Abstract  As the main position and growth pole of economic and social development, cities are the key to high-quality development. Based on the new development philosophy, this paper builds an urban development quality measurement system, and uses the vertical and horizontal scale method to measure and analyze the development quality of 284 cities at the prefecture level and above in China from 2005 to 2018. Further, with the help of Dagum Gini coefficient method and kernel density estimation method, we investigate the regional differences and dynamic evolution laws of urban development quality in China, and use geographic detectors to explore the driving factors of spatial and temporal differentiation of urban development quality. The research found that: 1) The quality of urban development shows a steady upward trend, thanks to the improvement in the quality of the five sub-dimensions, but the problems of "weakness in the later period" and "strength in the east and weakness in the west" are prominent; 2) The unbalanced phenomenon of urban development quality in China is obvious, but it is gradually changing from a spatially unbalanced state to a spatially balanced state. 3) The absolute difference in the quality of urban development is narrowing year by year, the regional distribution and extension characteristics are prominent, and there is heterogeneity in the differences between cities within the region; 4) Natural conditions and the level of economic development are the main driving factors for the spatial and temporal differentiation of urban development quality, and the driving forces for the level of human capital and government regulation are gradually increasing.
