Abstract
The study was in order to know the urban agglomerations’ comprehensive capacity, driving forces and the spatial pattern of gravity; Taking cases of 4 urban agglomerations in Sichuan, an evaluation system was constructed in 3 dimensions: sociology, ecology and economics. The comprehensive carrying capacity level and driving forces were evaluated by entropy weight-TOPSIS, and revised gravity model was used to analyze the interaction forces and industry division; The results showed that the majority of the cities’ comprehensive capacity increased and it still had a lot of room for improvement; industrial structure, population urbanization, urban infrastructure construction became the key drivers of the urban agglomerations development; the spatial pattern and industry division were not rational, diffusion effects of core cities were not marked; Some measures should be taken to achieve healthy urbanization of Sichuan, such as optimizing the structure of urban agglomeration, congregating development of the provincial capital city Chengdu, multi-point supporting of the secondary core cities and guiding of government.
