Unbalanced regional development is widespread, and the imbalance of regional development in developing countries with rapid urbanization is increasingly apparent. This threatens the sustainable development of the region. Promoting the coordinated development of the region has become a hot spot of scientific research and a major practical need. Taking 99 counties of Jiangsu Province China, a typical coastal plain region, as the basic research unit, this paper explores the unbalanced development characteristics of the regional urban spatial form using three indicators: urban spatial expansion size, development intensity, and distribution aggregation degree. Then, their driving mechanisms were evaluated using spatial autocorrelation analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, linear regression, and geographically weighted regression. Our results found that the areas with larger urban spatial expansion size and development intensity were mainly concentrated in southern Jiangsu, where there was a positive spatial correlation between them. We found no agglomeration phenomenon in urban spatial distribution aggregation degree. From the perspective of driving factors: economics was the main driving factor of urban spatial expansion size; urbanization level and urbanization quality were the main driving factors of urban spatial development intensity. Natural landform and urbanization level are the main driving factors of urban spatial distribution aggregation degree. Finally, we discussed the optimization strategy of regional coordinated development. The quality of urbanization development and regional integration should be promoted in Southern Jiangsu. The level of urbanization development should be improved relying on rapid transportation to develop along the axis in central Jiangsu. The economic size should be increased, focusing on the expansion of the urban agglomeration in northern Jiangsu. This study will enrich the perspective of research on the characteristics and mechanisms of regional urban spatial imbalance, and helps to optimize and regulate the imbalance of regional urban development from multiple perspectives.

This article addresses urbanists in various fields—history, the social sciences, planning, and more—who are interested in incorporating literary works into their teaching and research and may be looking for critical approaches that connect such work to their own expertise. It begins from the premise that the traits that make a city a city present writers with opportunities to tell stories, experiment with form, make meaning, and otherwise exercise the literary imagination. When we use “urban literature” as a category of analysis, when we try to identify relationships between cities and the writing produced in and about them, we are asserting that this writing takes shape around confronting the city as a formal, social, and conceptual challenge. This article explores examples of texts ranging from Sister Carrie to I Am Legend and beyond that engage signature urban processes such as urbanization, development, and the dense overlap of orders.

The rapid urbanization development has helped China's economy to rise sharply, and it has also plunged the countryside into a development dilemma. Based on a questionnaire survey of 25 industry experts, this paper uses SWOT-AHP analysis to study the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and threats of rural development, and finally determines the development strategy of rural China. Put forward three suggestions on rural development in China, that is, grasp the national strategic opportunity to develop modern agriculture, upgrade the level of rural human capital and cultivate the concept of ecological civilization.

Urbanization is an inevitable path of economic and social development.It refers to the process which includes population aggregation to the city, expansion of urban scale and a series of economic and social change resulted from above. According to the general law of urbanization development, Anhui has entered the acceleration stage of urbanization. This paper attempts to analysis the situation of Anhui province in a comprehensive and system perspective, put forward empirical analysis of the situation, problems and the main constraints of urbanization of Anhui province, and then proposes the ways to speed up urbanization of Anhui province: powerfully develop the economy, strengthen the power base of urbanization; deepen reform of the system and promote the system innovation; adjust the industrial structure, vigorously develop the tertiary sector.

With the acceleration of urbanization, regional ecological security issues have become increasingly prominent. There is a complex relationship between urbanization and urban ecological security. This paper uses the method of system analysis to qualitatively describe the coupling relationship between urbanization system and urban regional ecological security system, and quantitatively evaluate the coupling and coordination relationship between these two systems. The results show that the spatial urbanization subsystem is the most driven to the urbanization system, and the ecological security response system is an important factor to maintain and enhance the urban ecological security. Therefore, the spatial urbanization subsystem and the ecological security response subsystem have the greatest influence on the coupled system between urbanization and urban ecological security. Taking Shaanxi Province as an example, it is analyzed that the coordination degree between Shaanxi's urbanization system and regional ecological security system is increasing from 2005 to 2016, and has experienced four stages : uncoordinated recession, low coordination, moderate coordination and high coordination. The coordination degree between urbanization development and urban ecological security has been continuously improved, indicating that urbanization development has a positive role in promoting urban ecological security.
