The study looked at how urbanization and transportation affect the clustering of manufacturing industries in China. By analyzing data from 2000 to 2011, the researchers found that urbanization and transportation infrastructure have a big impact on where manufacturing industries cluster. They also discovered that urbanization and manufacturing clustering have a specific relationship, as do transportation infrastructure and manufacturing clustering. Factors like banking concentration, foreign openness, and information also play a role in where manufacturing industries cluster. Overall, the study shows that China's manufacturing industry clustering is influenced by spatial factors and has a ripple effect on nearby areas.
