Abstract: In the context of low-carbon construction, reducing carbon dioxide emissions from town construction land is the key to mitigating the problems caused by global warming. The influence of spatial form on carbon emissions has been generally recognized, but its influence at the level of town construction land is less explored. Therefore, in this study, in order to investigate the relationship between the spatial form of town construction land and carbon emissions, the relationship between them was analyzed, taking Macheng town of Bengbu city as the research object, selecting spatial form elements and quantifying them, and characterizing and accounting for the carbon emissions from the town construction land by each building’s energy consumption. The study demonstrates that the spatial form elements such as building area and building storeys are important factors affecting the carbon emissions of residential land. Likewise, the building area, building shape coefficient, and floor area ratio are crucial factors impacting the carbon emissions of public lands. This research offers spatial form optimization strategies from a carbon reduction perspective by delving into the inherent relationship between spatial form and carbon emissions in town construction land. Consequently, it provides valuable scientific guidance for quantifying spatial planning and formulating carbon reduction strategies within a low-carbon framework.
