Abstract: Quantitative empirical research on port-city coordinated development holds significant strategic implications for regional economic growth. Taking Guangdong Province, China, as an example, this paper constructs a coupling coordination degree model and a spatial Durbin model based on the “port-city” composite system theory to empirically analyze the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of port-city coordination levels from 2013 to 2022 and their spatial effects on urban economic growth. The findings reveal that Guangdong’s port-city coordination exhibits a spatial pattern of “high in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), low in eastern, western, and northern Guangdong.” The dynamic coordination degree indicates an overall optimization trend, though with periodic fluctuations and localized deterioration. Spatial effect analysis demonstrates that port-city coordination significantly promotes local economic growth, with capital stock and transport density being key driving factors.
