“…Spatial evolution analysis can reflect the dynamic evolution process of the functional structure, urban hierarchy, and the connections formed between cities in urban agglomerations. It is a regional system covering points, lines, networks, and areas [43]. Studying the spatial evolution of urban agglomerations is conducive to clarifying the spatial structure, development context, and trend of urban agglomerations, summarizing existing problems in the development of urban agglomerations, and formulating feasible high-quality development planning [44].…”

Urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is key to the rise of central China, and an important engine for the high-quality development of the Yangtze River economic belt. Research on urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River focuses mainly on economic development, ecological environment, and innovation. Few studies focus on evaluation combining development levels. This study uses the entropy weight TOPSIS method to build an urban high-quality development level indicator system with “innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and sharing” as the indicators, comprehensively measuring the high-quality development level of 31 cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River from 2010 to 2019 and analyzing the evolution of spatial distribution and autocorrelation. The results show that the high-quality development level of the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River varies greatly, and fluctuations are significant. The spatial distribution also shows an evolution from belt-shaped agglomeration to point-shaped diffusion distribution, and the spatial autocorrelation shows a negative correlation. Finally, this paper proposes suggestions to promote high-quality development from three aspects: system coordination, industry coordination, and sustainability.

“…In the most recent period, the basic features of urban regions are subject of numerous scientific papers (Etherington & Jones, 2016, 2017Hennig, 2018;Lawton, 2018;Rus et al, 2018), since the city for a long time is not the subject of research without an surrounding area that gravitates to it (Andreasen et al, 2017;Yankson et al, 2017). In the last decades, in professional circles dealing with this issue, the focus of interest is shifting from the city to the city-region as the primary unit of analysis (Davoudi, 2008;Parr, 2005Parr, , 2008Nielsen, 2015;Agergaard & Ortenbjerg, 2017;Vasárus et al, 2018;Kristóf, 2018).…”

The subject of this paper is an evaluation of defined urban regions in Serbia, with an aim towards identifying their basic features, with special emphasis on the measurement of their functional polycentricity. These features include methods with following indicators: share of settled inhabitants to overall population number in the centre of urban region and surrounding area, according to the outcome; concentration level of employees in centres and structure of activities of active population performing an occupation, functional dependence of settlements in the area of the region and determining the functional polycentricity index of the urban region. Therefore, the goal of the paper is to clarify the difference between the urban regions that have developed in the area of Serbia, which are significant factors for further planning of polycentric and balanced regional development. The results of the survey show differences between urban regions. Almost half of the urban regions in Serbia have characteristics of monocentricity, while few polycentric urban regions differ in number of secondary centers. Certain differences between urban regions refer to the results related to share of the employees in primary centres in connection with the secondary centre region, if refers to a polycentric region, or in comparison to the region as a whole, if it implys to monocentric urban regions. All in all, primary differences between urban regions pertain to the degree of functional polycentrism.

The Nexus of Regional Integration and Household Welfare: A Case Study of the Yangtze Delta Area

Public policies of regional integration have been widely implemented recently in multiple countries as a significant approach to improving regional economic cooperation and reducing economic inequalities. In China, improving household welfare and narrowing welfare gaps become another major purpose of regional integration. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to household-level impacts of regional integration on improving welfare. This study provides empirical analysis on impacts of regional integration on household welfare by using the case of the Yangtze Delta area from 2010 to 2020. We find that overall impacts of regional integration on improving household welfare and reducing household welfare inequality are significantly positive, and such impacts reveal spatial heterogeneity. Public transport infrastructural integration and city-level migration are two major mechanisms through which such impacts can be amplified. Results remain feasible after a series of robustness tests. We believe that integration should be further implemented to eliminate poverty and boost social welfare in both developed and developing regions in China, and cross-city and interprovincial trade needs to be promoted as an important means of regional integration.
