To advance regional sustainable development, it is essential to understand the dynamics of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), identify synergies and trade-offs among them, and strive to enhance the former while reducing the latter. In this study, we selected 17 SDG indicators to establish an evaluation framework for measuring SDGs progress at the county level in Tibet from 2015 to 2022. Then Spearman correlation analysis was applied to explore the complex relationships among the SDGs. The results indicated that Tibet's sustainable development level showed a gradual upward trend overall from 2015 to 2022, while the scores were still low, with an average SDG score of 35.48 in 2022. The gap between SDG indicators was large, except SDG 13.2.2 (Carbon dioxide emissions), SDG 6.3.1 (Per capita annual quantity of waste-water discharged), and SDG 11.6.2 (Annual mean concentration of PM<sub>2.5</sub>), the rest of SDG indicators scored low. Counties with lower scores were primarily concentrated in the Qiangtang Plateau. In conjunction with the Moran's <em>I</em>, the spatial correlation among different counties weakened over time. The unevenness existed in sustainable development, and there were obvious differences among counties for the same SDG indicator. The interaction analysis showed that there were 23 synergies and 18 trade-offs among the 67 pairs of SDG indicators. From 2015 to 2022, the number of synergies increased from 14 to 20, and trade-offs from 11 to 18.

At the station level, population density surrounding the station demonstrated an inverse exponential correlation with SHAP values, indicating that stations in densely populated areas are less likely to provide wheelchair-accessible exits.

We contrast three urban gradient classifications to analyze population change in 50 German metropolitan regions from 2011 to 2022. Results indicate that, at the national scale, observed trends in urban, suburban, and peri-urban areas are consistent across all classifications. For Germany, we find that urban areas have registered higher growth rates than suburban and peri-urban areas across all classifications. However, at the regional scale, observed trends partially depend on classification choices, suggesting that regional findings are particularly sensitive to the chosen classification scheme.

This study obtains several key findings. (1) A compact built environment can effectively reduce housing vacancy rates. Within certain thresholds, housing vacancy rates decline as the POI density and the building density increase. Low housing vacancy rates are observed in areas with small plot areas, high road density, and high education accessibility. (2) Among the five dimensions of the built environment, the density dimension plays the most significant role in reducing housing vacancy rates, followed by the design dimension. Moreover, the effects of built environment factors on housing vacancy are nonlinear and exhibit clear threshold effects, thereby suggesting that urban planning and design should account for reasonable threshold levels. The conclusions highlight the complex nonlinear impact of urban built environments on housing vacancy and provide empirical evidence supporting the role of compact built environments in addressing housing vacancy.

This study examines the distribution of energy welfare embedded in trade across 141 countries and regions from 2000 to 2019 by analyzing the divergence between embodied energy transfers and the economic value they generate. The results reveal that imbalances in embodied energy trade have significantly reshaped energy access. Developed economies, such as the US and the EU, benefit disproportionately through energy surpluses in trade. In contrast, emerging manufacturing countries, such as China, and resource-dependent economies, like Saudi Arabia, experience substantial embodied energy outflows. The structure of embodied value-added transfers has also undergone a major transformation, shifting from a centralized configuration to a more diversified and decentralized network. Countries such as China and Russia have emerged as dominant exporters of value-added, while the US and the UK have become major importers. These patterns reflect a global asymmetry in energy welfare, with developed economies positioned at the core of “beneficiary zones” by capturing both energy and economic gains through trade, while less developed economies are often situated in “loss zones,” contributing energy-intensive exports without proportional economic compensation. Moreover, the rise of South–South trade has further exacerbated these inequities.

Finally, our analysis demonstrates that the standard deviations of building density and building height, as well as the mean water area within each block, significantly influence UHE equity, highlighting the role of intra-urban structural heterogeneity in shaping thermal disparities.
