The Spatio-Temporal Pattern of Regional Coordinated Development in the Common Prosperity Demonstration Zone—Evidence from Zhejiang Province

Achieving common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and promoting regional coordinated development (RCD) an important path to achieving prosperity. This study uses data from Zhejiang Province 2011 2020, a demonstration zone prosperity, construct evaluation model RCD, assess level degree, then analyze differences spatial correlation pattern RCD. The following results were obtained: (1) economic, social, ecological subsystems all cities or counties show continuous fluctuating rise, each unit also shows rising trend. that steady fundamental material basis for (2) economic social high in north low south, while south north. RCD evolves very uneven distribution good most cities. It equalization among regions realistic manifestation (3) has greater intra-regional than inter-regional differences, are those south. between have been narrowing. significant positive correlation, with high-value tending be adjacent low-value regions. In sum, last decade provides evidence its role as confirms way achieve
