Abstract
The scientific evaluation and identification of the relationship between urban comprehensive carrying capacity and urbanization in Northeast China, a famous old industrial base, is an important basis for realizing the overall revitalization of the region. Using a panel data set of 34 prefecture-level cities in Northeast China from 2003 to 2019, this study constructs an ordinary panel data model to identify the relationship between urban comprehensive carrying capacity and urbanization. The results show that urbanization has significantly positive effects on urban comprehensive carrying capacity, and there is a significant inverted U-shaped curve relationship between urban comprehensive carrying capacity and comprehensive urbanization in Northeast China, especially in the shrinking cites. In addition, the economic urbanization variables of the fixed-asset investment, the total retail sales of social consumer goods, and the social urbanization variable of internet users play significantly important roles in forming of the inverted U-shaped curve relationship with the urban comprehensive carrying capacity of the shrinking cities in Northeast China. Hence, innovation-driven economic regrowth, promoting equalization of basic public services, alleviating talent outflow, and strengthening the leading roles of the core cities are effective measures for improving urban comprehensive carrying capacity and urbanization quality in Northeast China.
