Neighborhood-scale urban form, travel behavior, and CO
With an increasing awareness of global climate change, the effect of urban spatial organization, at both city and neighborhood scales, on urban CO 2 emission reduction has attracted much scholarly and practical attention. Using Beijing as a case study, this article examines the extent to which neighborhood-scale urban form may contribute to reduction of travel-related CO 2 emissions in the context of rapid urbanization and spatial transformation. We derive complete travel-activity records of 1,048 residents from an activity diary survey conducted in 2007. Analysis using structural equation models finds that residents living in a neighborhood with higher land use mix, public transit accessibility, and more pedestrian-friendly street design tend to travel in a "low-carbon" manner and emit less CO 2 in daily travel, even controlling for residential and travel preferences. This article offers empirical evidence that sheds light on debates about policy measures to facilitate China's transition toward sustainable and low-carbon urban development.
