This research aims to explore the coordinated development of urban subsystems focusing on efficiency, considering spatial and temporal factors.
Analyzed panel data from 278 Chinese cities between 2010 and 2023.
Utilized the Super-SBM model and the Local–Tele Coupling Coordination Degree framework.
Employed machine learning techniques for examining spatiotemporal evolution and driving mechanisms.
Coordinated urban development improved over time but with uneven subsystem evolution, particularly in resilience.
Regional disparities narrowed, yet inter-regional differences remained a major source of inequality.
Innovation intensity and high-quality investment positively affected development, while financial factors showed nonlinear impacts.
