Abstract:

The Central Plains Urban Agglomeration is located in the core area of China's inland, with a significant advantage in industrial agglomeration, and the region is also one of the key areas for national new urbanization development. How to achieve "industry-promoting-city, city-promoting-industry" has become an important issue for the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration. Firstly, the study focuses on 29 prefecture-level cities within the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration to develop an integrated evaluation system for the coupling coordination between industrial clustering and urbanization.Based on the panel data of various cities from 2001 to 2022, the entropy method is used to evaluate the comprehensive development level of industrial agglomeration and new urbanization. Secondly, a model assessing the coupling coordination degree has been implemented to analyze the chronological and spatial progression of the alignment between industrial concentration and urban development within the 29 cities of the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration, spanning the period from 2001 to 2022.Finally, an impediment analysis model is applied to identify the factors hindering the integrated development of industrial and urban linkages. The results show: 1) Throughout the research timeframe, the overall level of industrial agglomeration and new urbanization in the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration has been developing positively, with significant differences in the development levels of industrial agglomeration and new urbanization across different provinces; 2) In terms of temporal differentiation, the coupling coordination degree has generally evolved from "mild disharmony" to "primary coordination", with Zhengzhou and Luoyang consistently leading in terms of city-level coupling coordination values; 3) In terms of spatial differentiation, the distribution of coupling coordination degrees is prominent, showing a pattern of "higher in the west and lower in the east, higher in the north and lower in the south"; 4) The factors hindering the overall level of industrial agglomeration and new urbanization coupling coordination in the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration have significant differences at different times. In terms of industrial agglomeration, industrial density and industrial structure have always constrained the coordinated development of industry and city coupling. In terms of new urbanization, except in 2001, spatial urbanization has always been an important factor restricting the improvement of the level of industry-city coupling coordination. The study's outcomes are capable of furnishing theoretical backing for the optimal use of resources and the promotion of sustainable, robust economic growth within the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration.Based on the research, strategies and recommendations are put forth to foster the harmonious advancement of the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration:it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions, comprehensively enhance overall strength, deeply explore potential and strengthen regional competitive advantages, while leading with central cities, driving the surrounding areas, promoting industrial upgrading and transformation, optimizing urban layout, and expanding development space.
