City shape and air pollution
Gallé, Johannes - 2023
contemporary nexus between city shape and air pollution in India. I find that the compactness of a city has statistically … different compactness measures. While geographic dispersion allows for more fresh air corridors, differences in commuting …

Urban development and air pollution: evidence from a global panel of cities
Hilber, Christian A. L.; Palmer, Charles - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2014
We exploit a unique panel of 75 metro areas (‘cities’) across the globe and employ a cityfixed effects model to identify the determinants of within-city changes in air pollution concentration between 2005 and 2011. Increasing car and population densities significantly reduce air pollution...

Policies for inclusive urbanisation in China
Koen, Vincent; Herd, Richard; Wang, Xiao; Chalaux, Thomas - 2013
Urbanisation in China has long been held back by various restrictions on land and internal migration but has taken off since the 1990s, as these impediments started to be gradually relaxed. People have moved in large numbers to richer cities, where productivity is higher and has increased...

Sustainability of Urban Sprawl : Environmental-Economic Indicators for the Analysis of Mobility Impact in Italy
Travisi, Chiara; Camagni, Roberto - 2014
Sound empirical and quantitative analysis on the relationship between different patterns of urban expansion and environmental or social costs of mobility are still very rare in Europe and the few studies available provide only a qualitative discussion on this. Recently, Camagni et al. (2002)...

Urban sprawl and air quality in European cities: an empirical assessment
Cappelli, Federica; Guastella, Gianni; Pareglio, Stefano - 2021
In this paper we estimate the relationship between urban sprawl and a measure of air quality, namely the number of days in which the PM10 concentration exceeds safeguard limits in European Union cities. Building on a multidimensional representation of sprawl, the paper employs several indicators...

Compactness vs. sprawl revisited : converging views
Ewing, Reid; Richardson, Harry Ward; Bartholomew, Keith; … - 2014
This paper examines the relative merits of compact cities or urban sprawl (suburban settlement patterns) as a spatial solution to environmental problems (such as climate control), automobile dependence, economic development, infrastructure costs and the quality of urban life.
