Abstract

Under the unprecedentedly rapid urbanization development in China, municipal infrastructure GHG emission becomes substantially significant nowadays. Thus, this study evaluated the entire IOE (Municipal infrastructure operation GHG emission) and explored the impacts of urbanization on IOE using the dataset from 2001 to 2010 in Suzhou city. The calculation results showed that the total IOE increased during 2001–2006 but declined during 2006–2010, garbage disposal was the biggest emitter in municipal infrastructures. It has also been found that demographic urbanization and land urbanization were both positively correlated to IOE. In consensus with previous studies, GRDP (Gross regional domestic product) per capita and energy intensity, respectively, exert positive and negative impacts on IOE. Based on these conclusions, policy implications for IOE reduction have been suggested.
