Co-agglomeration and spatial follow-up of high-tech industries in Shenzhen
Leveraging economic census data and enterprise Point of Interest(POI)data,this study conducts an in-depth examination of co-agglomeration in Shenzhen,southern China.First,we examine the characteristics of co-agglomeration between Shenzhen's high-tech manufacturing and high-tech service industries from both economic and spatial linkage dimensions.Second,a spatio-temporal analysis is conducted using the geographical detector to examine the spatial follow-up phenomenon,providing a detailed understanding of the processes and key factors underpinning the formation of co-agglomeration patterns.The findings are as follows:(1)From the perspective of economic linkage,Shenzhen's pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and high-tech service industry show a co-agglomeration relationship;(2)From the perspective of spatial linkage,pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises and high-tech service enterprises have formed a"multi-polar+multi-center"pattern,with all three case study areas surrounding leading pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises showing an enhanced trend of co-agglomeration with high-tech service industries;(3)From the perspective of the formation process,there is a spatial follow-up phenomenon of high-tech service industries to pharmaceutical manufacturing industries,meaning that the following behavior in enterprise layout promotes the co-agglomeration of high-tech industries.Specifically,the information service industry mainly follows the clustering of chemical drug and active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing,while the scientific research service industry mainly follows the clustering of medical materials and pharmaceutical product manufacturing.The spatial follow-up process provides a perspective for analyzing the spatial process of co-agglomeration formation,and the detailed spatial follow-up relationship among industries offers useful insights for policy guidance to accelerate the cultivation of high-quality industrial parks.
