Abstract

The innovative development of urban agglomeration is a new proposition endowed by the era of knowledge economy, and the innovative network has become the core issue of urban agglomeration development research in the new era. Relevant research on urban agglomeration innovation network is sorted out from three aspects, as scale characteristics, process mechanism and collaborative path, and it is concluded that: In terms of scale characteristics, the multi-scale nature of innovation network nodes and network space requires that the network interaction at different spatial scales should be paid attention to in the interpretation of urban innovation. The adhesiveness and spatial dependence of knowledge spillover between cities are the important internal mechanism of which innovation networks center on the scale of urban agglomeration and ensuring smooth internal and external connectivity of networks is key to realize the innovation of urban agglomeration. In terms of process mechanism, the important influence of urban attributes and multidimensional proximity has been widely recognized, but there are few studies on the evolution mechanism of innovative networks from the perspective of urban geography, and the quantitative empirical evidence of relevant theories remains to be broken through. In terms of collaborative path, the realization of collaborative innovation in urban agglomerations requires the dual support of planning guidance and institutional arrangements. However, there is a lack of systematic research on the innovative interaction and connection effect between different urban agglomerations. How to use case study and empirical analysis to systematically analyze and quantify the patterns and effects of collaborative innovation in different urban agglomerations will become an important issue in the follow-up research.
