Spatial organization of urban clusters is a process of coupling effect resulted fromvarious factors in the self-organization and other organizations, including grading ofurban size in urban clusters, characteristics of spatial pattern in the evolution of thestructure, and the transformation in function division based on space structure. Theresearch of urban agglomeration spatial organization is a complicated problem, theremay involve elements subject. From the perspective of industry, structure and space willbe the two key elements which reflect the relationship between evolution of urbanagglomeration and development of industry, which can be observed in the reflect ofindustrial concentration and diffusion in urban scale level and spatial characteristics andthe function division system. This paper provides a new theoretic support for theoptimization of urban agglomeration spatial structure, the upgrading of the industrialtransformation and development of regional integration. On the other side, it also offerssome suggestion about policy making as for the increase of urban agglomeration spatialefficiency in the Yangtze River Delta, the coordination of urbanization and industrialdevelopment, and the construction of production specialization.There are three significant sections in this paper: the review of theory and literature,theoretical analysis and empirical study. We expect to conclude the shortage of thepresent research and possible improvement, and then make a progress in this paper,which is based on the study in domestic and abroad research. As for theoretical research,this paper discusses the mechanism of urban agglomeration spatial organization andinherent law driven by industrial concentration and diffusion through the combinationof the mathematical model and normative analysis, which is from industrial economicsperspective and based on spatial economy and city geography. In empirical study, wechoose the22cities in urban clusters of Yangtze river delta as the experiment object andmake advantage of some software as Ucinet, GeoDa to study the interaction between theindustrial concentration (diffusion) and urban agglomeration spatial organization with avariety of analysis method. This paper also examines the validity of the proposition putby our theory analysis. The conclusions of this paper are as follow:1. The observation in urban agglomeration spatial pattern depends on the spatial distribution and movement. The economic transactions and the diffusion of industry intraffic, communication and power supply among the polar nucleus cities which arecaused by industrial concentration, which make a contribution to the formation of urbanagglomeration shaft structure and layer structures. Innovation of technology andconvenient communication make the dependence in the development of the industry tolocation lower and the relationship among polar nucleus cities increasingly closer, shaftscrisscrossing, layers highlighting and present a network form in space.2. The formation of urban agglomeration level scale system is caused by theconcentration and diffusion in industries which have different price index effect. Andthere exist structural characteristics in urban clusters diffusion. The industry with higherprice effect will concentrate in the central cities while the lower will diffuse to therelatively small city in scale, and the lower price effect is, the smaller scale of city is.3. The economic transactions in region are depending on comparative advantageswhich are decided by endowment such as labor and capital, i.e. each region shouldengage in the industry which used the relatively affluent elements. The function of citywill be strengthened due to industrial concentration. And the optimization in division oflabor system can be acquired by industrial diffusion.
