Abstract Because of the rapid development of the world economic globalization, the situation that global economic barycenter transfers to the coastal port cities is becoming more and more obvious.Coordinated development of port and city is a crucial way to achieve the port-city interaction and enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of the port city. As a result, to analyze the relationship between the two has been one hot spot of many geographical scholars at home and abroad. Based on the statistical data from 1989 to 2009 of Lianyungang city in Jiangsu province, which is a typical representative of ‘Economic depression’ in eastern coastal areas, a comprehensive evaluation index system containing six aspects of port and other ten aspects of city was setting up to estimate the coordinated development of port and city, and then the comprehensive development index of the two systems was calculated with the help of the method of factor analysis. The results show that the general process of coordinated development mode of Lianyungang has experienced three evolutionary processes in the studied period there are near offset mode, barely coordination mode and basic coordination mode. In addition, the degree of dynamic coordinated development between the two is on the rise, and the track of the port and city development wan basically coordination. In the future, the mode will gradually tend to coordinated. Through the further analysis, the paper reveals that the main factors which result in the evolution of Lianyungang's port-city coordinated development mode are as follows: the international situation, the state and local government policy; port's own infrastructure construction, locational and natural conditions; port-vicinity industrial development and urban economic support; the economic level of the hinterland and the competition of its surrounding ports, etc.
