Based on the remotely sensed data of 150 cities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei agglomeration in China from 2000 to 2015, we studied the effects of urban form on fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations from multiple perspectives. The panel models show that the elastic coefficients of aggregation index and fractal dimension are the highest among all factors for the whole region. Population density, aggregation index, and fractal dimension have stronger influences on air pollution in small cities, while area size demonstrates the opposite effect. Population density has a stronger impact on medium\/high-elevation cities, while night light intensity (NLI), fractal dimension, and area size show the opposite effect. Low road network density can enlarge the influence magnitude of NLI and population density. The results of the linear regression model with multiplicative interactions provide evidence of interactions between population density and NLI or aggregation index. The slope of the line that captures the relationship between NLI on PM2.5 is positive at low levels of population density, flat at medium levels of population density, and negative at high levels of population density. The study results also show that when increasing the population density, the air pollution in a city with low economic and low morphological aggregation degrees will be impacted more greatly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12111793","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,3]],"date-time":"2020-06-03T04:12:09Z","timestamp":1591157529000},"page":"1793","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["The Context-Dependent Effect of Urban Form on Air Pollution: A Panel Data Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5875-5009","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ze","family":"Liang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Earth Surface Processes of the Ministry of Education, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Feili","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Earth Surface Processes of the Ministry of Education, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8488-2191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yueyao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Earth Surface Processes of the Ministry of Education, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiao","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Earth Surface Processes of the Ministry of Education, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Urban Planning and Design, Shenzhen Graduate School, Peking University, Shenzhen 518055, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fuyue","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Earth Surface Processes of the Ministry of Education, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuangcheng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Earth Surface Processes of the Ministry of Education, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1041","article-title":"WHO\u2019s Top Health Threats for 2019","volume":"321","author":"Friedrich","year":"2019","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Nations, U.
