[Objective] The spatial and temporal evolution of land use in Chongqing City were analyzed, and the relationship between the evolution characteristics of land use transformation and landscape pattern response and urbanization was explored in order to provide data support for ecological-production-living spaces land planning and sustainable development of urbanization in Chongqing City.[Methods] A land use classification criteria was constructed based on the perspective of the functional classification of ecological-productional-living spaces; utilizing land remote sensing images and nighttime lighting data in 2000, 2010, and 2020; and adopting the transfer matrix, correlation analysis, and regression analysis methods.[Results] ① From 2000 to 2020, the productional and ecological space of Chongqing City generally decreased, and the living space continued to expand. From 2000 to 2010, the productional and ecological space decreased by 191.87 km² and 252.95 km², respectively, and the living space increased by 446.03 km². From 2010 to 2020, the productional space decreased by 13.76 km², ecological space decreased by 324.05 km², and living space increased by 314.87 km². ② The shift of productional functions to living functions was more obvious in Chongqing City. As urbanization intensified, ecological space shifted significantly to productional space, and the shift in function was obviously gathered in the central region of Chongqing City. ③ The spatial landscape fragmentation of Chongqing City decreased, the landscape complexity gradually increased, and the forest, grass, and water ecological space dominated. ④ There were differences in the influence of land use area changes on nighttime light in 2000-2010 and in 2010-2020. In 2000, changes in urban living space and rural living space played a dominant role in influencing changes in nighttime light, while changes in industrial production space and urban living space in 2020 had a stronger influence on changes in nighttime light.[Conclusion] Various types of space in Chongqing City have been transformed into each other, and the relationship between changes in different ecological-productional-living spaces types and urbanization has been utilized to promote the coordinated development of land planning and urbanization.
