Abstract
Based on the multi-index data of 11 cities in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay in 2016, the urban economic quality was calculated by TOPSIS method. Applying the modified gravitational model, the economy spatial linkage characteristics of core city-to-periphery city and periphery city-to-periphery city were analyzed. In addition, based on the method of network density analysis, centrality measures, core-periphery structure analysis to make a further verification about facts carried out from spatial connection analysis. This study shows that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay has an obvious core-periphery structure, and the overall economic network connection of Greater Bay is not strong. Guangdong-Shenzhen-Hong Kong is the core urban agglomeration in the Greater Bay Area. Dongguan and Foshan are transforming from marginal cities to semi-marginal cities. The marginal cities are limited by geographical distance or the economic environment, which leads to their development far behind the overall development of the Greater Bay Area. Finally, combined with the new wooden barrel theory and location advantage analysis method, advices were carried out to build a higher-level of the Greater Bay Area in future by dividing the Greater Bay Area into three major urban agglomerations. Urban agglomerations were proposed to meet the resources and industrial demands of the core urban imperfections and drive the economic development of the marginal cities at the same time.

Summary
At the end of the 20th century, the concept of “Bay Area Economy” was born. The Bay Area has become the growth pole that promotes technological innovation and drives the development of the global economy. Under the background of the trend of regional economic integration, China has gradually transformed the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao the Greater Bay Area from the regional economic cooperation hypothesis into an actual national strategy to accelerate the rapid development of the regional economy and the efficient utilization of resources. It will to make China have the ability to face the new round of industrial structure transformation and reform and opening to the outside world. For China, the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao the Greater Bay Area needs to integrate the complex, pluralistic economic form and social system—the integration of nine cities in the mainland with Hong Kong and Macao, and the economic communication with the world market on the spot
