	abstract = {The rapid development of high-speed rail has markedly shortened the travel time from one city to another. However, the impact of space{\textendash}time compression brought about by high-speed rail on city innovation has not received sufficient attention. This paper examines the space{\textendash}time compression phenomenon produced by high-speed railway networks and its impact on city innovation from 2000 to 2019 using a sample of 279 Chinese prefecture-level cities. The empirical results show that there was a strong space{\textendash}time compression during this period. The development of high-speed rail can promote city innovation. However, the construction of high-speed rail also produces a siphon effect, which accelerates the convergence of innovative elements in cities with stronger innovation capabilities. Nevertheless, it has a negative spillover effect on cities with weaker innovation capabilities. Finally, policy recommendations for promoting the balanced development of city innovation and recommendations for future research are presented.},
