Exploring the Coupling of Land Development Intensity and Green Economy Development in the Pearl River Delta: Patterns, Challenges, and Strategic Pathways by Huiming Huang, Shuangyu Xu, Kailun Fang

“…The research reveals several key findings. (1) In 2013–2023, land development intensity followed a pattern of “concentration in the east and south, and sparsity in the west and north”, highlighting significant regional imbalances. (2) In 2013–2023, high-intensity development areas tended to cluster together, forming high-value zones, while low-intensity areas were often located next to similarly underdeveloped regions, reflecting a “low-value connection” trend. (3) There is a long-term stable co-integration relationship between land development intensity and green economy development. …”
