Abstract:

Due to increasing global economic digitalization and uncertainty, urban resilience construction and logistics system upgrading have become core issues in regional development. However, existing research often discusses the two in isolation, lacking a systematic analysis of the evolutionary patterns and driving factors of the synergistic network between logistics new quality productivity and urban resilience. Based on data from 30 provinces in China from 2004 to 2023, this study employs the VHSD-EM model, coupling coordination degree model, social network analysis, and QAP method to systematically analyze the spatial organizational network structure evolution and driving forces of logistics new quality productivity and urban resilience in China. The findings are as follows: (1) Temporally, the two exhibit synchronous evolution with a gradient pattern of “eastern>national>central>western”. (2) The coupling coordination degree has steadily improved, but disparities persist, indicating a transitional phase from fragmentation to coordinated symbiosis. Spatially, a stable pattern of “high in the east, low in the west” is observed, with the spatial configuration transitioning from mild to near imbalance. (3) The synergistic network structure has shifted from loose and hierarchical to polycentric and flattened, with robustness continuously strengthening. It demonstrates nonlinear synergistic gains of “1+1>2” and a “siphon effect” in the eastern core regions. Spatially, four major zones have been formed: The Bohai Rim and Yangtze River Delta core zones, the southeastern coastal radiation zone, the central-northeastern resource zone, and the western peripheral zone. (4) The development of the synergistic network follows a “three-promoting, three-inhibiting” driving path, where economic level, technological innovation, and openness to the world act as positive drivers, while industrial structure, government intervention, and transportation disparities serve as negative constraints. The study provides theoretical references and policy insights for promoting high-quality synergistic development of new quality logistics productivity and urban resilience in China.
