Abstract

Highlights: The relationship between urban form and non-point source emissions is explored in China. Higher levels of fragmented and complex urban forms generally show higher emissions of CO, NOx, and PM2.5. The compact urban form in northern China will reduce emissions more effectively than in southern.
