Analysis reveals low growth in urban-rural integration in Wuling Mountain counties, highlighting spatial challenges and sustainable development needs.

Key Points

To evaluate the integrated urban-rural development in counties of the Wuling Mountain area and identify obstacles to coordination.
Analyzed 71 counties in the Wuling Mountain area from 2010 to 2023.
Constructed a conceptual model based on the urban-rural integration system.
Utilized various analytical methods including entropy weight ideal point method and coupling coordination model.
Average annual growth of integrated urban–rural development was 1.213%, showing low levels of progress.
Coupling coordination index improved from 0.6380 to 0.7016, with significant upgrades in nearly 60% of counties.
Key obstacles included land urbanization and population distribution imbalance affecting sustainable development.
