Urban spatial structure and total-factor energy efficiency in Chinese provinces

International experience shows that the urbanization rate between 30% and 70% is a stage of rapid urban development, which means that more people in China will enter cities in the future. Along with this urbanization process, an important theoretical and practical question posed is whether China sho...
