    Abstract: The driving force of China’s economic development in the new era is gradually shifting from traditional production factor inputs and export-led growth to scientific and technological innovation-driven development, and technological innovation is increasingly becoming the main engine of China’s economic development. China needs to urgently address difficult issues such as the disconnect between science and technology and the economy, as well as prominent problems such as repeated resource allocation and scattered scientific research forces. Under the complex and volatile development environment, it is necessary to further optimize the spatial collaborative allocation of innovation chains and industrial chains and promote the rational and scientific layout of regional economies. This study analyzes the spatial pattern and development trend of the widening regional differences in China’s innovation chains and industrial chains from the perspective of spatial layout. It is found that there is a mismatch between China’s technological support capabilities and the layout of innovative industries in the national territory. The internal links of the innovation chain are not closely connected, and some industrial chain resources have long allocation distances and short chains. The western region has difficulties in fully integrating into the eastern industrial chain. In response to these characteristics and issues, the study proposes an overall layout strategy of “grasping both ends and releasing the middle”, striving to guide the overall optimization of national economic spatial development by promoting the spatial collaborative allocation of innovation chains and industrial chains.

    Abstract: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s regional coordinated development has shown a sound trend through measures such as poverty alleviation, ecological civilization construction, and the implementation of major regional strategies. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, China’s regional coordinated development is faced with the huge challenge of global resource and environmental supply shortage, slow and weak consumption growth in China and the world’s major economies, multi-sided suppression by developed countries, and continuous catch-up by developing countries with low-cost advantages. This study first puts forward some new academic thoughts, such as the equilibrium theory of spatial development, the spatial organization theory of node source and sink in economic network, and the spatial convergence theory of innovation chain-industry chain. On the basis of theoretical innovation, it has clarified the strategic key points of attaching equal importance to creating new driving forces for the development of developed areas and fostering the development of growth poles in underdeveloped areas, as well as taking coordinated regional development as the approach to Chinese-style modernization in the near future. The research holds that scientific and technological innovation plays a leading role in promoting regional coordinated development. Building a regional model of “scientific and technological innovation system + new quality productivity layout” according to local conditions, forming a new development pattern of comprehensive functional areas, promoting the westward shift of the focus of resource utilization industry layout, and attaching importance to cultivating the function of growth poles in key areas should become the main paths for regional coordinated development. Finally, the strategic and fundamental role of the major functional zoning is discussed.
