How does urban land use and transportation spatial configuration affect carbon exacerbation and mitigation?

Key Points

• Carbon emissions are influenced by urban land use and transportation configuration, highlighting their interconnected roles.
• Higher carbon emissions were recorded in poorly configured transportation systems, especially in urban areas with dense populations.
• Spatial analysis of various cities demonstrated the link between urban planning and carbon mitigation strategies.
• Findings suggest that optimizing transportation and land use can significantly reduce environmental impacts in urban settings.
