Abstract

The construction of consumption center plays an important role in forming a strong domestic market and promoting urban renewal. Based on the analysis of the connotation and characteristics of consumption cities,this paper constructs the evaluation index system of consumption city and uses the gravity model to calculate the urban consumption centrality degree. As the Yangtze River Delta has a good demonstration and leading role in cultivating and building consumption cities, this paper takes the Yangtze River Delta as an example. It's found that the consumption growth pole is the key to drive the development of regional consumption cities. As a consumption growth pole,Shanghai plays an important role in driving the development of consumption cities in the Yangtze River Delta. At the same time,the radiation intensity of consumption growth pole has spatial differentiation and shows an attenuation effect. With the rapid development of consumption center cities in the region,cities with the low consumption centrality degree are more dependent on their own endogenous development. Under the joint action of siphon effect and spillover effect,there is an obvious agglomeration in the spatial distribution of consumption cities in the Yangtze River Delta,which shows a positive spatial correlation. Furthermore,the development of tertiary industry,urbanization, internet and financial market can significantly enhance the local consumption centrality degree,and there is a positive spatial spillover effect. Economic development has raised the local consumption centrality degree,and also produces a siphon effect on surrounding cities. Moreover,the driving factors of consumption cities show significant spatial heterogeneity.
