A Comparative Study of Financial Agglomeration and Industrial Agglomeration in China's Ten Largest Urban Agglomerations

The coordinated development of financial agglomeration and industrial agglomeration provides significant and theoretical value for promoting regional economic construction and urbanization processes. In this study,we analyze China's ten largest urban agglomerations as the research object,looking at the construction of the level evaluation index system and the division standard of coordinated development of financial agglomeration and industrial agglomeration. Next we apply the entropy method,agglomeration capacity rating model,and coupling coordination degree model to measure the financial agglomeration capacity,industrial agglomeration capacity,and coupling coordination degree of China's ten largest urban agglomerations and their cities.At the same time,we use ArcGIS software to show their coordinated development in space. The results show that the spatial pattern of “low in the middle,high around” appears in the coupling co scheduling of China's ten largest urban agglomerations,and the higher the level of economic development is,the higher the coupling co scheduling is. There are great differences in the coupling and coordination degrees between urban agglomerations and specific cities in urban agglomerations. Even for urban agglomerations with agglomeration effect,the internal cities generally show “leadership follow-up” development,which is specifically reflected in the developed cities driving the less developed areas to achieve high-quality economic growth. The coordinated development of cities included in urban agglomeration is not synchronous. The role of financial agglomeration effect and industrial agglomeration effect in different cities is not consistent. The larger the proportion of the secondary industry is,the more obvious the industrial agglomeration effect is.
