Recently, Ma Mengyue at the College of Overseas Education, Chengdu University has published a journal article as the first/corresponding author in a top international journal, with Chengdu University as the first affiliation. This paper is entitled "The Impacts of City Size and Density on CO2 Emissions: Evidence from the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration" and published in Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy (Grade 4 by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, JCR Q3, IF: 2.318).

The study has analyzed the relation between the city size and the carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission, making a contribution to the current body of knowledge regarding the relationship between urban form and CO₂ emission. It could help the city's governors and decision makers to take the right moves when planning out the urban form and provide strong scientific support for CO₂ emission reduction policies. In addition, it has proposed new thoughts on actions to cope with climate change and facilitate sustainable growth from the perspective of the urban form management.
