Abstract: This study investigates the impact of industrial agglomeration on land use intensification in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) urban agglomeration. Utilizing spatial econometric models, we conduct an empirical analysis of the clustering phenomena in manufacturing and producer services. By employing the Location Quotient (LQ) and the Relative Diversification Index (RDI), we assess the degree of industrial specialization and diversification in the YRD. Additionally, Global Moran's I and Local Moran's I scatter plots are used to reveal the spatial distribution characteristics of land use intensification. Our findings indicate that industrial agglomeration has complex effects on land use intensification, showing positive, negative, and inverted U-shaped impacts. These synergistic effects exhibit significant regional variations across the YRD. The study provides both theoretical foundations and empirical support for the formulation of land management and industrial development policies. In conclusion, we propose policy recommendations aimed at optimizing industrial structures and enhancing land use efficiency to foster sustainable development in the YRD region.
