With the strengthening of cross-regional flows economy, information, innovation, and population, this paper constructs a network model multi-flow integration analyzes spatial pattern influencing factors urban networks in Chengdu-Chongqing Urban Agglomeration using social analysis technology. The main conclusions are as follows. (1) density efficiency transition stage from primary level to medium comprehensive network. (2) overall keeps polyhedral pyramid structure with Chengdu ↔ Chongqing core axis, grade each axis has been significantly raised. (3) Four groups formed method show geographic proximity effect. In addition, connections within group relatively close, but between different. (4) Location conditions, economic development level, enterprise scientific research investment, technological government support have greater impact on formation agglomeration. Information application transportation accessibility small human capital not yet produced significant impact.
