Abstract
The development of the concept of growth as the mainstream has led to the neglect of the shrinkage phenomenon in China. However, identifying shrinkage areas is significant for regional coordinated development and urban-rural integration. There are few studies on shrinking areas from the perspective of the spatial networks and the characteristics of towns in the urban-rural spatial networks. The study identifies shrinking towns based on traditional demographic data in the Shanghai metropolitan area, then uses massive mobile phone positioning data to build urban-rural and rural-rural population flow networks to analyze the characteristics of shrinking towns and put forward planning strategies. This study explores shrinking towns from a new perspective of spatial networks and provides references for implementing shrinking area management policies.
