Abstract

The success of a city increasingly depends on its role as a consumer centre. The new form of consumption is increasingly playing the leading role in urban consumption growth. Based on Meituan take-out data, this paper investigates quantitatively the spatial differences and explores the associations of the number of take-out with neighborhood characteristics on the scale of business circles in Shanghai by spatial econometric model. The results show that: (1) the average order quantity and consumption amount have the gradient consumption trend of the inner ring > the middle ring > the outer ring > the suburban ring. The spatial distribution of take-out in business circles is bounded by the Huangpu River, with an obvious pattern of more in the west and less in the east. (2) Three types of food distributions, traditional take-out, fashion casual take-out and supermarket and fresh take-out within business circles have obvious differences. In many business circles, fashion and leisure food delivery is significantly higher than traditional food delivery. Supermarket and fruit and vegetable take-out is scattered among business circles and is evenly distributed around the inner ring. (3) Economic level, population concentration, office and traffic factors have significant effect on the number of take-out. In detail, the impact on the volatility of dependent variables is as follows: catering industry > the number of white collars > population density > per capita consumption > traffic facility. This study proposes that office and catering industry, multi-centre city and traffic accessibility should be further strengthened in the coordinated development of Shanghai business circles so as to improve take-out economy.
