Seasonal variations of park visitor volume and park service area in Tokyo: A mixed-method approach combining big data and field observations

Journal Article

Urban green and open space are important components of achieving the goal of planning sustainable cities, by offering health benefits to urban dwellers and providing socio-economic and environmental benefits to society. Recent literature studied the usage...

The environmental co-benefit and economic impact of China’s low-carbon pathways: Evidence from linking bottom-up and top-down models

Journal Article

Deep decarbonization pathways (DDPs) can be cost-effective for carbon mitigation, but they also have environmental co-benefits and economic impacts that cannot be ignored. Despite many empirical studies on the co-benefits of NDCs at the national or...

Global modeling of heterogeneous hydroxymethanesulfonate chemistry

Journal Article

Hydroxymethanesulfonate (HMS) has recently been identified as an abundant organosulfur compound in aerosols during winter haze episodes in northern China. It has also been detected in other regions although the concentrations are low. Because of the...

Sensitivity of modeled Indian Monsoon to Chinese and Indian aerosol emissions

Journal Article

The South Asian summer monsoon supplies over 80 % of India's precipitation. Industrialization over the past few decades has resulted in severe aerosol pollution in India. Understanding monsoonal sensitivity to aerosol emissions in general circulation...

Prospective contributions of biomass pyrolysis to China’s 2050 carbon reduction and renewable energy goals

Journal Article

Deployment of negative emission technologies needs to start immediately if we are to avoid overshooting international carbon targets, reduce negative climate impacts, and minimize costs of emission mitigation. Actions in China, given its importance for...

Projected changes in wind power potential over China and India in high resolution climate models

Journal Article

As more countries commit to emissions reductions by midcentury to curb anthropogenic climate change, decarbonization of the electricity sector becomes a first-order task in reaching this goal. Renewables, particularly wind and solar power, will be...

Co-benefits of carbon and pollution control policies on air quality and health till 2030 in China

Journal Article

Facing the dual challenges of climate change and air pollution, China has made great efforts to explore the co-control strategies for the both. We assessed the benefits of carbon and pollution control policies on air quality and human health, with an...

Attitudes, perceptions, and walking behavior in a Chinese city

Journal Article

Introduction

An increasing number of walking studies discussed the relationship of walking with attitudes and perceptions. However, the findings were not consistent, and few studies examined the relationship between walking and attitudes to overall...

Beyond big versus small: assessing spatial variation of urban neighborhood block structures in high-density cities

Journal Article

A striking feature of urban formation has been the deployment of mega-blocks, often on the order of sixteen hectares or more. On the other hand, recent urban policies give strong suggestions for smaller and finer-grained neighborhood block and grid...

New towns in China: The Liangzhu story

Book Chapter

Multi-criteria locational analysis for retail development in small towns

Book Chapter

Big data is increasingly regarded as a new approach for understanding urban informatics and complex systems. Today, there is unprecedented data availability, with detailed remote-sensed data on the built environment and rich mineable web-based sources in...

In pursuit of a well-balanced network of cities and towns: A case study of the Changjiang Delta Region

Journal Article

Development of urban networks of cities and towns has received attention including discussions of tensions between population concentrations and overlaps with environmentally sensitive and disaster-prone areas. Moreover, certain development in broad...
