Abstract

In the year 2000, Guangzhou proposed the urban spatial development strategy of “Eastern Expansion, Western Integration, Southern Extension, and Northern Excellence.” By 2010, the initial framework of the “Two Cores, Four Cities” urban spatial pattern was established. Subsequently, the strategy incorporated a “Central Adjustment” to further optimize the urban development layout, aiming to shape a multi-centered, cluster-based, network-oriented urban spatial structure by 2020. Against this backdrop, this study employs Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to divide and calculate the density of Guangzhou’s railway and road networks. Furthermore, by combining the measurement of temporal accessibility of the rapid rail transit (metro) network, a comprehensive evaluation of urban accessibility in Guangzhou’s central area is conducted. The study analyzes the spatial characteristics and investigates the effects of railway and road networks on urban accessibility and agglomeration economy through an examination of both the central and peripheral regions of Guangzhou.
