“…The Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration has always been the focus of researchers as it is located in the capital economic circle. Ariken et al [ 14 ] combined ecosystem services and ecosystem health to assess the ecological risks of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration, and found that the ratio of artificial surface should be controlled below 70%, which undertook a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of land use planning on the ecosystem. Wang et al [ 15 ] studied the factors affecting the coordinated development of urbanization and ecological environment of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration, while Li et al [ 16 ] studied the impact of urban expansion on atmospheric humidity, exploring that the effect of urban expansion on humidity was the strongest in winter, which give scientific support for urban planning.…”

With rapid urbanization and industrialization, ecological disorders and environmental degradation have become serious, and the promotion of the coordinated development of the social economy and ecological environment is not only a pressing problem to be solved, but also an important step towards sustainable development. The coordinated development of the social economy and eco-environment is conducive to sustainable development. Considering the Chengdu–Chongqing urban agglomeration as a case study, this paper adopts panel data and establishes an index system to evaluate the coupling coordination degree (CCD) between the social economy and ecological environment based on the concept of high-quality development. From the perspective of time and space, the changing laws and characteristics of the CCD are analyzed, and the key factors affecting it are determined using regression analysis. The results show the following: (1) the CCD between the social economy and ecological environment of the Chengdu–Chongqing urban agglomeration presents a low level overall; (2) the CCD in more developed regions is significantly higher than that in less developed regions; thus, the characteristics of spatial differences are obvious; (3) the urbanization rate, ratio of actual use of foreign capital and GDP, ratio of total export-import volume and GDP, proportion of days with good air quality, and per capita public green space area are the main factors affecting the coordinated development of the social economy and ecological environment in the Chengdu–Chongqing urban agglomeration; and (4) Chongqing has obvious endogeneity. Finally, corresponding policy recommendations are provided aimed at promoting rapid economic development in the Chengdu–Chongqing urban agglomeration while focusing on environmental protection and promoting high-quality economic development with ecological environmental protection, while putting forward decision-making suggestions for high-quality development of urban agglomerations.

“…Considering the wide application and simplicity of the CCD model in practice (Cui et al, 2019;Li et al, 2020), this paper chose the CCD model to measure the coupling relationship between the ESS and RES. Referring to previous research (Ariken et al, 2021;Shi et al, 2020), the formula for calculating the CCD between the ESDL and RECC is as follows, and the classification standard is shown in Table 2.…”

The sustainable development of resource-based cities is vital to China's high-quality development. Based on the supportpressure framework, this study simplifies the city system into an economy-society subsystem (ESS) and a resourceenvironment subsystem (RES), and measures the economy social developmental level (ESDL) and resource environmental carrying capacity (RECC) of China's 116 resource-based cities using the improved entropy-TOPSIS model. Then, it applies the coupling coordination degree (CCD) and relative development models to explore their coupling coordination relationships and relative developmental types. The results are as follows. (1) The ESDL and RECC of China's resource-based cities have improved significantly, and there is a large divergence between cities in different regions, development stages, and dominant resource types. (2) The CCD between the ESDL and RECC of China's resource-based cities is still not ideal, and no city qualifies for the high coordination category. (3) Overall, the RECC lags behind the ESDL, and the cities with a lagging ESDL are concentrated in the western and northeastern regions. Based on these conclusions, three specific suggestions are put forth. This study may provide a scientific reference for the Chinese government to formulate a sustainable development plan for resource-based cities.

“…From the perspective of research area, it covers countries (Tian, 2015;Ariken et al, 2021), provinces (municipalities directly under the central government) (Zhang et al, 2016;Gai and Zhang., 2018;Wang et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2020a), prefecture-level cities and county cities (Ai et al, 2015;Fan et al, 2019;Zhu et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2020b). In recent years, there has been an increasing research on urban agglomerations, especially the urban agglomeration as a research area to study the coupling relationship between urbanization and ecological environment, but most of them are distributed in economically developed areas, such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, Yangtze River Delta agglomeration, Area of Hangzhou Bay (Fang and Ren, 2017;Chen et al, 2018;Cui et al, 2019;Han et al, 2019;Lu and Xiang, 2020;Xiao et al, 2020).…”

As an important platform for participating in international competition and cooperation, supporting economic growth and promoting coordinated regional development, urban agglomeration plays an important role in China’s economic, social and urbanization development. At this time, the Guanzhong Plain urban agglomeration (GZPUA), as the second largest urban agglomeration in western China, has a moderate population density. The high demand and high input of resources for population growth make the regional ecological destruction and environmental pollution more prominent. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study the coordinated development of urbanization and ecological environment in GZPUA. By using the panel data of the GZPUA of China between 2008 and 2017, this study constructed evaluation index system of new-type urbanization and ecological environment quality and calculated the weights of the indices within the evaluation system via the improved entropy weight method, finally determined the new-type urbanization and ecological environment quality of each city. Then the coupling coordination degree model was used to analyze the coupling coordination relationship between two systems of GZPUA and their coupling stages and levels. In addition, the driving mechanism of their coordination degree was explored by using geographic detector method. The results show that: 1) The GZPUA new-type urbanization quality is characterized by both slow growth except Xi’an by a rapid increase. The ecological environment quality is characterized by both slow growth and fluctuations, except Qingyang by a decrease. There are spatial differences between the quality of new-type urbanization and the quality of ecological environment. 2) The 11 cities can be divided into high-high type (Xi’an), high-low type (Xianyang, Yuncheng, Linfen), low-low type (Pingliang, Weinan), and low-high type (Shangluo, Tianshui, Qingyang), different types should take different development paths. 3) The coordination degree between urbanization and ecological environment quality in GZPUA showed an upward trend, and formed a spatial distribution pattern with Xi’an as the core and decreasing to the outer circle cities, with regional differences. 4) The coordinated development of new-type urbanization and ecological environment is a process in which various driving factors act on different driving forces. These driving forces can be summarized as market driving force, endogenous driving force, outward driving force and administrative driving force. Based on the current situation of coordinated development of new-type urbanization and ecological environment in the GZPUA, it is recommended to promote the coordinated development of urbanization and ecological environment according to local conditions, strengthen the urbanization market mechanism, and optimize the industrial layout. Further, guide the flow of various factors across regions, strengthen technological innovation on the basis of breaking regional divisions, narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, establish the concept of coordinated development, and give play to the government’s “visible hand” role.
