Abstract

With the deepening of the development process of regional integration in the Yangtze River Delta, integration and high quality have become the key paths of regional development. On the basis of the panel data of 26 cities in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, from 2008 to 2018, this paper uses a DEA model to calculate the ecological efficiency of each city. On the basis of the visual expression of the population agglomeration degree, with the help of ArcGIS platform, the coupling coordination between the population agglomeration and the ecological efficiency is calculated by using the coupling degree model. The results show the spatiotemporal pattern changes of the coupling coordination degrees of 26 cities in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration between population agglomeration and ecological environment, modeling the impact of urban population growth on the ecological environment. The research provides a scientific basis for determining the goal of urban population development, for coordinating the relationship between populations and the environment in urban development, and for realizing regional sustainable and high-quality development.
