Abstract
In the context of global restructuring of manufacturing spatial layout, studying the temporal and spatial characteristics of manufacturing transfer at the urban scale is of great significance for optimizing urban industrial layout. Based on the data from China Urban Statistical Yearbook, this study adopts geographic information analysis models such as the Industrial Transfer Undertaking Index and GIS spatial autocorrelation analysis to study the spatial characteristics of manufacturing transfer undertaken by cities in central China. The study shows that: (1) The hot cities in the central region that undertake manufacturing transfer were mainly in Henan Province from 2011 to 2014, and in the surrounding areas centered around Wuhu and Tongling in Anhui Province and Jingmen and Shiyan in Hubei Province from 2015 to 2019. (2) The number of cities with basic manufacturing functions in the central region has increased, and the impact of manufacturing transfer on the level of manufacturing specialization reflects a two-way driving effect of increasing and decreasing; (3) The manufacturing scale of some major cities in the central region is insufficient, and the position of manufacturing center cities needs to be consolidated and strengthened.
