“…This advantage attracts many labor forces from backward areas to seek higher wages and broader employment opportunities in big cities. The loss of labor force makes small and medium-sized cities lack important production factors (Liu et al, 2023), so the industrial development foundation is weakened, such as highend service industry and consumer industry are directly affected, and the intensity of urban expansion is limited. Although the better accessibility of cities and other cities through HSR can lead to the development of real estate and the expansion of consumer industries to a certain extent, and then lead to the expansion of urban land, this effect cannot be compared with the hindering effect of the loss of labor and capital factors caused by the advantage of HSR accessibility on urban expansion.…”

As a new means of high-speed transportation, high-speed rail(HSR) has an important impact on the scale of urban land use in Chinese cities. Exploring the impact mechanism of HSR accessibility on urban expansion is of certain significance for urban land use planning and management in the era of HSR network development. This paper constructs a national HSR network, interprets multi-dimensional accessibility from the HSR network with the help of complex network methods, and uses the mediating effect model to explore the impact mechanism of HSR accessibility on urban expansion. The results show that (1) Closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, degree, weighted degree and the number of HSR frequency stopped all promote urban expansion by stimulating investment in real estate development, total retail sales of consumer goods, employment density and the proportion of added value of the tertiary industry, and inhibit urban expansion by restraining the proportion of added value of the secondary industry. (2) When the total retail sales of consumer goods is used as the mediating variable, the promoting effect of betweenness centrality, degree, weighted degree and the number of HSR frequency stopped on urban expansion is the strongest through this mediating variable. When the proportion of added value of the tertiary industry is used as the mediating variable, the promoting effect of betweenness centrality, degree and weighted degree on urban expansion through this mediating variable is the weakest.
