Abstract  Based on the perspective of composite indicators, comprehensively understanding and improving the quality of urban development is a scientific issue that reveals the high-quality integrated development mechanism of urban agglomerations in the Yangtze River Delta. This paper constructed an urban development quality evaluation index system from five dimensions:Economy, society, scientific and education, facilities, and environment to quantitatively measure the development quality of 26 cities, and analyzed the evolution of spatiotemporal pattern of urban development quality in 2008, 2013 and 2018 in detail. Research shows that the comprehensive urban development quality in Shanghai is higher than that of the other 25 cities, which followed by Nanjing and Hangzhou. The cities with the lowest comprehensive development quality in three years are Chaohu, Xuancheng, and Anqing. Although the development quality has been continuously improved, the growth rate in 2013-2018 is even faster. There is a significant imbalance in the subitem development quality, especially in Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, Wuxi and Zhoushan. The quality of economic, social, scientific and educational development is high, but the quality of facilities and environmental development is very low. From the perspective of the spatiotemporal evolution pattern, the average center of urban development quality in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration deviates eastward from the regional geometric center and has undergone a dynamic process of decentralization-aggregation-decentralization.
