Abstract :

Healthy and sustainable high-quality development needs to rely on scientific planning and design of assessment system, enabling high-quality assessment to become an important tool to lead and drive high-quality development in China. A high-quality development evaluation index system is proposed, consisting of six dimensions: economic operation, innovation-driven, coordinated development, green ecology, open development, and sharing and harmony, and the temporal and spatial Differentiation in China’s inter-provincial high-quality development levels are discussed after being measured using the entropy weight method. The results show that from the time dimension, China’s overall high quality development level shows a fluctuating upward trend with an obvious growth rate, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai maintained a high level of high-quality development during this period. From the spatial dimension, it is found that China’s high-quality development level has a significant positive spatial correlation between regions from 2014 to 2020, with a stable “high-high” agglomeration in the eastern coastal areas and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the “low-high” agglomeration is mainly distributed in the central plains, and the “low-low” agglomeration effect in the western provinces and regions has spread on a larger scale after 2015, with significant performance in the north-western provinces and regions.
