The shortest path model is selected to evaluate the regional traffic accessibility. Three index factors, gross product, total retail sales of consumer goods, and number permanent residents in region, were selected, weight sum was given by entropy method economic intensity. gravity adding accessibility considering factors linkages.

Drawing on the ‘buzz-and-pipeline’ framework, this paper examines impact of intra- and interregional collaboration linkages innovation capacity cities, as evidenced by co-publication networks existing among 217 Chinese cities located in 20 city-regions. The results show that (1) have an inverted ‘U’-shaped positive relationship with capacity, respectively; (2) effects urban can be enhanced when...
