Features: This book takes the relationship between agglomeration effects and land use as the starting point, and from the perspective of the unified operation of urban economic and spatial systems, elucidates the inherent regularities of urban economic operations and urban development. It establishes a brand-new theoretical analytical framework, fills a gap in urban economic research, and proposes decision-making foundations for sustainable urban development strategies in China from a new theoretical perspective. The research in this book is highly targeted, offers in-depth analysis, and presents credible conclusions with relevant recommendations, making it of significant practical and applied value. It summarizes the essence of urban sustainable development as the process of continuously increasing urban agglomeration benefits while adjusting and improving urban land use structure and efficiency under constraints such as the environment, resources, and regional economy. Urban governments, in response to these constraints, seek policies that ensure the long-term maximization of agglomeration benefits and the optimal use and layout of urban land use, which fundamentally guarantees the sustainable growth of cities. This represents a new development in theories of urban sustainable development and the role of urban governments.
