The flow of urban and rural factors helps to narrow the urban-rural gap and promote integrated urban-rural development.Based on the perspective of "flow space",an evaluation index system for the level of urban-rural inte-gration development in North Anhui was constructed.Using statistical data from 2012 to 2021,a model was construc-ted and Arcgis software was used to analyze the spatial pattern of urban-rural integration development in North An-hui.The results showed that the level of urban-rural integration in North Anhui has steadily improved,but the overall level of population,spatial,social,and financial integration is relatively low;the level of urban-rural integration de-velopment shows significant positive correlation clustering in space and time,and the level of urban-rural integration development in various cities is developing towards a more balanced direction.To promote the integrated develop-ment of urban and rural areas in North Anhui,specific development paths have been proposed from the aspects of talent interaction,reducing urban-rural income gap,promoting equalization of urban and rural public services,and urban-rural spatial integration.
