With the rapid expansion of China’s high-speed rail network, numerous high-speed rail new towns have been established. While these new towns have brought about significant economic opportunities, they also impose pressure on local resources and environment. Accurately assessing the impacts of high-speed rail new towns on urban sustainable development is therefore a crucial issue to address. Our study employs satellite remote sensing data and spatial econometric methods to evaluate the impacts of 223 high-speed rail new towns in China from 2011 to 2021. The results indicate a gradual narrowing of development disparities among high-speed rail new towns in different cities. The construction of high-speed rail new towns has facilitated the sustainable development of cities. Notably, central high-speed rail new towns demonstrate a more considerably driving effect on the urban sustainable development compared to peripheral ones. The findings of the study provide valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners in China and other countries embarking on high-speed rail development projects. Our research highlights the importance of considering the potential impacts of high-speed rail new towns on the urban sustainable development and the need for careful planning and management to ensure that these newly-established towns contribute to a more sustainable urban future
