Abstract: Studying the coordinated development level of regional ecological environment and social economy from the perspective of urban agglomeration is an objective need to comply with the socio-economic transformation and development in China. To establish an evaluation index system for the coordinated development of the ecological environment and social economy of urban agglomerations based on the harmonious development relationship between the ecological environment and the social economy, panel data based on the three major urban agglomerations of Beijing, Tianjin, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta in 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016, Comprehensive Evaluation and Comparative Analysis of Coordinated Development of Eco-environment and Social Economy in Three Major City Clusters. The results show that, 1) the three major urban agglomerations experienced slower ecological and socio-economic development between 2008 and 2016. 2) the ecological environment and socio-economic development of the three major urban agglomerations are generally in a state of incoordination. The f(x) and g(x) values in most cities are significantly different. 3) there is a large gap between the coordinated development of the three major urban agglomerations in the ecological environment and social economy. In accordance with the regional core competitiveness and the practical problems faced in its development, it is necessary to formulate a transformation strategy.
