Abstract

In recent years, urban network relationships based on factor linkages have received widespread attention from economic geographers. Based on the information database of industrial and commercial enterprises, this paper constructs a directional weighted network of investment in four major urban agglomerations in China - Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Chengdu-Chongqing - and describes the spatial structure and evolutionary characteristics The main conclusions of the study are as follows: During the evolution process from 2010 to 2019, the scale and density of the investment networks of the four major urban agglomerations show a certain growth trend. From the perspective of spatial pattern, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei shows a Shijiazhuang-Beijing-Tianjin From the perspective of spatial pattern, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei shows the inverted “V”-shaped structure of Shijiazhuang-Beijing-Tianjin, the Yangtze River Delta city cluster shows a multi-axis development with Shanghai as the core, the rhombus structure of Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Zhuhai-Foshan in the Pearl River Delta city cluster has been stabilized, and the Chengdu-Chongqing city cluster shows the spatial pattern of Chengdu and Chongqing with a double core and Chengdu with a single core. In terms of city level, the investment network pattern of the four major city clusters has a clear “core-edge” structure, but there is significant heterogeneity in the level differences of city nodes.
