Abstract: Abstract In line with the rapid urbanization, urban vibrancy has received more attention for it is an important indicator to promote urban sustainable development. However, there are few studies on the driving factors of urban activities in Chongqing from the micro-scale. By using kernel density analysis in ArcGIS and geographic detector tools, this paper investigates the urban vibrancy based on night lighting date and its driving factors in Chongqing main area, China. These driving factors can be divided into three categories, namely land use, transportation services, and public services. The empirical results show that: ① the spatial distribution of urban vibrancy in Chongqing main area presents the characteristics of “multi-core”; ② the differences among these driving factors of urban vibrancy is not significant, among which population density plays the most important role; ③ the effect of driving factors exhibits a synergistic enhancement of any two factors, which indicates that the influence of any two driving factors can further improve the difference of urban vibrancy.
