Abstract
After entering twentieth Century, it becomes more and more serious on regional spatial polarization, regional imbalance development and regional dysfunctional conflicts in Coastal Megalopolis of China (CMC, for short). This paper attempts to discover the characters and rules on spatial-temporal differences, regional imbalance pattern and functional complementary of CMC economic development from the year of 2000 to 2012. First, CMC regional spatial polarization pattern research was carried on by using the system cluster analysis, then followed by spatial imbalance pattern research with concentration index, Gini index, coefficient of variation and the coefficient of range, then investigated regional complementary research by using industrial map to reflect the complementary functions of city function and city group of CMC.
