Abstract
Rapid urbanization and its interaction with economy and that with environment have been extensively studied, but the spatial relations between city’s economic growth and its environmental effects have rarely been reported. Therefore, in this study, the allometric model and long-time series nighttime lighting (NTL) data were employed to analyse the relative growth rates between economic advancing and environmental pollution. The main conclusions of our study are as follows: (1) the tendency of the TNL and that of the MTL maintain the same trend in our study period ;(2) in all levels, the relative growth of industrial pollutant emissions is faster than that of economic growth; (3) in prefectural level, the scaling exponents show obvious spatial agglomeration and spatial differentiation. The most serious air pollution was caused by economic activities in Jinan and its surrounding cities, while the water pollution is mainly distributing along Yellow River.
