Identifying and evaluating coastal cities with the potential to become marine center cities is of practical signif-icance for promoting the high-quality development of coastal urban agglomerations and the implementation of the maritime power strategy.This paper reviews the concept definition,func-tional characteristics,and evaluation methods of marine center city through the comparison of domestic and international re-search.It constructs Chinese urban marine industry financing network based on the geographical locations of cities where ma-rine-related enterprises and investment institutions involved in investment and financing are located,with marine industry fi-nancing as the link.By using degree centrality indicators,the paper identifies and evaluates Chinese marine center cities,and finds that Shanghai,Shenzhen,Qingdao,Guangzhou,and Tian-jin all have the potential to become marine center cities.Shang-hai possesses advantages in both the investment and financing development of the maritime industry,while Shenzhen has rela-tively lower financing demands in the maritime industry,and other cities including Tianjin exhibit weaker capabilities in mari-time industry investment.Furthermore,this paper takes Shang-hai,Shenzhen and Tianjin as the concrete research objects,and puts forward the strategic suggestions on the construction of ma-rine center cities from the perspectives of marine finance,marine science and technology,and marine industry chain.
