Abstract: As a product of the advanced stage of industrialization and urbanization, urban agglomeration is a highly integrated city cluster. The formation and development of urban agglomeration is a long natural process, which is transformed from competition to cooperation. Located in the northern Xinjiang, the core of the Silk Road Economic Belt, urban agglomeration in northern slope of Tianshan Mountains is one of the 19 urban agglomerations promoted by the 13th Five-Year Plan. Meanwhile, it is one of the two border urban agglomerations, as well as the only urban agglomeration in the core of the Silk Road Economic Belt. By analyzing the strategic basis, development opportunities and existing problems, this paper puts forward the strategic positioning, development goals and spatial layout for the sustainable development of urban agglomeration in northern slope of Tianshan Mountains. In accordance with the development idea of “innovation, openness, linkage, leverage and military-civilian integration”, urban agglomeration in northern slope of Tianshan Mountains can become the strategic support point of the Silk Road Economic Belt, national strategic resource processing and storage base, core engine of urbanization and economic development in Xinjiang, and demonstration area of ethnic unity and military-civilian integration. According to the ecological, production and living functional zoning control, we will build one belt (Silk Road Urbanization Belt), one circle (Wu-Chang-Wu metropolitan circle) two lines (Wulasitai-Zhundong-Korla Line and Karamay-Kuitun-Kuche Line) and four areas (Kui-Du-Wu-Hu metropolitan area, Shi-Sha-Ma metropolitan area, Karamay metropolitan area and Turpan metropolitan area), so as to form a new Fu-shaped spatial pattern of military-civilian integration.

Key words: Urban agglomeration in northern slope of Tianshan Mountains, Sustainable development, Strategic thinking, Spatial layout
