Coupling analysis of multi-systems urbanization: Evidence from China by Junqiang Luo, Weijing Ma, Shuang An, Zining Zhang, Yanchuan Fu, Hejun Huang, Genying Chang

“…Highly coordinated cities are primarily distributed in the core city’s radiation circles, coastal economic belts, provincial capitals in the central and western regions, and northern industrial city zones. Low-coordination cities are mainly found in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the border areas of Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Hubei, the Hetao area of the Yellow River Basin, the agricultural regions of the Huanghuaihai Plain, and the southeastern hilly and mountainous areas. (2) The degree of uneven urbanization development initially expands and then contracts, with intra-regional imbalances following the pattern: “Eastern Coastal Area > Northeast Area > Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Area > Northern Coastal Area > Middle Reaches of the Yellow River Area > Southwest Area > Southern Coastal Area > Northwest Area.” (3) The coupling and coordinated development of urbanization is closely related to the economic foundation and production energy usage. …”
