“…The stalemate between the development of motor vehicles and the prevention/control of atmospheric pollution has gradually become a notable topic of discussion, particularly its severe effects on sustainable development and public health (Yang, 2014). After the US embassy released the PM 2.5 data in Beijing in 2011 (Zhu, 2018), the Chinese Government has made increasing efforts for exploring some long-term and effective measures to mitigate air pollution, particularly air pollution from vehicles in cities. China’s State Council also ordered the local government to release the PM 2.5 data to the public.…”

“…Current environmental policies and measures on air pollution are far behind the development of the vehicle industry in recent decades. Air quality in China, especially in many cities, has received unprecedented attention since the serious PM 2.5 (particulate matter no larger than 2.5 µm in diameter) pollution incidents in Beijing in 2013 (Song et al, 2018; Zhu, 2018). Along with other pollutants, researchers and the public have increasingly considered vehicle emissions to be a significant factor in deteriorating air quality.…”

China has been the largest vehicle market in the world since 2009. The stalemate between the rapid development of the vehicle industry and delayed vehicle emission control has become increasingly prominent. Vehicle emission has become a significant source of air pollution in China’s cities. Understanding the current barriers in the vehicle industry is necessary for the development of effective and sustainable measures and policy to manage vehicle-induced air pollution. This review provides insight into the circumstances and causes of vehicle-induced air pollution and outlines recent progress in policy-makers’ long-term strategies and regulations. The development of an integrated mechanism of social participation, technical revolution, and regulatory innovation in vehicles, fuel, and roads is suggested to break the stalemate between air pollution and the automobile boom in China; the implications of this review extend to other countries facing the similar atmospheric pollution problems.

“…Air pollution has emerged as one of the most significant environmental issues in China and other developing nations. Since serious PM 2.5 pollution incidents in Beijing in 2013, air quality in China, especially in many cities, received unprecedented attention (Song et al, 2018;Zhu, 2018). Besides other contaminants, researchers and public opinion have gradually perceived that vehicle emissions have been identified as a significant contributor to air pollution in most cities in China (Gong et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2016), and has even exceeded other sources of contamination for some cities.…”

Mobility sharing economy in Shanghai

Urban development is key to sustainable development in the world because people have moved from rural areas to urban cities. Mobility and transport have the highest potential to reduce emissions of carbon in urban areas. Local and international companies have been affected by introducing Chinese apps and smart communication networks. A vast potential can be seen in turning urban mobility into long-term sustainability by incorporating pre-existing but under-utilized lowcarbon carriers in cities like public transport into various shared business networks. Though, exponential market growth and creativity in the sharing economy have undermined existing knowledge sources, socio-economic relations, and physical and spatial urban infrastructures. This paper explores the connection between the ongoing development of urban systems and socio-ecological developments in mobility sharing, using observational data from three case studies focusing on automobile sharing in Shanghai. There is a robust evolutionary structure that incorporates an increasingly sustainable urban at macro-level and advanced industry systems into a smart and green transport framework at meso-level. These two layers of evolutionary expansion in urban environments and market systems, created by disruptive mobility-sharing innovations and brought on by urban changes towards an increase in sustainability, both shape one another and strengthen sustainable principles and practices in the swift-changing urban and business innovation industries in Shanghai.
