Abstract
Future high-quality urban development will follow an eco-city model, which is a prerequisite for the harmonious growth of people and the environment. Geo-graphical variations of pertinent indicators of eco-city above prefecture level in the Yangtze River Delta were examined using spatial statistics and analysis methodologies. According to the study, there are clear geographical disparities among the principal eco-city progress indicators throughout the study region. Meanwhile, there is a clear imbalance in the ecological structure. Sub indicators share further traits in common. Areas that have had rapid growth are primarily located in provincial capitals and above, and the impact of growth pole spill over is quite small. Additionally, the construction of eco-city is focused on certain geographic areas, like rivers, major cities, etc. In conclusion, growth poles that are strongly tied to the urban hierarchy and have specific locational features continue to dominate the development of eco-city. Interaction between cities, policy execution, and local government assistance are crucial for the establishment of a regional integrated development system.
