Abstract

The development of park cities is an important exploration for better satisfying people’s aspirations for a better life, promoting sustainable social development, and advancing the transformation of green ecological values. As a basic industry for sustainable development, the combination of agriculture and urban development is an important way to build an ecological civilization. Clarifying the relationship between a park city and green development of agriculture is of great significance to the construction of a green base and ecological system of the city, sustainable development of agriculture, and integrated development of urban and rural areas. Chengdu is a mega-city in western China, and the Chengdu-led park city development program is unique in Chinese urban development. Chengdu’s park city development is a pioneering example of urban ecological civilization construction. Taking Chengdu as an example and combining the data of other prefecture-level cities in Sichuan, this study explored the correlation and interaction between agricultural green development (AGD) and park city development (PCD) in Chengdu and other prefecture-level cities in Sichuan from 2011 to 2022 based on the coupling coordination degree, gray correlation degree, and spatial autocorrelation analysis. The results showed the following: (1) Based on the entropy method, the level of AGD in Chengdu rises from 0.353 in 2011 to 0.537 in 2022, and the level of PCD rises from 0.368 to 0.826. The level of AGD and the level of PCD as a whole show an upward trend. (2) The degree of coupling and coordination between the PCD and AGD levels rises from 0.600 to 0.816, realizing the leap from coordination to good coordination, and the degree of coupling has been at a high level. (3) Based on the grey correlation degree, in the process of the influence of AGD on the PCD, the correlation degree of the influencing factors of each indicator is basically above 0.5, and each influencing factor has a strong contribution to the level of the PCD. (4) Spatial self-analysis shows that the coupling coordination degree of AGD and PCD in a region is affected by the neighboring region. Therefore, we believe that AGD plays a more obvious role in driving and radiating PCD and that it can effectively promote the economic, social, and ecological upgrading in the process of PCD.
