Causes of Sprawl: A Portrait from SpaceQuarterly Journal of Economics, 121
[In recent years, smog has frequently hit many parts of China, arousing widespread concerns. Our conjecture is that urban spatial structures have an impact on the generation of smog. In this chapter, we have calculated the sprawl index of cities in China using ground-level PM2.5 concentration data, global nighttime light data, LandScan population distribution data, and economic statistics and analyzed the influence of urban sprawl and size on smog in prefecture-level cities. The results suggest that urban sprawl increases local PM2.5 concentrations, and the size of population has a similar effect. Moreover, the correlation between urban sprawl and smog concentrations weakens as the size of cities increases, and the spatial spread of small cities leads to more serious air pollution. In addition, industrial cities often have higher smog concentrations. The conclusions of this chapter have the following practical significances: the spatial plan of a city, especially a small-sized one, should control the urban sprawl and make the city structurally compact. In the optimization of an urban system, we should steadily develop small or medium-sized cities and properly control the size of a large city, in order to facilitate coordinated development of large, medium, and small-sized cities.]
