Abstract

With the deepening of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area strategy and the accelerated integration and development of the east and west sides of the Pearl River Estuary, Zhuhai’s hub position is becoming more and more prominent. The city of Zhuhai has a dense water network and is divided into two urban areas, the east and the west, under the influence of the Mordor Gate waterway. Based on the theory of spatial syntax, this paper carries out an analytical study on the urban spatial structure of Zhuhai, identifies the distribution characteristics of urban POIs, and provides theoretical support for the urban development of Zhuhai.
