Abstract

Energy efficiency and environmental preservation must have substantial support if sustainable growth is to be achieved. Asia has the worst urban air pollution of any region in the world, making air pollution reduction essential. Government policies have an impact on the control of air pollution, as is widely known. This study seeks to ascertain if the city’s air quality has been positively impacted by the government’s public policies, which include the mist reduction policy of 2017 and the traffic restriction policy of 2013. In order to evaluate the success of the traffic plan using the DID technique and a linear regression model, Chengdu was selected as the intervention group and Chongqing as the control group. The results showed that the city’s air quality index dropped significantly after implementing the policy. These findings demonstrate the beneficial impact traffic public policy has on reducing air pollution. China is going through a period of economic growth and transformation, but there are yet no institutions in place to support the implementation of environmental regulation. China’s research into and practise of sustainable development will be influenced by examining the efficacy of public policies on air governance.
