The impact of the built environment on the carbon emissions of the urban construction land is an essential factor for the urban and rural planning. The concept and the measurement method of the carbon emissions of the urban construction land are first explained, starting from the relationship between the built environment and the carbon emissions of the urban construction land, and then the built environmental elements that affect the carbon emissions of the urban construction land are analyzed according to the density, the function and the form, the research progress is reviewed, and the research prospect is put forward. It is desirable to establish a carbon emission database for the urban construction land, to use the artificial intelligence and other new technologies, to study the spatial analysis scale connected with the spatial planning management unit, and to use the comprehensive carbon emission effect analysis method for the urban construction land under the influence of multiple factors, as well as to explore the relationship between the built environment and the carbon emission of the urban construction land.
