Abstract

International transportation hub is the key point for a city to realize both internal and external development, a trans-regional transit and distribution center for people and materials, a bridge for international development factors to flow and gather, and a basic support for the international development of a city. The spatial distribution characteristics of population and transportation facilities in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area were analyzed by using population density, nuclear density and transportation connection degree models. The research shows that the spatial distribution of population in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has obvious characteristics of agglomeration and polycentricity. The spatial distribution of traffic facilities is characterized by polycentric distribution, which is highly coupled with population distribution. Transportation degree: Guangzhou and Foshan > Shenzhen and Dongguan > Guangzhou and Dongguan > Shenzhen and Huizhou > Shenzhen and Guangzhou. The development of regional transportation has formed a development pattern with "Guangzhou+Shenzhen" as the main core, aiming at improving the functions of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's international transportation hub and promoting the development of the interconnected transportation hub system.
