Abstract:

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration and Tokyo metropolitan area have similar features of diverting non-capital functions and optimizing urban spatial structures, as well as dealing with similar categories of pollution sources and pollutants in the atmospheric pollution control process. To compare Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration and Tokyo metropolitan area, this article introduces the atmospheric pollution control processes and effects in Tokyo metropolitan area, and analyzes the atmospheric pollution control policy paths in Tokyo. Based on these analyses, combining the atmospheric pollution characteristics of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, the atmospheric pollution control policy system, and problems to be solved, this research provides recommendations for atmospheric pollution control policy-making of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration from the perspectives of policy formation, policy framework, and policy implementation.

Key words: Japan metropolitan area, atmospheric pollution control, policies, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration
