Abstract: While development zones are the main locations of the urban industrial economy and sources of energy consumption, studies on the interactive relationship between mixed land use and CO 2 emissions in these zones have not attracted much attention. In this paper, the development zone is selected as the research object, and a honeycomb grid with a side length of 50 meters is used as the unit to measure multiple dimensions of mixed land use. The efficiency and intensity of CO 2 emissions are estimated for these units, and the coupling model is used to analyse the interactive relationship between these two factors. The results show that (1) the mixed land use degree of different types of development zones differs; the bonded zone has the highest degree, while the economic and technological development zone and the high-tech development zone have higher degrees than the industrial development zones. (2) The CO 2 emissions capacities of economic and technological development zones and high-tech development zones are better than those of industrial development zones and bonded areas. (3) There is a strong interaction between the mixing degree of land use and the intensity of CO 2 emissions; the relationship between the two may be diverse and complex in different development zones. (4) The coordinated development level between mixed land use and CO 2 emissions in economic and technological development zones and bonded areas is better than that in high-tech development zones, which in turn is better than that in industrial development zones. Based on existing measurements of mixed land use, the index of land use intensity is introduced in this paper and the land use classification in development zones is refined to supplement the land use compatibility matrix. The results of this study have implications for the development zone to enhance mixed land use and low-carbon development.
