Abstract

In recent years, the rapid economic development of China's regions has led to a significant increase in urbanization, but this has been accompanied by significant resource consumption and pollutant emissions. So it is crucial to enhance sustainable development while achieving efficient urban development. Also National High-Tech Industrial Development Zones (NHTIDZs) have enhanced regional industrial agglomeration and technological innovation. This paper measured the Sustainable Smart Development level of cities and the development level of NHTIDZs. And using linear regression confirmed that high-tech zone development is closely related to urban development. Then used an Artificial Neural Network model to investigate the deeper correlation between the two. The results demonstrated that. (1) Although National High-tech Zone Index (NHTZI) had a significant effect on Sustainable smart cities index (SSCI), the effect was less than its grading index. (2) The ANN analysis shows that the Scale of the NHTIDZs has the greatest impact on the SSCI and also on the four SSCI classification indicators.
