Abstract
The urban areas around the Qinba Mountain Area, located in the geographical center of China, comprise Chengyu urban agglomeration, Guanzhong urban agglomeration, Wuhan urban agglomeration, and Zhongyuan urban agglomeration. Under China’s changed territorial strategy of One Belt, One Road and the formation of multilateral open pattern, coordination of the urban areas around the Qinba Mountain Area is of great significance to support the rise of central China, protect the ecological environment of the Qinba Mountain Area, and alleviate poverty in mountainous areas. However, due to the large geographical distance, the internal connection of the urban areas around the Qinba Mountains is weak. In this paper, based on the experience of foreign megalopolises, the author suggests that the study on coordinated development of the urban areas around the Qinba Mountain Area should be carried out from the following four aspects: Macro pattern judgment, spatial organization, fast traffic connection, and cooperative division of industrial labor.
