The papers research object is the relationship between urbanization rate and carbon emissions, analysis it using the theory of cointegration The result is shown, there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between urbanization rate and carbon emissions in Chongqing, carbon emissions is 2.36 times the increase of urbanization rate.
