Abstract: Abstract As China enters a new era, the coupling coordination degree (CCD) between scientific and technological innovation (STI) ability and high-quality development of construction industry (HQDCI) will not only affect the operation of innovation system, but also influence the development of construction industry and national economy. This paper constructs an evaluation index of STI and HQDCI, and with the help of the entropy weight method, coupling coordination degree model (CCDM), exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA), GM (1,1) model, and obstacle degree model to explore CCD and its obstacle factors, as well as the spatial correlation between STI capacity and HQDCI level in China during 2013–2020. The results show that: (1) STI capacity and HQDCI level fluctuate upward during the study period, but the development of STI lags behind that of HQDCI. (2) The spatial–temporal characteristics of CCD between STI capacity and HQDCI level show a good upward trend on the whole, but the CCD level is generally lower. Spatially, it represents eastern area > central area > northeast area > western area. (3) STI capacity in China has a significant spatial correlation with the HQDCI level, and presents an obvious geospatial disequilibrium type. (4) This study proposes policy recommendations for promoting CCD between STI and HQDCI, based on an analysis of the primary obstacles to effective coordination between these two systems.
