Many cities across the world face the challenge of severe fine particulate matter (PM 2.5)
pollution. Among the many factors that affect PM 2.5 pollution, there is an increasing interest …

The rapid urbanization of China related to fine particulate (PM 2.5) emissions has attracted
global attention, and exploring how urban forms affect PM 2.5 concentration has become a …

We examine the effects of the urban built environment on PM2. 5 (fine particulate matter with
diameters equal or smaller than 2.5 μm) concentrations by using an improved region-wide …

City planners are increasingly drawn to the possibilities of transforming urban spatial
structure as an important strategy for reducing air pollution. This paper addresses mixed …

China's rapid urbanization and severe PM 2.5-dominated air pollution have received
worldwide attention. It is important to reveal how urbanization affects the generation of PM …

While many studies find that air pollution has been generally related with natural factors and
anthropogenic activities, relatively little attention has been paid to exploring the impact of …

Planned urban form has become an important strategy to improve air quality in urban
agglomerations (UAs), especially pollution due to PM 2.5, but the influencing mechanisms …

Although PM 2.5 poses a serious threat to public health, the role of urban form in influencing
concentrations of this air pollutant is unresolved. Ridge regression was employed to …

Whilst numerous studies have explored the spatial patterns and underlying causes of PM
2.5, little attention has been paid to the spatial heterogeneity of the factors affecting PM 2.5 …

China's rapid urbanization has aggravated its air pollution problems and subsequently
results in increased interests in the relationship between urbanization and PM 2.5 …
