Optimizing territorial space utilization is crucial for sustainable development. This study reveals that in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration, urban spatial utilization efficiency lags behind rural areas, with a new model better capturing regional development correlations.
Area of Science:
- Urban and Regional Planning
- Sustainable Development Studies
- Spatial Economics
Background:
- Global urbanization necessitates understanding territorial space utilization efficiency for balanced urban-rural development.
- City clusters are key to future urban development, requiring analysis of spatial utilization patterns.
- Existing models may not fully capture the complex interactions in territorial space utilization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore urban and rural space utilization efficiency (URSUE) in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration (CCEC).
- To analyze URSUE using the coupling coordination degree (CCD) perspective.
- To introduce and apply a Local and Tele-coupling coordination (LTCCD) model accounting for remote interactions.
Main Methods:
- Comparative analysis of urban and rural spatial utilization efficiency.
- Application of the coupling coordination degree (CCD) model.
- Development and implementation of the Local and Tele-coupling coordination (LTCCD) model to assess interactive development.
Main Results:
- Economically developed cities in CCEC show urban spatial utilization efficiency lagging behind rural areas.
- The LTCCD model indicates higher coordination in the geographic center regions.
- Economic core cities exhibit higher LTCCD compared to their CCD, particularly Chengdu City, highlighting spatial spillover effects.
Conclusions:
- The LTCCD model provides a more comprehensive assessment of territorial space utilization by considering regional development correlations and spatial spillovers.
- Findings offer insights into urban-rural spatial allocation challenges within urban agglomerations.
- The study provides guidance for territorial space utilization planning in urban agglomerations aiming for sustainable development.
