Overview

Randomized trial analyzes SDG integration levels in China’s spatial planning, highlighting scalability in governance.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess how well China’s spatial planning integrates Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) post-2019 reforms.
  • Analyzed 288 prefecture-level territorial spatial planning approval documents using artificial intelligence.
  • Measured textual integration of SDGs based on identified characteristics in planning documents.
  • Examined correlations between integration scores and the Human Development Index across provinces.
  • 70.5% of TSP documents show high levels of SDG integration.
  • High-integration documents focus on spatial configuration and resilience; lower ones prioritize resource allocation.
  • Integration scores correlate weakly with the Human Development Index and demonstrate provincial clustering.
