Urban development, or regional urbanization, in essence is the process of concentrating regional production and promoting economic modernization. The coastal region in China now has an advanced economy and a high degree of urban concentration. Several metropolitan areas have formed here. As a result of the open policy of the last 10 years, five Special Economic Zones (SEZs) were established and 14 coastal port cities opened, which gave the coastal area a new urban development pattern. This paper primarily studies the location factors of urban development, the evolving pattern of cities, and the characteristics of urban spatial distribution. Based on data and empirical investigation, it also examines the rationality of patterns of urban spatial distribution and urban development trends over time. Finally, it provides a theoretical basis not only for regional urban development and city planning studies, but also for the study of urban geography
