ABSTRACT

New regionalism is an important perspective to solve regional development differences and urban agglomeration issues, and also an important theory for regional coordinated development. This paper analyzes the regional integration process of the Guanzhong urban agglomeration from the perspective of new regionalism, and uses the urban gravity model and the local Moran index to quantitatively analyze the integration process at the city and county levels. The results show that: ①Xi’an (including Xianyang) and Baoji are two urban centers that drive the development of surrounding cities; ②The internal differences of the urban agglomerations are gradually reduced, the inter-regional connections are gradually strengthened, and the regional coordinated development is becoming more reasonable.
