Abstract: Using population geographic data to analyze the dynamics of the central urban to explore the negative space and implement green carbon offset retrofits is beneficial for the Dual Carbon goals. We construct a grading system of urban vitality values with ArcGIS to assess the vitality of city blocks and screen out negative spaces. Taking the central urban of Anda as an example, we found that the vitality values along the main road in Anda were high. In contrast, the vitality values of residential sites in the southern and western parts were generally low. By analyzing the distribution of negative space in Anda, we finally recommend that Anda adopt the strategy of “fertile land creation” for the western part, to practice the planning of urban green space projects with joint investment of factories in the southern part, to optimize the low-carbon urban travel space, to implement the green transformation of small negative urban spaces, and to enhance the ecological construction of existing parks and green spaces. We extracted the negative urban spaces and explored the paths and implementability of the carbon offsetting renewal strategies intending to provide some reference for realizing Dual Carbon goals and transforming negative urban spaces in China.
