Abstract
Development is the primary issue facing cities in the world today. Urban development is inseparable from the support of labor. The population mobility between regions provides a guarantee for the sustainable development of the city. Therefore, the dynamics of population mobility and its interactive relationship with urban development requires more in-depth research. The background of the development of China’s urbanization, the intersection of interdisciplinary methods, and the emergence of new data enable more extensive research on this topic. This chapter takes Chinese cities as the research objects and explores the interactive relationship between urban development and population mobility. We emphasize the importance of exploring the interaction between population mobility and urban development at different spatial and temporal scales. Combined with official statistics and emerging big data, we describe the dynamics of population mobility between cities and within cities. With the help of spatial econometric model and other mathematical statistical models, we analyzed the urban development factors affecting population mobility, including urban economy, urban policies, and urban built environment. Our empirical results provide a certain reference for the promotion of China’s urbanization process and the sustainable development of cities in the new period.
