ABSTRACT

This paper takes 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta from 2000 to 2022 as the research object, reveals the evolution law of the regional economic spatial pattern and proposes an integrated development strategy. This study combines spatial econometric models, geographically weighted regression analysis and multidimensional scaling analysis, and uses indicators such as economic density index, spatial association network density and centrality to evaluate regional economic characteristics. The results show that the region presents a significant "core-periphery" distribution feature, among which Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Suzhou are core cities, with economic density indexes of 376.5, 215.3, 198.7 and 186.1 respectively in 2022, while peripheral cities such as Anqing and Huaibei are less than 50. Shanghai's economic network density has increased from 0.26 in 2000 to 0.49 in 2022, and inter-city connections have been significantly enhanced, but the economic spillover effects of the core city on surrounding cities are still limited. Based on this, the study proposes to strengthen the radiation and driving role of core cities, optimize the division of labor and layout of the industrial chain, strengthen support for relatively economically backward regions and improve economic linkages among regions, thereby promoting coordinated development and high-quality integration in the Yangtze River Delta region.
