- Abstract
Exposing the spatial structure of central cities and its effect on economic performance is crucial for promoting the sustainable development of urban regions in light of the continuous expansion of metropolitan areas around the globe. However, few empirical studies have examined how changes in the spatial structure of central cities influence the economic performance of metropolitan areas. Using panel data for the metropolitan area of Hangzhou from 2005 to 2020, this paper examines the alteration of the spatial structure of central cities contributes positively to the improvement of the economic performance of metropolitan areas, demonstrates that geographical spatial distance and urban economic scale will have a regulating effect on the economic performance of metropolitan areas. Consequently, it is necessary to promote the optimization of the multi-center city network pattern at the scale of the central city and the metropolitan area (district) where it is located, to pay attention to the coordinated development of regional polycentric spatial structure in morphological and functional dimension, which can more effectively improve regional economic performance and development, and aid in the development of a high-quality regional economy.
