- Abstract:
- In the background of rapid urbanization and urban sprawl in China，this study aims at exploring the relationship between the urban compactness and urban efficiency of the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of Yangtze River under the perspective of compact city development.We select quantitative indicators relating to urban compactness and urban efficiency to build the comprehensive evaluation index system and analyze their relationship by comprehensive applications of the entropy method and superefficiencyDEA model on 31 cities in 2010~2014，and then explore the spatialtemporal differences between urban compactness and urban efficiency by employing quadrant map approach.The results indicated that: in the long run，there is a positive relationship between urban compactness and urban efficiency，but the two are not synchronized and coordinated.The decrease of urban compactness does not necessarily cause the rapid change of urban efficiency.There is a considerable number of cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in a lowlevel coordination state，and the urban scale has no obvious effect on the relationship between urban compactness and urban efficiency.Finally，we concludes that the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River not only needs to speed up the transformation of economic development mode，but also optimize the land use pattern and improve the livability and habitat quality of individual cities.At the same time，it also needs to promote the integration of urban agglomerations，specialization of labor and coordination of interests in urban system.
