Analysis reveals economic growth impacts ecological resilience in urban areas, suggesting innovation boosts recovery.
Understanding the spatial dependence and changes in urban ecological resilience is critical to achieving regional sustainability. This study uses exploratory spatial data analysis and a dynamic spatial Durbin model to investigate urban ecological resilience in the Huai River Ecological Economic Belt from 2011 to 2023. The results show the following: (1) Resilience generally improves, but differences within the region increase. Over time, the region forms a stable “core–periphery” spatial pattern. (2) Technological innovation is the main local factor boosting resilience. Industrial upgrading, urbanization, and technological progress have a strong positive impact on neighboring areas. However, economic growth causes negative spillovers, and environmental regulation has a limited cross-regional effect. These findings show complex spatial interactions behind ecological resilience. The study provides practical guidance on strengthening regional cooperation and leveraging innovation to foster high-resilience development.
