Analyzes coordinated development in urban agglomerations, suggesting new strategies for improvement.

To evaluate the coordinated development of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration using new quality productive forces.
Constructed a four-dimensional evaluation index system across economic, social, ecological, and technological dimensions.
Employed the entropy method to calculate indicator weights and development indices.
Utilized a coupling coordination model to measure overall and subsystem-level coordination.
Analyzed spatiotemporal evolution characteristics from 2005 to 2023.
Overall coordination level showed a steady upward trend, moving from low to intermediate levels.
Significant spatial differentiation with a gradient development pattern centered on Beijing.
Economic and ecological synergy levels were relatively high, while technology-society coupling remains weak.
Hebei cities demonstrated insufficient scientific and technological innovation capabilities.

Mei et al. (2026) studied this question.
