The spatial and temporal evolution patterns of the economic resilience of the three major urban agglomerations in China from 2011 to 2019 and the influencing factors were quantitatively analyzed using ENTROPY, AHP hierarchical analysis, GIS spatial analysis and Delphi methods: (1) The economic resilience of China's three major urban agglomerations has been on a year-on-year upward trend, but the gap has increased year by year, indicating a weak capacity for synergistic upgrading. (2)The economic resilience all demonstrate a core-edge spatial distribution pattern of “The core-edge spatial distribution pattern is the highest, the geographically adjacent cities the second highest and the peripheral cities the lowest”. (3)The rate of university students has a significantly positive impact on the increase of economic resilience, foreign direct investment, urban construction and urbanization rate as well as urban GDP growth rate have less impact on the increase of economic resilience and economic agglomeration has uncertainty on the increase of economic resilience. In the future, China's three major urban agglomerations should develop synergistic measures to enhance economic resilience in terms of narrowing the gap between urban agglomerations and strengthening inter-city economic relationships.
