The construction of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor is crucial to the economic development of western China and even Southeast Asia. Research analyzes the evolution of urban economic spatial pattern of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor in different years and discusses the coordinated development between economic connection and accessibility and i...

... The impacts of the transportation network on the regional economy can be reflected in two aspects. Firstly, the investment in transport construction will stimulate economic growth, expand production demand, and promote employment in the initial period [47,48], and the endogenous growth model and input-output model are the main measurement tools for this type of economic effect [49,50]. Secondly, the spatio-temporal compression effect of transportation will enhance the logistics and transport efficiency of the region, which in turn will strengthen the economic ties of the cities along the route [51], and this process is reflected in the impact of transportation infrastructure on economic agglomeration and growth, specialization, production efficiency, investment, and industrial structure. ...
Coordination between the construction of transport infrastructure and the development and protection of territorial space is an important factor in promoting sustainable regional development, but there is still a lack of systematic research on the impact of transport on territorial space worldwide. Following the logic of “development trend revealing—theoretical and technological summary—mechanism analysis”, the research progress on the two aspects of development and protection of territorial space related to transport is systematically and comprehensively sorted from the perspective of multi-scale and multi-mode transport. The results show that: (1) The number of research papers on the effect of transport on territorial space is on the rise, and there is an obvious trend of cross-disciplinary research. (2) Transport infrastructure will promote the development of territorial space in terms of land use change, spatial-temporal compression, and economic development, and will affect the protection of territorial space in terms of ecological impacts, energy consumption and carbon emissions, and the crossing of protection zones. (3) In the existing research, the lack of multi-dimensional indicator system construction and analysis, insufficient research at the mechanism level, and insufficient combination of theoretical research and practical application are the main problems at present, and an important direction is urgently needed for future research.
... Findlay and Sparks (2009) found that urban roads provide a place for such activities. The transportation network provides this physical space with fluid characteristics and accommodates the diversity of different functions (Zhang et al., 2023). Enhancement of urban vitality will drive the development of external circulation industries, and external mobility will act on urbanization construction and domestic demand. ...
... More scholars believe that the coordinated development of urban agglomerations needs to be based on the experience of social fairness and residents' happiness. The coordination of multiple elements, such as spatial population density, accessibility, and the built environment, can effectively activate the vitality of the urban agglomeration (Swisher IV, 2017;Elvidge et al., 2021;Zhang et al., 2023). However, most studies are qualitative case analyses due to the limited availability of such detailed and practical data. ...
... We construct an evaluation index system for the interactive relationship between transportation and vitality in county-level towns in urban agglomerations to explore the coupling coordination relationship between transportation network accessibility and urban vitality in the Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration. However, urban vitality is related to the development issues of each countylevel town within the urban agglomeration; especially factors such as rank, location, population, and environment affect the formation and sustainability of urban vitality (Nistor and Popa, 2014;Li et al., 2022;Zhang et al., 2023). Most studies believe that transportation network accessibility promotes the development of urban agglomerations, but some studies also believe that increased investment in transportation infrastructure is a factor that exacerbates polarization within urban agglomerations (He et al., 2018;Du et al., 2022). ...
This study is grounded in the coordinated development of the “transportation-urban vitality” coupling in county-level spaces within urban agglomerations. The research object is the Lanzhou–Xining urban agglomeration, a typical western region in China. The interactive relationship between the transportation network of county-level cities within the urban agglomeration and urban vitality is selected, and the vitality evaluation model and spatial syntax model are used to measure the functional vitality, socioeconomic vitality, and transportation network accessibility of the urban agglomeration. On this basis, the evolution characteristics of the coupling coordination level between the transportation network and the urban vitality of the Lanzhou–Xining urban agglomeration are studied. The research found that over the past decade, the transportation network accessibility of the Lanzhou–Xining urban agglomeration and the vitality of the nodal cities have significantly increased. However, the internal development of the urban agglomeration needs to be more balanced. The dual core-driven urban agglomeration has formed a distinct “ridge line” connection, but the polarization phenomenon caused by the “core-periphery” structure is still prominent. The coupling coordination level of spatial development in the county-level space of the Lanzhou–Xining urban agglomeration varies greatly, with approximately 80% of the county-level cities still in a state of imbalance, leading to a mismatch between the transportation network and urban vitality of the Lanzhou–Xining urban agglomeration. This research result is worthy of deep reflection by city managers and participants on the development path of urban agglomerations formed by “weak-weak” alliances.
Purpose: To examine the economic effects of logistics under the influence of policies. Research design, data and methodology: This study is the first to use the panel data of 31 provinces and municipalities in China from 2012 to 2021, and use the OLS and DID models to evaluate whether the New Western Land-Sea Corridor (NWLSC) has promoted the economic development of the regions along the corridor. Results: The NWLSC has stimulated local economic growth by promoting the development of transportation, postal, and telecommunications industries along the corridor. Further, considering the locational differences of the regions along the NWLSC, we examined the differences in economic effects between regions along the Yangtze River and those not along the Yangtze River under the background of NWLSC implementation. We found that waterway and airway transport located along the NWLSC and in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) region can significantly promote economic growth. However, for regions located along the NWLSC but not in the YREB region, the impact of roadway, railway, and airway transport in these regions on economic growth is more significant. Conclusions: This study has important reference value on how to use logistics to promote the economic and cross-border commerce development of landlocked countries or regions.
