This paper conducts an analytical study on the urban-rural coordinated development (URCD) in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration (YRDUA), and uses data from 2000–2015 of 27 central cities to study the spatial and temporal evolution patterns of URCD and to discover the influencing factors and driving forces behind it through PCA, ESDA and spatial regression models. It reveals that URCD of the YRDUA shows an obvious club convergence phenomenon during the research duration. The regions with high-level URCD gather mainly in the central part of the urban agglomeration, while the remaining regions mostly have low-level URCD, reflecting the regional aggregation phenomenon of spatial divergence. At the same time, we split URCD into efficiency and equity: urban-rural efficient development (URED) also exhibits similar spatiotemporal evolution patterns, but the patterns of urban-rural balanced development (URBD) show some variability. Finally, by analyzing the driving forces in major years during 2000–2015, it can be concluded that: (i) In recent years, influencing factors such as government financial input and consumption no longer play the main driving role. (ii) Influencing factors such as industrialization degree, fixed asset investment and foreign investment even limit URCD in some years. The above results also show that the government should redesign at the system level to give full play to the contributing factors depending on the actual state of development in different regions and promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. The results of this study show that the idea of measuring URCD from two dimensions of efficiency and equity is practical and feasible, and the spatial econometric model can reveal the spatial distribution heterogeneity and time evolution characteristics of regional development, which can provide useful insights for urban-rural integration development of other countries and regions.

The Development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) is not only a major regional coordination development strategy in China but also a core carrier supporting China’s innovation-driven development. Under this background, this paper explored the evolution, spatial difference, and coordination development of the regional innovation system in the period of 2007 to 2017 from the demand and supply perspective. We found that, during the study period, the development level of the innovation demand subsystem (IDS) and innovation supply subsystem (ISS), as well as their coordinated development, all showed an increasing trend. The development gap of IDS and the coordinated development among cities in YREB was quite balanced, while there existed a large gap among cities in YREB in the development of ISS. The development of IDS was better than the development of ISS in most of the cities of YREB, indicating that the innovation development of cities in YREB needs supply-side structural reform urgently. Most cities in YREB were at the moderately or slightly uncoordinated development phase, and Shanghai was the only city with coordinated development between IDS and ISS. This paper enriches the regional innovation system from a new perspective, the demand and supply perspective, as well as providing suggestions for the coordinated development of the regional innovation system in YREB.

Currently, there are opposing views on the issue of whether financial support plays a role in improving the human settlement. This article is dedicated to exploring the mutual influence of financial support and the improvement of human settlements from the perspective of coupling effects, and determining the characteristics of coupling and coordination to promote the sustainable development of China and developing countries. This paper uses the entropy method and the coupling coordination model to estimate the coupling and coordination types of financial support and human settlements in seven provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River from 2005 to 2018. In addition, the spatial autocorrelation model is adopted to determine the spatial agglomeration characteristics of the coupling and coordination of financial support and human settlements. All in all, this paper believes that financial support has improved the human settlements, and that there is a coupling effect. Specifically, the coupling coordination value of financial support and human settlements fluctuated from 0.034 to 0.436, showing an inverted U-shaped development trend as a whole. In addition, the correlation between financial support and the improvement of the human settlements is currently in the stage of barely balanced development, and there is a gap between benign and coordinated development. Secondly, the coupling and coordination between financial support and human settlements has significant spatial agglomeration characteristics, and the coupling effect in the eastern region is weaker than that in the western region. In particular, Jiangxi was mainly distributed as high to high agglomeration, and Jiangsu was mainly distributed as high to low agglomeration. It has formed a coupling and coordinated development area with Jiangsu-Jiangxi as the axis, radiating the development of adjacent areas. This research reveals the heterogeneity of financial support to the improvement of human settlements in different regions, portrays the coupling characteristics of financial support and the improvement of human settlements, and provides ideas for the coordinated development of the two.
