With the method of standard variance and fuzzy membership function, this article establishes an urban potential index system for the Silk Road Economic Belt in China to analyze the spatial difference of urban potential at prefecture-level and county-level. The main results are obtained as follows: (1) The urban potential is low in the Silk Road Economic Belt in China, showing clear gaps between eastern, central and western regions. (2) There is obvious decrease of urban potential level surrounding the central cities in the Silk Road Economic Belt in China. (3) The social development level and innovation level are limited factors and the latter one is more significant, therefore, increasing innovation investment is an effective way to improve the urban potential level.
Key words: urban potential; spatial difference; Silk Road Economic Belt
