Natural disasters, new urbanization, and urban renewal activities generated a large amount of construction and demolition waste (C&DW), and managing C&DW has become an urgent problem to be solved in the construction of “Zero-waste cities.” Based on the calculation of C&DW generation in China from 2005 to 2019, this study explored spatial heterogeneity and factors influencing C&DW in China by Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) method. The results showed that C&DW generation in China increased every year, and the overall distribution was characterized as “high in the east and low in the west,” with distinct regional differences. The generation intensity of C&DW in China showed a decreasing trend every year. The regions with rapid growth of C&DW generation were concentrated in the eastern coastal areas, and there was significant spatial heterogeneity in the growth trend. There is a significant spatial autocorrelation in C&DW generation in China. The factors of population size, per capita gross domestic product, and the scale of the construction industry played a positive role in promoting C&DW generation in each province, whereas labor efficiency played a negative role inhibiting C&DW generation, which has a significant temporal and spatial heterogeneity. The results extend C&DW management theory and help the policy maker to formulate regional differentiation policies as China and developing country.
