Economics Research on the Spatial Structure of China’s Digital Technology City Network——Also on the Construction of Network City Clusters.
A city is a fixed geographical space as well as an open flowing space. In the era of digital economy, functional elements such as technology, knowledge, and information have gradually broken through the limitations of space and boundaries, and the flow space has become the underlying logic of resource allocation, promoting the formation of extensive, close, and complex network connections between cities. The digital economy takes digital knowledge and information as the key production factors and digital technology as the core driving force. Understanding the urban network based on digital technology and its value and significance for bridging the regional digital divide is not only to grasp new opportunities, but also to use new elements to promote regional development. The inherent requirements of coordinated development are also important clues for thinking about the layout of cities and urban agglomerations under the reconstruction of the digital economy.
Digital technology is increasingly integrated into the whole process of various fields of economic and social development, and it is also becoming a key force in changing the competitive situation of cities, making the regional development pattern show multi-directional agglomeration and differentiation. This paper focuses on describing China’s digital technology city network, analyzes the agglomeration and differentiation of cities based on digital technology cooperation, and explores the configuration path for the promotion of urban network status. Provides ideas for constructing a multi-centered network-type urban agglomeration based on the node associations in it.
Deng Huihui, Liu Yujia and Wang Qiang published the paper “Research on the Spatial Structure of China’s Digital Technology City Network——Concurrently Discussing the Construction of Network-based Urban Agglomerations” in “China Industrial Economics” Issue 9, 2022 . New connection of cities, using 25,571 pieces of digital technology cooperation patent data in 11 key industries included in the ICT investment statistical framework, to build a Chinese digital technology city covering 5,320 units (including enterprises, scientific research institutions, universities, etc.) and 260 cities Network, using the social network analysis method of “flow” to determine the “shape” to describe the interactive relationship and connection logic between cities in the digital economy era, and using the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method to explore the sufficient conditions, necessary conditions and conditions for improving the city’s network status Different configurations to improve the understanding of the national integrated space network development strategy. The study found:
(1) China’s digital technology city network as a whole shows the structural characteristics of “flat hierarchy + circle interaction” with both stability and fluidity. The core cities are strong but not many, effectively exerting the function of “reducing the weak with the strong”, but also reflecting the effect of “joining the strong and the strong”; there are many but not strong peripheral cities, and the independent innovation path of “internal grouping” has not yet been formed. Driven by the principle of “optimal connection”, core cities will become more and more attractive, while peripheral cities will continue to be neglected.
(2) Different urban agglomerations in the digital technology city network are clearly differentiated, and the core cities in the network often assume special roles and functions. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area is “outstanding” and there is an obvious spatial polarization phenomenon. The Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta present the multi-center network characteristics of “a hundred flowers blooming”. The three major urban agglomerations all have the problem of slow development of the fringe circles, and there is a lack of strong and weak areas. Articulation and transition. Beijing and Guangzhou are the key structural holes connecting the north and the south, and the connection between the two promotes the integration of digital technology between the north and the south.
(3) China’s digital technology city network shows multiple heterogeneities driven by the distribution pattern of “state-owned enterprises-private enterprises-universities”. The south relies on private enterprises to form a multi-level and multi-center network structure with high density but small coverage, while the north relies on state-owned enterprises to form a single-center structure with Beijing as the center, which greatly promotes school-enterprise cooperation. The connection between cities is established, and the characteristics of decentralization and multi-polarization are obvious.
(4) The level of economic development, city administrative level and business environment jointly affect the city’s network status, and the importance of business environment is rising. Under the condition of heterogeneity in the development level of urban digital economy, the improvement of the “technology-organization-environment” conditions in the business environment ecology is the main way to improve the city’s network status, while the “organization-led” development path is a low-level city in the development of digital economy. Offers new options for enhancing the status of the network.
During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, it will further promote the spatial network trend of China’s economic development, and the implementation of city-specific policies to achieve network effect dividends will be a strategic point for achieving high-quality development. Based on the conclusions of this paper, the policy implications are summarized as follows:
(1) Accelerate the construction of an integrated coordination mechanism that matches the digital economy, and pay attention to the connection and transition of cities with strong and weak. Give full play to the driving role of leading cities, give full play to the information and control advantages of Beijing and Guangzhou in the network, promote the exchange of innovative elements between different clusters, promote the two-way cooperation in digital technology between the north and the south, eliminate barriers to technical cooperation between cities, and provide digital services for marginal cities. Technology exchange and cooperation platform.
(2) Take the “Digital from the East and Calculate from the West” project as the lead, give full play to the dividends of urban network effects to enhance the digital technology innovation capabilities of marginal cities. Encourage marginal cities to establish connections with cities in structural holes in the network, and strengthen, complement, and extend links through information mining and cooperation. Improve the digital technology learning capabilities of marginal cities, guide the concentration and diffusion of innovation elements in marginal cities, make full use of the positive externalities brought about by network knowledge overflow to enhance their strength, and bridge the “digital divide”.
(3) Make full use of the characteristics of the vitality of private enterprises, the wide distribution of state-owned enterprises, and the great potential of school-enterprise cooperation to accelerate the diffusion of digital technology and expand its application scope in the industry. Promote talent exchanges among enterprises, universities and scientific research units, encourage industry-university-research cooperation, and improve technology diffusion and innovation transformation capabilities.
(4) Continue to optimize the business environment and improve the technical, organizational and environmental conditions required for enterprises to carry out digital technology cooperation activities. In terms of technical conditions, build a platform for corporate technological innovation and talent exchange, provide incentives and subsidies for digital technology-specialized and new enterprises, and improve the intellectual property protection system; in terms of organizational conditions, improve the construction of digital infrastructure and improve government service capabilities to build a digital government And improve the level of governance modernization; in terms of environmental conditions, improve the quality and efficiency of financial services, and accelerate the removal of hidden market barriers.
