To achieve high-quality development, transport infrastructure will play a crucial role in China's economic growth, but its damage to the ecological environment has not been paid enough attention. This study was based on panel data for 30 Chinese provinces for the period of 2004-2017. A comprehensive index system for high-quality development based on the new development concept was developed. This high-quality development index used the entropy weight method and integrated transport infrastructure, high-quality development, and industrial pollution into a comprehensive framework, and systematically examined the effects of transport infrastructure and high-quality development on industrial pollution emissions. It was found that transport infrastructure significantly contributed to industrial pollution emissions, and there was a regional heterogeneity and time lag, with high-quality development and industrial pollution having an inverted "U"-shaped relationship. Further analysis showed that transport infrastructure significantly affected high-quality development and industrial pollution through industrial agglomeration, reduced the inhibitory effect on high-quality development by promoting industrial agglomeration, and reduced industrial pollution emissions by promoting industrial agglomeration.
为实现高质量发展，交通基础设施将在中国经济增长中发挥关键作用，但对其生态环境破坏的关注还不够。本研究基于 2004-2017 年中国 30 个省份的面板数据，构建了基于新发展理念的高质量发展综合指标体系。该高质量发展指数采用熵权法，将交通基础设施、高质量发展和工业污染纳入一个综合框架，系统考察了交通基础设施和高质量发展对工业污染排放的影响。研究结果表明，交通基础设施对工业污染排放有显著的促进作用，且存在区域异质性和时滞性，高质量发展与工业污染之间呈倒“U”型关系。进一步分析表明，交通基础设施通过产业集聚显著影响高质量发展和工业污染，促进产业集聚降低了对高质量发展的抑制作用，通过促进产业集聚减少了工业污染排放。
