ILow-level symbiosisAt this stage of development, the development speed of urban public infrastructure systems is very low, and the impact of urban public infrastructure systems on urban economic, social, and environmental systems is almost 0.

IIPrimary coordinated development stage The development speed of urban public infrastructure system is lower than that of urban economic, social, and environmental system. Urban public infrastructure system can not promote the development of urban economic, social, and environmental system, showing that urban infrastructure system can not carry the development of urban economic, social, and environmental system.

Coordinated development stage The speed of urban public infrastructure system is equal to the urban economic, social, and environmental system, and the urban public infrastructure system and the urban economic, social, and environmental system are coordinated.

Coordinated development stage With the development of the urban public infrastructure system, the two systems began to interact with each other. The restrictions of the urban economic, social, and environmental system on the urban public infrastructure system began to appear, but it was not obvious.

IIIExtreme development stageWith the accelerated development of urban economic, social, and environmental systems, urban public infrastructure systems have increased the demand for urban development, and the contradiction between infrastructure systems and urban systems has emerged, and began to limit the improvement of urban development level.

IVHigh-level coordinated development stageThe composite system gradually transforms into a common development stage, and finally reaches the high-level coordinated development of the urban public infrastructure system and the urban economic, social, and environmental system
