Tight spaces, strong cities: The resilience payoff of urban compactness
This study investigates the critical role of urban compactness in enhancing economic resilience, a topic of growing importance in light of increasing urbanization and external shocks. Using data from Chinese cities spanning 2010–2020 the study develops an urban compactness index based on fractal geometry and nighttime light data. Panel analysis results reveal a significant positive impact of compactness on economic resilience. Robustness checks focusing on sample issues and endogeneity confirm the core finding. Moreover, the impact of compactness is driven by industrial agglomeration, improved land use efficiency, and reduced public fiscal burden. The effect varies by city size and economic development level, with less developed cities benefiting more from compact planning. This study enhances the understanding of how spatial form influences urban resilience and provides policy recommendations for strengthening resilience through compact urban development strategies.
期刊介绍:
Land Use Policy is an international and interdisciplinary journal concerned with the social, economic, political, legal, physical and planning aspects of urban and rural land use.
Land Use Policy examines issues in geography, agriculture, forestry, irrigation, environmental conservation, housing, urban development and transport in both developed and developing countries through major refereed articles and shorter viewpoint pieces.
