As an emerging service industry, the logistics industry organically integrates the logistics resources and functions of the industry to exert the synergistic effect of “1+1>2”. Its network structure and location characteristics are of great significance for optimization of urban planning layout and rational allocation of resources. In recent years, China has planned three major regional development strategies, namely the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the “One Belt, One Road” initiative and the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. Both as the important logistics hub in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the inland node cities in the “Belt and Road”, the logistics industry of Shanghai and Wuhan has ushered in tremendous opportunities and challenges. How to use geographical advantages to promote its logistics influence has great strategic significance for coordinating economic development and industrial structure upgrading in various regions of the Yangtze River Basin. At present, domestic research on the logistics industry mostly has less sample data and lack of empirical analysis. Compared with traditional data collecting resource from enterprise yellow pages and questionnaires, the logistics POI (Point of Interest) data has the advantages of large sample size and complete geographic information. Taking Shanghai and Wuhan as research object, collecting their logistics POI data based on Baidu Map API Platform, and using the methods of concentration evaluation and logistics nuclear density analysis, this paper compares and analyzes the logistics activities of the said two cities, finds out the identity and difference of their spatial pattern and location feature, to provide relevant reference for the professional development of the logistics industry.
