The construction of the Yangtze River Delta Ecological Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone is the need to implement the important development strategy of Yangtze River Delta integration. Livability is an important starting point of ‘eco-green’, which is an important embodiment of the people-centered approach to scientific development. Taking the road of sustainable development, the sustainable construction of regional integration is the scientific road and the inevitable choice for the construction of the demonstration area. Based on the general background of the integration construction of the Yangtze River Delta Demonstration Zone, this paper constructs the evaluation index system related to livability by considering the construction standards of livable cities and combining the big data word frequency analysis method. The weights of the indicators are determined by the CRITIC entropy weighting method, and the degree of integrated development of the demonstration area is evaluated by the coupled synergy degree model, which analyses the livability and degree of synergy of the districts and counties in the Yangtze River Delta Demonstration Area. The following conclusions are drawn: among the demonstration zones, Qingpu District has a stronger livability capacity, and Wujiang District is the weakest; the degree of coordination of livability capacity building in the demonstration zones has gradually changed from primary dysfunction to intermediate coordination, and the degree of construction coupling is at a high coupling stage, with a greater mutual influence, and the overall trend of development is orderly, with better development potential.
