Measurement and spatiotemporal pattern of new quality productive forces level in Chinese cities
New quality productive forces are advanced productive forces under the background of new scientific and technological revolution,which meet the requirements of high-quality development.Understanding its connotation and current situation is crucial to accelerating the formation of new quality productive forces and promoting Chinese style modernization.Based on the connotation and practical requirements of the new quality productive forces,this study used the WSR(Wuli-Shili-Renli)system methodology for reference,constructed the evaluation indicator system of the new quality productive forces,and explored the development process and spatiotemporal differentiation characteristics of the new quality productive forces in Chinese cities from 2008 to 2021.The results show that the level of new quality productive forces in China and its four regions presents a significant upward trend,and the intraregional differences are declining.There is a spatial heterogeneity in the level of urban new quality productive forces in China,showing a distribution pattern of"high in the east,medium in the central part,and low in the west and northeast".There are significant differences in the level of urban new quality productive forces at different administrative levels,different population sizes,and different levels of per capita GDP.The level of urban new quality productive forces in China has the characteristics of spatial agglomeration,the local spatial relationships vary little,and the stable hotspots are distributed in Beijing,Shanghai,and Guangzhou.The level of independent innovation and human resources in the eastern and central regions is higher than that in the western and northeastern regions,while the development of digital technologies and emerging industries is significantly better in the eastern region than in other regions.By examining the change in the spatial and temporal patterns of China's urban new quality productive forces level,we hope to provide a decision-making reference for optimizing layout and accelerating development of the new quality productive forces.
