Abstract The study on the interactive relationship between industrial agglomeration and city-regions is a key question in the research field of economic geography. An analysis of spatial evolution and effect of industrial agglomeration of city-regions is core research content, which helps to better understand the interactive relationships between industrial agglomeration and city-regions. Taking Guanzhong city-regions in middle region of Shaanxi Province of China as a case, this paper analyses the agglomerative level, spatial evolution and effect of manufacturing industries.The result of the research indicates:(1)manufacturing industries of Guanzhong city-regions are generally at high agglomerative level and are increasing upward, of which resource- intensive manufacturing industries is at the highest agglomerative level,capital & technology-intensive manufacturing industries is at the lowest agglomerative level; (2)manufacturing industries of Guanzhong city-regions exhibits a concentrated distribution, and the concentrated degree in 2008 is greater than that of 2000; (3)spatial form of Guanzhong city-regions exhibits a spatial ring structure with three layers:the central layer is Xi'an city where most labor-intensive manufacturing industries and capital & technology-intensive manufacturing industries are located, the outer layer is Baoji city and Weinan city where a few labor-intensive manufacturing industries and capital & technology-intensive manufacturing industries are located,and the middle layer is Tongchuan city and a part of Weinan city where resource-intensive manufacturing industries and a few labor-intensive manufacturing industries are situated.
