Under this background, it is of great significance that to make objective evaluation of urbanization threshold effect on energy consumption, to accordingly formulate corresponding policies to promote the coordinated development of urbanization, energy and environment, and to provide energy security for the sustainable development urbanization construction of our country. The direct and indirect effects of urbanization on energy consumption are increasing, and the relationship between urbanization and energy consumption in China has drawn wide attention from many scholars at home and abroad. At present, China is in the middle stage of rapid urbanization development, and the problem that urban spatial layout is not compatible with the carrying capacity of resources and environment is becoming more and more prominent. It can be seen that urbanization has an important impact on China’s energy consumption, and the pressure on China’s green and sustainable development is mainly in urban areas. This means that China’s total energy consumption will increase by 240 million tons of standard coal in the next four years due to the increase of urbanization alone. According to the plan, China’s urbanization rate will reach 60% by 2020. Every one percentage point increase in the urbanization rate will boost energy consumption by 80 million tons of standard coal. China’s urban areas consume 75.15% of the country’s total energy, and the per capita energy consumption of urban residents is 6.8 times that of rural residents, according to the National Report on New Urbanization. Urbanization process not only involves a large number of rural people moved to cities, but also involves the economic transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, which inevitably lead to urban infrastructure construction of large-scale investment, resulting in a large number of energy consumption, and will eventually bring huge pressure on resource, environment and ecology. Energy, as a driving force for the development of human society, is the basis of the development of modern urbanization. The acceleration of urbanization leads to the increasingly prominent contradiction between economic development and ecological construction. China’s urbanization has entered a period of rapid development. According to the latest data released by the national bureau of statistics, the proportion of urban population in China in 2016 was 57.35 percent of the total population, which was higher than the world average. Urbanization is the inevitable result of socialized mass production and economies of scale. On energy consumption and control the trend of energy consumption. Promote sound and rapid urbanization to grasp the law of urbanization’s effect Gap of urbanization development of areas to coordinate urbanizationĭevelopment and energy consumption in the eastern and western regions,Īccelerate industrial restructure in the middle and western regions, and

Promote economic development of the western and middle region, and narrow the Three rationalization proposals: To speed up the marketization of construction, Middle and western areas to transversely compare and analyze, and put forward Therefore, this paper considered China in three areas, eastern, That the urbanization transformation will face great pressure on energyĬonsumption. Stimulation of urbanization on energy consumption becomes smaller, which means Level of economic development enters the post-industrialization stage, the Urbanization is to accelerate the increase of energy consumption. That in the accelerated stage of economic development, the main impact of Optimizing the industrial structure and finally realizing the coordinatedĭevelopment of urbanization and energy consumption in China.

Nonlinear relationship between urbanization and energy consumption and theĬorresponding regional differences and hope to make reasonable suggestions for Threshold model was used to study the threshold effect. Urban population, the proportion of the tertiary industry as control variables. Industrialization level, urban per capita disposable income, the density of Urbanization rate as the core variable, GDP per capita as threshold variables, and selected GDP per capita, Provinces in China, used energy consumption as the explained variable, the Therefore, this article was based on panel data from 2005 to 2016 of 30 To changes in the total energy consumption and structure, which will inevitablyĪffect the realization of China’s rapid and sustainable economic development The rapid development of China’s urbanization in recent years has led Urbanization is also key factors that stimulate the energy consumption Energy is an important material impetus for
