Abstract
Although the extensive urbanization construction in China has improved the speed of economic growth, it also has a serious impact on environmental pollution (EP). How to alleviate the problem of EP caused by urbanization in China needs to be solved urgently. In this paper, the direct impact, spatial spillover effect and their spatial heterogeneity of urbanization on EP were investigated empirically by using the dynamic Spatial Durbin Model. The results are as follows: There are spatial agglomeration characteristics of EP in China, and EP has shown significant dynamic inertia of non-cross-regional and cross-regional; There is no Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) relationship between urbanization and EP either in the whole region or in the local region, and the improvement of local urbanization level will inhibit local environmental quality; The spatial spillover effect of EP in the eastern region is significantly negative, and there is an EKC relationship between urbanization and local or global EP in the eastern region. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate policies to reduce EP from the source, establish a regional joint prevention mechanism for EP control, transform the extensive development model of urbanization into compact and smart, and implement regional differentiation of EP control ideas.
