Abstract: The level of urban comprehensive service function reflects the ability of a city's sustained, coordinated and healthy development. With continuous expansion of city's scale, finding key driving forces to enhance urban comprehensive service function, and developing its subsystems and elements co-ordinately have become an important basis for government. An urban comprehensive service function mainly includes five subsystems: transportation, financial, trade and business, high-end manufacturing and social environment service. Interactions among these subsystems are generally nonlinear and constrained by external factors. Firstly, theoretical analysis and expert consultation method are used to select state parameters which are representative, available and reliable. Secondly, by establishing a collaborative development model, we quantitatively describe the nonlinear interaction among the five subsystems, and obtain order parameters. Finally, a China city, Tianjin, is selected to illustrate the mathematical model. The result corresponds to the actual development of the city in recent years.

Keywords: urban comprehensive service function; collaborative development model; self-organisation; order parameter.
