... The expansion of construction land mainly affects carbon emissions through industrial structure transformation, residential consumption, and technological investment. Since the mechanisms of these effects vary at different stages of regional integration, relevant policies need to comprehensively consider these factors to achieve a win-win situation for economic development and low-carbon emission reduction [51]. ...
... Enterprise internal control plays a crucial role in facilitating green innovation within organizations. A robust internal control system not only aids in better project management for green innovation but also enhances an enterprise's adaptability and execution capabilities in this domain [78,79]. Firstly, through risk management, internal control assists enterprises in identifying, evaluating, and managing risks related to environmental regulatory compliance, technological uncertainties, and market dynamics, providing vital support for decision-making in the realm of green innovation. ...
... During an intense heat event in Beijing in July 2017, An et al. (2020) observed a special UHI day-night cycle, and the difference in the thermal environment between urban and rural areas was enhanced during this high-temperature period. The synergy between HWs and UHIs has profound effects on local urban climate and human comfort (He et al., 2021;Wang and Miao, 2023). Yao et al. (2021) found that Beijing experienced extensive UHI effects during the daytime in summer, with UHI intensity exceeding 2℃ and a footprint change exceeding 1900 km. ...
... The rise of the digital economy provides a strong impetus for this upgrade. By strengthening the degree of association between factors, the digital economy provides a good institutional mechanism environment for the free flow of factors [24], which helps to optimize the structure of resource allocation, improve the level of inter-industry coordination and association, and promote the rationalization of the overall industrial structure. Secondly, the development of the digital economy can also accelerate the informatization and intelligence of productivity levels, break the boundaries of the traditional factor market, and accelerate the pace of factor marketization reform, thus driving the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure [13]. ...
... The advancement of new infrastructure promotes the widespread application of next-generation technologies such as cloud computing, Internet of Things, and blockchain. Also, digitalized knowledge and technology elements can be disseminated rapidly across larger geographic areas [43], overcoming spatial boundaries for the optimal allocation of innovation factor and resource. Furthermore, the establishment of data sharing platforms reduces information acquisition costs and facilitates information exchange between innovation supply and demand sides, which not only breaks the information barriers [44], but also enhances collaboration among industry, academia, and research institutions across different innovation subjects. ...
... If the former exceeds the latter, the regulation can positively impact GDE (Porter and van der Linde 1995). Conversely, if the latter outweighs the former, the regulation may have a negative impact on GDE Zhu et al. 2022). On the one hand, ER can promote enterprises' technological innovation for pollution control and eliminate highly polluting enterprises, promoting the local MGDE as well as the surrounding MGDE through the transfer of green technologies ). ...
... Population agglomeration will lead to the expansion and sharing of the labor market, which is conducive to increasing the degree of industrial agglomeration, promoting the refinement of the city's industrial division of labor, and forming an industrial structure system with complementary functions (42). The diversified industrial agglomeration has the function of an automatic stabilizer, which can effectively enhance urban economic toughness (43). Thus, urban amenities can increase population aggregation, thereby enhancing urban economic resilience. ...
... STI is the engine of social development and the internal driving force to raise the HQDCI (Brunswicker et al., 2017). Due to the insufficient supply of STI, the innovation capacity of the construction industry is currently low, the level of urban development is not high, and sustainable development has been hindered (Zheng et al., 2022). Therefore, it is necessary to actively increase investments in STI investments in the construction industry to guide the rational allocation of different resources, to promote the change and modernization of the industry structure, and to implement HQDCI. ...
