Examining the Impacts of Economic, Social, and Environmental Factors on the Relationship between Urbanization and CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions

This study examines the relationship between urbanization, economic growth, industrial transformation, technological change, public services, demographical change, urban and natural environmental changes, and carbon emissions using a dataset of 182 prefecture-level cities in China between 2001 and 2...
