Dynamic Strategic Driving Model Construction: Systematic Pathway and Shaoxing Empirical Study on Low-Carbon Transportation Transition in Chinese Large Cities

Under the dual drive of the “dual carbon” goals and Chinese-style modernization, low-carbon transportation transition in megacities has become a key carrier for coordinating economic growth, social equity, and ecological governance. Taking Shaoxing, a node city in the Yangtze River Delta, as an empirical case, this paper innovatively proposes a “dynamic strategic driving model” to deconstruct the systematic implementation pathway of low-carbon transportation from five dimensions: top-level design synergy, technology response diffusion, infrastructure flexible support, policy-market optimization, and public behavior guidance. Research shows that institutional innovation is the core engine; Shaoxing has built a “carbon efficiency code” hierarchical governance system, linked with green finance, achieving an average annual reduction rate of transportation carbon intensity of 3.5%. Spatial reconstruction lays the low-carbon foundation; through the “three-network integration” (rail + bus + slow traffic) led by rail transit, private car travel is reduced by 35%, shaping a 15-minute low-carbon living circle. Technology empowerment enhances operational efficiency; integrated technologies such as BIM construction optimization, photovoltaic stations, and regenerative braking reduce rail transit unit energy consumption by 22%. Government-enterprise-public collaboration ensures sustainability; carbon account point exchange, special bond financing, and public “golden ideas” mechanisms form a multi-governance pattern. The Shaoxing experience demonstrates that modular toolkits (such as open-source carbon efficiency code systems) and the industry-transportation-energy synergy paradigm can provide megacities with transformation solutions that balance emission reduction effectiveness and economic feasibility, advancing the low-carbon process of regional transportation in Chinese-style modernization.
