The dispersion of urban pollutants is affected by the urban morphology parameters. The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between PM2.5 distribution and urban morphology parameters in a cold-climate city in China. Field measurements were performed to record the PM2.5 concentration and microclimate parameters at 25 points in a 10 km2 urban area in Harbin, China. It was found that the maximum difference of PM2.5 concentration among the measuring points at the same time could be up to 69.03 μg/m3. In this study, a geographic information system (GIS) was used to extract and screen the urban morphology parameter data under reasonable buffer radius, the gradient boosted regression trees model (GBRT) was used to carry out the prediction experiment of PM2.5 concentration and explore the nonlinear influence of urban morphology factors on PM2.5 concentration. In addition, random forest (RF), decision trees (DT), and multiple linear regression (MLR) models were selected to compare the prediction accuracy of the GBRT model. The results show that the GBRT model has the highest accuracy, with R2 reaching 0.981; building density (57%) and average building height (49%) were the two most significant factors affecting PM2.5 concentration.
