Equilibrium of population and economic development in the top ten urban agglomerations in China

doi:10.7523/j.issn.2095-6134.2010.2.002

Abstract

Abstract:

For the top ten urban agglomerations in China including Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, we calculated urban economic Gini indices and urban scale Gini indices, and judged the equilibrium of population and economic development after evaluation of Gini quotient indices. The results suggest that the degree of economic concentration of ten urban agglomerations is greater than the degree of population concentration. Secondly, the equilibria of population and economic development in top ten urban agglomerations are significantly different. Finally, regional differentiation features of the equilibrium of population and economic development in ten urban agglomerations are not obvious. In the following aspects, such as location factors, urban economy development, urbanization, urbanization approach, the population movement, management system and so on, we analyze the influencing factors.

Key words: urban agglomeration, equilibrium, Gini index, regional difference
