Modern service industry agglomeration and its influencing factors: spatial interaction in Chinese cities

Sažetak
From the perspective of spatial interaction, the impact of the
modern service industry’s agglomeration on today’s increasingly
connected cities is worth studying. This study uses a spatial
econometric model to test the development trends and factors
influencing the modern service industry’s agglomeration in the
Yangtze River Delta city group. The results show that the industry
has the highest agglomeration in leasing and business and
the lowest in education. The overall concentration of the industry
is generally low, implying a more fragmented distribution.
Moreover, the agglomeration has a significant positive spatial correlation with economic development, knowledge intensity, and
city size. However, it has a negative correlation with information
technology level and transportation infrastructure, inconsistent
with existing research. This study argues that the development of
the information technology level and transportation infrastructure
in a city could lead to the ‘virtual agglomeration’ of the modern
service industry and gradual decentralisation in geographical distribution. This is a new paradox that city groups may face when
improving their infrastructure and developing modern services.
This study uses the spatial interaction perspective to propose policy recommendations for promoting the modern service industry’s
agglomeration and coordinated regional development.
