Abstract

Achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality objectives has emerged as a paramount endeavor in the contemporary urban and regional development agenda. This manuscript examines Ankang City in Shaanxi Province from a carbon emission standpoint, employing the city’s domain as a foundational unit to delve into the correlation between carbon emissions and the emission efficiency within the nation’s primary functional areas, specifically focusing on restricted development zones. It further investigates the impact of various factors such as urban construction scale, population magnitude, economic breadth, industrial configuration, and land utilization on carbon emissions. This study meticulously identifies the critical indices influencing carbon emissions. Through a detailed analysis of Ankang’s carbon emission and carbon sequestration data, it is deduced that Ankang City manifests an overall carbon surplus. The findings indicate that the increment in carbon emissions and the efficiency thereof are intrinsically linked to the developmental and constructional dynamics of urban and rural areas, influenced by population density and economic advancement, displaying a year-on-year escalation alongside discernible spatial distribution patterns and characteristics. Consequently, this paper advocates strategic recommendations for fostering green and low-carbon development in Ankang City. The proposed strategic recommendations for Ankang City encompass several key actions. These actions include sustaining the overall stability of the ecosystem configuration, refining the spatial organization and intensive utilization of land, leveraging ecological benefits to bolster economic growth, constructing low-carbon urban and rural infrastructures, establishing a model for low-carbon living, and advancing the development of an intelligent carbon management framework.
