中国の約2億棟の建物データを用い、建物スケールの機能混合度とCO2排出量の関係を分析。混合度が中程度（0.14-0.72）の場合に排出削減効果が最大となり、過度な混合は効果が頭打ちになることを発見。国際都市でも同様のパターンを確認し、都市計画への示唆を与える。
English
Using a dataset of about 200 million buildings in China, this study analyzes the relationship between building-scale functional mixing and CO2 emissions. It finds that moderate mixing (index 0.14-0.72) yields maximum emission reductions, while excessive mixing yields diminishing returns. The pattern holds across 31 international cities, offering actionable insights for urban planners.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の都市計画（コンパクトシティ、混合利用推進）に対して、建物スケールでの最適な混合度の存在を示唆。過度な混合より低混合地域の改善が効果的という知見は、SSBJや自治体の脱炭素計画に活用できる。
In the global GX context
This paper adds nuance to the global discourse on mixed-use development and decarbonization, showing empirically that more mixing is not always better. The identified optimal mixing range (0.14-0.72) provides a quantitative target for urban planners and aligns with ISSB's emphasis on evidence-based climate action.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a scalable methodology and empirical thresholds for building-scale urban form-emissions analysis.
🏢実務担当者:Planners and developers can use the mixing index range (0.14-0.72) to prioritize low-mixing areas for retrofitting.
🏛政策担当者:Urban policymakers should consider building-scale mixing targets rather than blanket mixed-use mandates for decarbonization.
📄 Abstract（原文）
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Mixed-use development is promoted for urban decarbonization, but conventional metrics cannot resolve the building-level functions shaping energy use and travel. We develop a nationwide functional atlas of approximately 200 million buildings in China by integrating sub-meter imagery, semantic information and vector data. ODIAC-derived emissions reveal that neighborhood18 scale mixing is associated with steadily lower emissions, whereas building-scale mixing shows a three-stage relationship. At low levels, scattered functions may raise emissions; at moderate levels (0.14–20 0.72), increasing mixing reduces emissions; beyond this range, benefits level off or reverse. Shifting under-mixed areas into the moderate range could conservatively mitigate about 100 Mt C yr−1. Analysis of 31 international cities reveals a similar pattern, although transition points vary. Thus, more mixing is not always better: planners should prioritize low-mixing areas, avoid excessive mixing where benefits have saturated, and adopt locally tailored building-scale targets.</p>
