This paper analyzes the theoretical connotation and complex characteristics of common prosperity, constructs the geographical mechanism framework of common prosperity, and reviews the regional practice process of China 's common prosperity, with a view to contributing geography to the Chinese-style modernization of the connotation of common prosperity. The study found that: 1) 'Development' and 'equilibrium' are the theoretical basis of common prosperity. 2) Common prosperity has four complex characteristics: comprehensive and factor trade-off, regional and multi-scale governance, dynamic and time correlation, spatial and non-spatial multi-agent. 3) Since the reform and opening up, China 's regional practice of common prosperity has shown remarkable performance in regions, urban-rural areas, and groups. 4) Geography has broad application prospects in promoting the process of common prosperity, which can promote the realization of the goal of common prosperity through strategic interactions with ecological civilization, territorial space planning, and digital economy.

Behavioral geography explores the interactions between human behavior and geographical environments from a micro-scale perspective, providing a foundation for understanding micro-level humanenvironment relations. However, traditional behavioral geography paradigms face significant limitations when analyzing complex human-environment interactions, particularly in the context of China’s new urbanization phase that emphasizes human-centered and sustainable development. This paper reviews the current development challenges in behavioral geography and examines the theoretical background and disciplinary influence of the relational turn, attempting to reconstruct the theoretical and analytical framework of behavioral geography from a relational perspective. We identify three key challenges: the predominant focus on static relationships between individuals and environment while overlooking social networks and interactions; the disconnect between macro and micro-scale analyses; and the limitations of traditional data collection methods in capturing complex behavioral patterns. The proposed framework emphasizes placing individuals within the macro-structural context of social relationships, establishing a cross-scale research paradigm that bridges micro-individual behaviors and macro-geographical phenomena through network analysis. By investigating micro-scale individual spatiotemporal behaviors from a network lens, this approach reveals broader societal patterns that conventional micro-scale approaches might overlook.

Exploring new drivers of economic growth in the process of Chinese modernization is a responsibility that economic geography faces in this era. This paper theoretically elucidates how the new triad of technology, data, and relationship drives economic growth. By employing geographical detectors, we empirically demonstrate the transformative trend where these new elements are replacing the traditional triplet. The study reveals several key findings: 1) With their advantages of incrementality, cumulativeness, and infinity, the new triplet can continuously fuel economic growth. They are gradually supplanting the core position held by the traditional triplet of land, labor, and capital in the economic growth driving force system, emerging as the new impetus for China's economic growth in the new era. 2) As a hidden and incremental factor, relationship resources play a crucial driving role in regional economic growth. They facilitate the interaction and reorganization of regional resources, providing convenient connection channels for the flow of other resource elements. 3) The economic driving effects of the new and old triplets exhibit significant spatial heterogeneity.

In the implementation of the Belt and Road initiative, overseas industrial parks have strengthened connectivity between China and neighboring countries. This paper constructs a theoretical framework from the Five Connectivities perspective based on spatial interaction theory, exploring the path of overseas industrial parks in boosting the Belt and Road connectivity by case study on the China-Europe Trade and Logistics Park. The research reveals: 1) Promoting the connectivity requires national complementarity, infrastructure accessibility, and risk mitigation. 2) The complementary advantages,multi-dimensional cooperation,efficient connectivity,and risk prevention between China and Hungary in the field of trade and logistics have laid a solid foundation for the China-Europe Trade and Logistics Park to fulfill its connectivity role. The study offers a "synergy + optimization + digital empowerment" model for upgrading China's overseas trade and logistics parks.

Gentrification has emerged as a significant theoretical and practical concern in global urban and rural development. In the context of China's urban renewal, urban sprawl, and rural revitalization, gentrification has become prevalent across various territorial types, leading to diverse social-spatial outcomes. Grounded in the theories of urban-rural spatial structure and uneven development, this paper develops an analytical framework for empirical research on gentrification within China. Through statistical analysis and geographic visualization techniques, this study systematically reviews existing empirical research on gentrification in China, revealing that metropolises serve as focal regions for gentrification studies. Increasing attention is being directed toward metropolitan fringes and hinterland areas. The majority of researchers adopt either a critical or relatively neutral stance regarding gentrification in China. Gentrification exhibits variations across different regional types. In inner cities, it primarily manifests through phenomena such as commercial gentrification and education-led gentrification. In urban fringe areas, gentrification often takes the form of new-build gentrification and green gentrification. Rural gentrification and tourism gentrification are observed in hinterland rural areas. The experiences of gentrification across various regions are linked to the occurrence pathways and internal logics, reflecting profound transformations in China's complex rural-urban relationship. Future research should delve deeper into population flows during gentrification processes, the comprehensive evolutionary history of gentrified communities, and the institutional characteristics underlying gentrification.

In the context of the new mobility paradigm,the politics of mobility has become a hotspot of human geography research in domestically and abroad. The politics of mobility refers to a pluralistic, dynamic and complex power relationship formed by mobile subjects in the process of mobility in different spaces in order to realize the control or resistance of mobility, and which has produced corresponding spatial results in many aspects such as economy, politics, culture and ecology. Based on this, the empirical study of the politics of mobility from the perspective of human geography mainly includes the mobility of the politics of mobility,the politics of the politics of mobility, and the spatial outcomes of the politics of mobility. The following are findings of the research: 1) It is the mobility the premise of the politics of mobility. In terms of crosstime and inter-scale,The motility and resources of the mobile subject will change over time and space, while the power relations between the mobility subjects are produced and reproduced in the process of interaction and interplay. 2) The politics, specifically referring to the control and resistance, is the core connotation of the politics of mobility. 3)The duality of the politics of mobility creates differentiated spatial results in economic, political, cultural and ecological aspects.
