ABSTRACT
The distribution characteristics of urbanisation level and per capita carbon emissions from 2006 to 2019 were investigated by the ranking scale rule, using 108 cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt of China. A coupling coordination model was established to analyse the relative development relationship between the two, and exploratory spatial-temporal data analysis (ESTDA) was applied to reveal the spatial interaction characteristics and temporal evolution pattern of the coupling coordination degree. The results demonstrate that (1) The urbanisation level and per capita carbon emissions of the Yangtze River Economic Belt show a stable spatial structure of 'high in the east and low in the west'. (2) The coupling and coordination degree of urbanisation level and carbon emissions show a trend of 'decreasing and then increasing', with a spatial distribution of 'high in the east and low in the west'. (3) The spatial structure exhibits strong stability, dependence, and integration. The stability is enhanced from west to east, the coupling coordination degree has strong transfer inertia, and the spatial pattern's path dependence and locking characteristics show a trend of weak fluctuation. Therefore, the coupling and coordination analysis is required for the coordinated development of urbanisation and carbon emission reduction.
