Abstract  City clusters are undergoing great changes and adjustments in spatial structure with the strengthening of functional links among cities, promoted by the rise of traffic flow and information flow. Therefore, taking 13 city clusters in China as the study sample, this paper collects the railway passenger transport data in even-numbered years from 1978 to 2012 and builds functional polycentricity index based on the rank-size distribution of train flow entering each city, in order to measure city clusters' spatial structure from functional linkage perspective and demonstrate their spatial evolution over time. Using fixed-effect models, we lay special emphasis on analyzing the influencing factors of their spatial evolution from the perspective of economic development, population size, population density, relation intensity, government intervention and industrial structure. We conclude that the spatial structure of city clusters presents a monocentric trend from the perspective of functional linkage. However, different city clusters have shown diversified characteristics.
