Abstract

At present, there are relatively few studies on the coupling coordination analysis of new urbanization and urban transportation. This paper takes 11 preface-level cities in Zhejiang Province as the research object and analyses the new urbanization and urban transportation development status of each city in 2010, 2015, and 2020 through the construction of the index system. In addition, the paper uses the entropy method and the coupling coordination model to evaluate their coupling coordination relationship. The results show that: (1) The new urbanization has developed from Hangzhou as the single core (2010) to the pattern of Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Zhoushan as the dual-core + the “Quzhou-Lishui-Wenzhou-Taizhou” high-value belt in the south (2020), which spatially shows a trend of high in the north and low in the south. (2) Urban transportation has always centralized in Zhoushan as the single core, with the overall distribution high in the north and low in the south. (3) At the three time periods, the coordination degree of new urbanization and urban transportation in all preference-level cities is almost 0.4 and above, which exceeds the level of antagonistic equilibrium (0-0.2), which is divided into four categories, namely, low, medium, high, and coordinated equilibrium levels. Most of the preface-level cities are in medium and high equilibrium. Hangzhou (0.707) and Zhoushan (0.800) are high-value representations of coordinated equilibrium, while Jinhua (0.473) and Lishui (0.439) are typically low in the value of low-grade equilibrium. (4) The development of new urbanization and urban transportation as well as their coupling coordination relationship are related to urban positioning and geographical location. The research has a constructive role in evaluating the new urbanization and urban transportation of the cities in Zhejiang, which also makes a reference on how to improve the quality of coordination based on the status quo of coupling coordination and the positioning of urban development.
