This article uses 368 cities from 2004 to 2019 as samples to study the impact of government leadership on the spatial distribution of urban size from the perspective of economic growth target pressure. The results indicate that the pressure of economic growth targets will lead to a centralized distribution of urban scale, and government leadership has strengthened the "Matthew effect" of urban scale growth. The pressure of economic growth will promote population concentration in inland and peripheral cities. Cities with good transportation infrastructure, low housing prices, and underdeveloped economies will be significantly affected by economic growth pressures. The large-scale construction of transportation infrastructure, excessive concentration of resources, and homogenization of employment structure adjustment are the main mechanisms for accelerating population concentration and distribution. Marketization will weaken the pressure of economic growth and the spatial distribution effect of polarized population. To this end, policy recommendations for the transition from urban competition to coordinated development are proposed from the perspective of organic integration between the government and the market.
