Abstract Based on the data of 162 prefecture-level cities of ten urban agglomerations from 2012 to 2021， this study examines the impact of urban agglomeration polycentricity on urban-rural integration. The results show that: 1)The Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, Chengdu-Chongqing, Shandong Peninsula and Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang urban agglomerations generally show a trend toward polycentricity, while other urban agglomerations show a tendency of weakening polycentricity. 2)The overall level of urban-rural integration of ten urban agglomerations shows a steady increase. There are significant spatial differences in the level of urban-rural integration among ten urban agglomerations, with medium-high and high integration zones distributed around medium integration zones. 3) The polycentricity of urban agglomerations and urbanrural integration show a significant inverted U-shaped relationship. 4)The influence of polycentricity on urban-rural integration varies among urban agglomerations at different stages of development.
