios were developed to assess the impacts of various combinations of urban transport policies aimed at reducing CO 2 emissions: baseline scenario, robust governance scenario (ROG), and integrated land use and transport planning scenario (LUT) (25, 28).…”

This paper presents long-term scenarios on the development of urban passenger mobility and related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2050 in global cities that have populations greater than 300,000 on the basis of the International Transport Forum’s new global urban passenger transport model. Results from the policy scenarios analysis show that in the baseline scenario total motorized mobility and related CO2 emissions in cities will grow by 94% and 27% in 2050 compared with 2015. The share of private cars will continue to increase in developing regions while slightly decreasing in developed economies. Policy measures exist to fulfill mobility demand while reducing the carbon intensity of travel. Technology contributes the most to the CO2 mitigation in the most transit-oriented scenarios. Behavioral policies such as fuel tax, lower transit fares, and controlled urban sprawl can bring the additional mitigation efforts required to make cities sustainable and are essential to combat congestion and health issues.

“…Policies to encourage vehicle mileage reduction and more efficient modes of transport are often seen as means of reducing GHG emissions (Mishalani et al, 2014 ). Ouyang and Lin ( 2017 ) compared the urbanization stages of China and Japan and analyzed the similarities and differences of influencing factors of carbon dioxide emissions, which indicates that although carbon dioxide emissions in Japan and China show similar rigid growth characteristics in the process of urbanization.…”

As major carriers of modern economy and population, cities and towns are vortex centers of pollution migration, and the environmental effects brought about by China’s unprecedented urbanization can be imagined, although the specific scale is still a mystery. This paper focuses on the nonlinear response mechanism of urban PM 2.5 concentration to the urbanization population scale, considering that China’s urbanization development path is dominated by large- and medium-sized cities. The panel data of PM 2.5 concentration of Chinese cities observed by satellite during 1998–2016 are used to capture the nonlinear characteristics of panel threshold model (PTM). The estimation results of the double-threshold PTM including the quadratic term of urbanization population show that the U-shaped relationship between urbanization population and PM 2.5 concentration is nonlinear adjusted by urban GDP per capita with the two thresholds of 6777 Yuan and 10,296 Yuan at 2010 constant price. When the urban GDP per capita exceeds 10,296 Yuan, the urbanized population at the turning point of the U-shaped curve is 12.967 million people, which only appears in a few super-large cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing. The size matching of urban economy and population is an important follow-up of environmental policies.
