Abstract
Based on discussing the significant spatial heterogeneity of the three components of productive forces, this paper systematically analyzes the changes of regional attributes and spatial structure brought about by the emergence of new quality productive forces. Then, the basic law of the distribution of new quality productive forces is discussed from three aspects, such as new factors of new quality productive forces, territorial production complexes and national network systems. Subsequently, the evolution trends of new quality productive forces distribution is revealed. It is concluded that the mechanism of new transformation of production relations lies in the realization of the value of knowledge and the rationalization of benefit sharing, the changes and adaptive management of labor relations caused by digital intelligence, and the tradeoff between regional disequilibrium and spatial fairness caused by scientific and technological innovation ability. Repositioning the regional major functions, re-examining the regional comparative advantages and development paths, and re-constructing the interaction between different major functional zones are the main aspects of constructing the institutional system adapting to the new production relations based on the strategy of the major functional zones. The key points of supporting reforms to develop new quality productive forces according to local conditions are as follows: Focusing on improving scientific and technological innovation capacity, forming a mechanism and institution for the integration of science, technology, education and talents with local characteristics; focusing on scientific and technological innovation-driven development, forming a mechanism and institution for the spatial coupling and coordinated development of innovation chain and industrial chain; focusing on the systematic planning of a coordinated national response, forming a mechanism and institution for the production network and system for the formation of new quality productive forces by giving full play to the comparative advantages of different regions; focusing on open economic patterns, forming a mechanism and institution for new quality productive forces with competitive security and resilience. © 2025 Science Press.
