Evaluation and Prospection of the Function Response of China's Inland Node Cities in the High-Quality Construction of"The Belt and Road"
The proposal of the Belt and Road(B&R)initiative has played a profound impact on the opening and development of China's inland areas.In order to support the B&R,inland node cities need to make positive responses in terms of urban functions.This paper constructs the urban functional response index to evaluate the functional response,and the results shows that the functional response status has several obvious characteristics.Firstly,the overall response level is not high.Secondly,there is a clear differentiation between cities and regions.From the city perspective,among the 10 inland node cities,Chengdu and Chongqing have the strongest degree of urban functional response,followed by Wuhan,Xi'an and Zhengzhou.Xining is at the bottom.From the regional perspective,the response level in the southwest region is generally strong,while it is weak in the northwest and moderate in the central region.Thirdly,there are significant differences in the responsiveness of the five subsystems of urban functions.Standing at the new starting point of the 10th anniversary of the B&R,China's inland node cities should be more proactive.They should integrate the overall situation of global opening,reshape the regional economic development pattern in promoting the high-quality development of the B&R,and improve the function of node cities in promoting digital,green and innovative development.
