Optimizing simulation and scientific scenarios for the spatial pattern of China’s urban development

Abstract

Through the analysis of the driving factors (including the labor, capital, innovation in the Cobb–Douglas production function, and accessibility, information technology and the Internet and industrial transfer) and constraints (including transportation constraints, terrain complexity constraints, water resource constraints and the constraints of development priority zoning), this study constructs the constraint index systems for the optimization of the spatial pattern of China’s urban development.
