Abstract:

The paper aims to study the coupling coordination degree between population urbanization and land urbanization in the provinces and municipalities of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and put forward suggestions to promote the new urbanization strategy and high-quality development of the region in the new period. Based on relevant data of the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2008 to 2017, the paper calculated the population and land urbanization index of the provinces and municipalities in the region. Through the coupling coordination degree model, the paper empirically tested the degree of coordinated development of population urbanization and land urbanization. This method could comprehensively evaluate the level of urbanization development and the degree of coordination. The results show that: the population urbanization of the provinces and municipalities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt lagged behind the land urbanization. The level of urbanization development and the degree of coordination were significantly different among the provinces and municipalities. Generally, the degree of coordinated development was increasing year by year and the growth rate was slowing down. The performance of urbanization projects was obvious, but the contradictions still need to be resolved. In order to promote the coordinated development of population and land urbanization, we should take population urbanization as the core, flexibly adjust land policies, improve urban planning, and give play to the role of urban circles.

Key words: the Yangtze River Economic Belt, coordinated development degree, entropy method, population urbanization, land urbanization
