  • How severe is sunlight deprivation in urban residential communities? A perspective from architectural and vegetation shading

    Open Access•Xiwen Zhang, Menglin Yan et al.•ARTICLE•Sustainable Cities and Society•2026

  • High-resolution mapping and analysing urban building carbon emissions in the whole life cycle: The case of Guangzhou

    Open Access•Tong Sun, Shifa Ma et al.•ARTICLE•Sustainable Cities and Society•2026

  • Exploring future landscape changes for polycentric urbanization using cellular automata calibrated with radiation model

    Open Access•Shifa Ma, Dailuo Zhang et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning B Urban…•2025

    The use of cellular automata (CA) is essential for exploring future urban growth scenarios in spatial planning. However, modeling polycentric urbanization processes with CA is still challenging due to the presence of spatial spillover effects arising from spatial interactions between different regions. This study proposes a hybrid framework that addresses the spatial spillover effect that emerges from multi-centers by coupling a radiation model (…

  • Neighboring matters: Quantifying internal morphology and external spatial interactions on land surface temperature among urban functional zones

    Open Access•Hongquan Cheng, Yunnan Cai et al.•ARTICLE•Sustainable Cities and Society•2025

  • Impacts of multi-scale built environment on transportation carbon emissions: A Guangzhou case

    Open Access•Rong Wu, Yong-Li Zhang et al.•ARTICLE•Cities•2025•References: 2

  • Re-identifying green infrastructure network towards sustainable urban futures: A Dynamic Temporal Trade-Off Simulation

    Open Access•Dailuo Zhang, Yunnan Cai et al.•ARTICLE•Cities•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 1

  • Divergent multiple actor-driven path creation and spatial evolution of emerging digital economy industry in Guangzhou City, China

    Open Access•Tianlan Fu, Kaihuai Liao et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Geography•2024

    While evolutionary economy geographers have paid increasing attention to the new industrial path creation in emerging economies, less has been done to compare the path creation between core and peripheral areas at the sub-regional level in the Global South. By taking the digital economy industry in Guangzhou City as a case, this study reveals that given the different initial conditions, innovative entrepreneurship, institutional entrepreneurship …

  • Does the optimal land use pattern for cross-regional cooperation change at different stages of urbanization? Evidence from the trade-off between urban growth scenarios and SDGs indicators

    Open Access•Shifa Ma, Guanwei Wang et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Geography•2024

  • Quantify the Potential Spatial Reshaping Utility of Urban Growth Boundary (UGB): Evidence from the Constrained Scenario Simulation Model

    Open Access•Shifa Ma, Haiyan Jiang et al.•ARTICLE•ISPRS International Journal of…•2022

    Many countries, including China, have implemented the spatial government policy widely known as urban growth boundary (UGB) for managing future urban growth. However, few studies have asked why we need UGB, especially pre-evaluating the utility of UGB for reshaping the future spatial patterns of cities. In this research, we proposed a constrained urban growth simulation model (CUGSM) which coupled Markov chain (MC), random forest (RF), and patch …

  • Towards balanced development stage: Regulating the spatial pattern of agglomeration with collaborative optimal allocation of urban land

    Open Access•Shifa Ma, Yunnan Cai et al.•ARTICLE•Cities•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 57

    Urban agglomeration is an important carrier that promotes urbanization into an advanced stage, addressing its unbalanced development is an important task for the newly established territorial spatial planning in China. This research proposed a collaborative optimal allocation of urban land (COAUL) model which provides a simulation tool both for the quantity and spatial structure optimization of urban agglomeration. COAUL first optimizes the quant…

  • Evaluation of Community Resilience in Rural China—Taking Licheng Subdistrict, Guangzhou as an Example

    Open Access•Jian‐Hong Fan, Mo You et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    Resilience of rural communities is becoming increasingly important to contemporary society. In this study we used a quantitative method to measure the resilience regulating ability of rural communities close to urban areas-in Licheng Subdistrict, Guangzhou City, China. The main results are as follows: (1) Rural systems close to urban areas display superior adapting and learning abilities and have a stronger overall resilience strength, the spatia…

  • Examining the Effects of Land Use on Carbon Emissions: Evidence from Pearl River Delta

    Open Access•Yabo Zhao, Shifa Ma et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    Land-use change accounts for a large proportion of the carbon emissions produced each year, especially in highly developed urban agglomerations. In this study, we combined remote sensing data and socioeconomic data to estimate land-use-related carbon emissions, and applied the logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) method to analyze its influencing factors, in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) of China in 1990-2015. The main conclusions are as follows: …
