Abstract

Urban spatial scale and structural adjustment can reduce comprehensive energy consumption in cities. Adjusting land use and transportation structure between workplace and residence can direct the migration of industrial and commercial enterprises and associated residents, forming a new urban structure that will improve the efficiency of commuting, reduce delays, relieve congestion, and cut energy consumption.
