“…To eliminate the interference of this specificity, this paper regresses using the sample without municipalities directly under the central government and provincial capitals. The results in column (5) show that these cities with special administrative levels basically do not change the positive correlation between LCCP and natural population growth rate. Due to the higher health level of cities with higher administrative levels, the marginal utility of LCCP policies is smaller.…”

“…The coefficient of the core explanatory variable increases when all control variables (except fixed effects) are added in column (4). The coefficient of LCCP is significantly positive at the 1% level when all control variables and fixed effects are included in column (5). It can be seen that the higher the level of education, the lower the natural population growth rate.…”

“…In 2021, the urban population rate worldwide was 56% (1), highlighting the significance of rapid urbanization on global sustainable development (2). While contributing 70% of the global GDP, cities also produce 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions (3,4) and have challenged the sustainable development of urban areas and the planet (5). Hence, cities are expected to develop economic, social and environmental conditions (6) to deal with the environmental and climate issues caused by urbanization (7), such as facilitating Low-carbon City (LCC) development (8) by introducing low-carbon city pilot (LCCP) policies (9).…”

IntroductionThe carbon emissions that cities contribute drive the development of low-carbon cities (LCCs) and low-carbon city pilot (LCCP) policies. However, the lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the impacts of LCCP policies on natural population growth hampers effective policy design and implementation, thus constraining sustainable development at the city level.MethodologyExtending the existing papers which focus on the relations between low-carbon pilot policies and industry transformation or economic growth, this research applies several experimental methods [e.g., Propensity Score Matching-Difference in Differences (PSM-DID)] to investigate the impacts of low-carbon pilot policies on natural population growth by applying the data from 287 prefecture-level cities in China from 2003 to 2019.Results and DiscussionThis research found that low-carbon pilot policies would positively influence the low-carbon cities’ natural population growth by influencing (a) economic factors, (b) political factors, (c) technological factors, and (d) the living environment. This research establishes a framework for understanding the impact mechanisms of LCCP on natural population growth. This paper investigates how industrial structure optimization, policy design and implementation in different regions, technological innovations, and urban green space theoretically affect natural population growth. This paper also proposed characteristics of LCCP which should be theoretically concerned by the government. From a practical perspective, this research suggests several policy recommendations. Central and local governments are encouraged to prioritize industrial structure optimization and assess populations’ dependence on cultivated land. Providing additional policy support to underdeveloped areas is crucial to promote the balance between economic and environmental development. Furthermore, establishing online public health platforms and urban green spaces is proposed to enhance the population’s health and complement the implementation of LCCP policies. This offers both theoretical and practical insights into the impacts of LCCP policies on natural population growth. Its findings contribute to designing and implementing LCCP policies in China and other developing countries at a similar development stage.

The chapter delves into smart cities, exploring their pivotal role in eco-friendly urban development. Utilizing information and communication technology (ICT), smart cities address urban challenges, enhance quality of life, and champion sustainability. The integration of IoT technology and green practices facilitates real-time data collection, green innovation, and eco-friendly urban development. Technological advancements, spanning renewable energy integration to circular economy solutions, propel environmental sustainability. Sustainable mobility solutions, energy management, and effective environmental monitoring contribute to smart and sustainable urban environments. Citizen engagement, crucial for success, requires inclusive planning and careful technology platform consideration. Challenges in implementing smart city technologies encompass ICT infrastructure, regulations, community participation, costs, and data privacy.
