The high-speed rail network exerts a multifaceted influence on the spatial structure of urban agglomerations. While the reduced cost of regional factor flows has the potential to enhance overall economic efficiency, it also reinforces the advantages of central towns, leading to a “siphon effect” on surrounding small and medium-sized cities, exacerbating imbalances in urban development. The conventional “Land-use Transportation Interaction” theory, centered on location accessibility, falls short in explaining the intricate network effects of high-speed rail on urban agglomeration spatial structures. This article adopts an approach grounded in the “Space of Flows” paradigm, considering both “transfer” (exclusive of time and space, e.g., capital and labor) and “sharing” (non-exclusive of time and space, e.g., information and technology) effects of factor flows. It analyzes the cascading effects of the “high-speed rail network-factor transfer and sharing-urban agglomeration spatial structure”. Using Wuhan Urban Agglomeration as a case study, the research employs big spatial data (i.e., population migration) extracted from network location-based services to identify and measure factor transfer and sharing among cities and towns. Then, a set of spatial models and “What-if” analyses were applied to demonstrate the impact of the high-speed rail network on factor transfer, sharing, and the overall spatial structure of the urban agglomeration. The findings reveal a heterogeneous impact of high-speed rail development on the spatial structure of Wuhan Urban Agglomeration. The high-speed rail development propels labor transfer from surrounding small and medium-sized towns to central cities, creating a discernible polarizing effect on Wuhan’s economy, and presenting challenges to its neighboring cities’ economic development. Simultaneously, high-speed rail facilitates the dissemination of information and technology from central cities to peripheral areas, offering opportunities for regional economic transformation. This study overcomes the shortcomings of previous research, which have often oversimplified the interactions between cities. It established a unified analytical framework to explain the impact of the high-speed rail networks on the spatial structure of urban agglomerations.The research results aim to serve as a policy reference for optimizing the spatial structure of urban agglomerations.
