The coupling effect of urban renewal and ecological resilience and its influencing factors in the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Surrounding Area

Based on the sample data of 8 prefecture-level cities in the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Surrounding Area from 2010 to 2022, this paper empirically analyzed the coupling coordination and driving mechanism of urban renewal and ecological resilience by using the entropy weight method, coupling coordination model, spatial Durbin model and other methods. The results show that: (1) From 2010 to 2022, the level of urban renewal and ecological resilience in the study area shows an overall upward trend, and the regional differences decreased year by year. (2) The coupling coordination degree of urban renewal and ecological resilience showed a fluctuating upward trend, and Changsha had always been in the high-level area of coupling coordination, and the development of its surrounding cities showed a trend of agglomeration. (3) Population agglomeration and economic development could promote the improvement of coupling coordination, and population agglomeration could also have a positive impact on the coupling coordination degree of neighboring areas. The increase in the proportion of industry and excessive government intervention would have an inhibiting effect on the coupling and coordination degree, and the impact of opening up to the outside world was still unclear.
