“…Thirdly, while prior research such as that of Sun et al [76] and Wang et al [77] has predominantly focused on resource coordination within urban systems, this article has highlighted the significant interdependent relationship between port and city, adopting the YRD port and city clusters and creatively putting PEE and HED into the coupled coordination framework as two subsystems to explore their interaction and analyze them comparatively. The results show that the CCD is on the rise (Figure 4), with a regional imbalance (Figures 6 and 7).…”

Green development is a primary path for ports and cities to achieve a low-carbon transition under the Sustainable Development Goals and a powerful driving force to elevate regional port–city relations to a high level of coordination. In this paper, twenty port cities in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) were selected and port environmental efficiency (PEE) was calculated through the window SBM model, while the EW-TOPSIS model was used to evaluate high-quality urban economic development (HED). The coupling coordination degree (CCD) model, the kernel density model, GIS spatial analysis, and the grey prediction model were used to further explore the spatial–temporal dynamic evolution and prediction of the CCD between PEE and HED. The results suggested that: (1) PEE fluctuation in the YRD is increasing, with a trend of seaports achieving higher PEE than river ports; (2) HED in the YRD shows upward trends, and the polarization of individual cities is obvious; (3) Temporally, the CCD in the YRD has risen from 0.438 to 0.518. Shanghai consistently maintains intermediate coordination, and Jiangsu has experienced the most significant increase in CCD. Spatially, CCD is led by Lianyungang, Suzhou, Shanghai, and Ningbo-Zhoushan, displaying a decreasing distribution pattern from east to west. The projection for 2026 suggests that all port cities within the YRD will have transitioned to a phase of orderly development. To enhance the coordination level in the YRD, policymakers should consider the YRD as a whole to position the ports functionally and manage them hierarchically, utilize the ports to break down resource boundaries to promote the synergistic division of labor among cities, and then tilt the resources towards Anhui.

“…At the macro level, it is essential for the core cities of Chengdu and Chongqing to intensify their efforts in ecological resource management, environmental protection, and enhancing the well-being of their residents. This proactive approach will significantly augment the radiation-driven capacity of these two cities 67 – 69 . Then, given the shift from lagging urbanization to lagging ecological and environmental welfare performance within the Chengdu–Chongqing Economic Circle, it is imperative for government authorities and administrators to recognize that hasty urbanization has led to detrimental effects such as surface vegetation depletion, environmental pollution, and disruption of ecosystem equilibrium 70 – 72 .…”

New urbanization (NU) and ecological welfare performance (EWP) play pivotal roles in achieving sustainable urban development, with both emphasizing social equity and environmental management. Exploring the coordinated relationship between EWP and NU is invaluable for understanding the symbiotic interplay between humans and nature. We constructed a framework to elucidate the coupling mechanism of EWP and NU from the perspective of systems theory. We quantified the levels of NU and EWP utilizing the entropy weighting method and the super-efficient SBM method, respectively. Furthermore, we assessed the degree of coupling coordination between the two using the coupling coordination degree model (CCDM). Spatial and temporal evolution analysis was conducted, and factors influencing the degree of coupling coordination between EWP and NU were explored through a spatial–temporal geographically-weighted regression model (GTWR). The results indicate: (1) During the study period, the average annual increase in EWP in the study area was 2.59%, with a narrowing relative gap between cities. Conversely, the average annual increase in the level of NU was 7.6%, with demographic and economic dimensions carrying the highest weights. (2) The type of coupling coordination between EWP and NU transitions from basic coordination to moderate coordination, with the development of EWP lagging behind that of NU. (3) City size demonstrates a positive yet diminishing trend on the coupling coordination level, with economic development exerting the greatest influence and exhibiting a "V" trend, while the impact of green technology innovation diminishes negatively. Additionally, regional disparities are significant, with city size exhibiting a negative impact in areas of high population density and low economic levels, and green technology innovation showing notable polarization characteristics in core cities. These findings serve as a foundation for fostering coordinated ecological development amid the rapid urbanization process of the Chengdu–Chongqing Economic Circle.

“…He believes that there is still significant room for improvement in the overall high-quality coordination. Wang et al [12] studied the impact of new urbanization on ecological resilience to address ecological risks, further exploring sustainable development and sharing socio-economic pathways, and it is not difficult to see the importance of ecological resilience.…”

Ecological environment restoration has become an important strategy for the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and green finance is indispensable to supporting industrial transformation and green innovation. It is of great importance to clarify the internal relationship between green finance and ecological resilience construction. This paper introduces the concept of resilience into the field of ecological construction and constructs an ecological resilience index system from three dimensions of “resistance-adaptability-resilience”. On this basis, it focuses on the different aspects of green finance, such as green credit, green securities, green investment, green insurance, etc., and examines the role of green financial development on the ecological resilience of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The results of the study showed that (1) during the study period, the overall ecological resilience level of the Yangtze River Economic Belt improved significantly and there were significant differences in the ecological resilience of the economic belts but such spatial differences are converging; (2) green insurance has a significant positive influence on ecological resilience, while green credit, green securities, and green investment have a significant negative influence on ecological resilience; (3) green credit and green securities have a significant positive effect on the resistance to ecological resilience, green credit and green investment inhibit the adaptability of ecological resilience, and green insurance significantly improves the resilience of ecological resilience. Green financial policies should be further optimized, and innovative all-round and multi-level products and services should be provided. It is necessary to leverage social capital to promote green transformation and technological innovation in high-pollution industries. By combining resource endowment and location advantages, we can explore the benign interaction between green finance and ecological civilization construction.
