中西方城市郊区化之辨——兼论中国城市是否进入郊区化阶段

该文通过对郊区化概念的解读,指出对郊区化概念的引用应该深刻分析其产生的社会背景,采取审慎的态度。通过对比中西方郊区化的结果、范围,城市发展的阶段、主体,分析中国城市现在所处的发展状态与美国城市郊区化的差别,深入的透析中国城市是否进入郊区化阶段这一争论焦点。最后得出中国的城市化进入了西方城市所没有经历的阶段,并非西方的郊区化阶段。     

Spinning the web: New social contacts of Prague’s suburbanites

Suburbanization is one of the most important processes changing the nature of metropolitan regions in Europe’s post-socialist countries. This paper evaluates the importance of social contacts of new suburbanites on local level social cohesion and development. The paper employs examples from empirical research into new suburban communities in the Prague metropolitan region of the Czech Republic. Our results show that both internal and external social ties are developing in such newly built areas, which is important for the well-being of both the neighborhood and the municipality. Internal ties foster the social cohesion of a neighborhood, while external ties encourage development of the whole municipality (e.g., via political participation or informal contacts).

RobertFishman的郊区化研究述评与启示

RobertFishman教授的“中产阶级乌托邦”、“科技型新城”、“全球型郊区”三篇文章分别提出了中产阶级行为价值取向的研究视角、“郊区走向消亡，科技型新城的兴起”的观点、发展中国家全球型郊区的假设，使我们对郊区化有更加深刻的认识。郊区化对西方发达国家的城市产生过重要影响，本文希望通过对RobertFishman的郊区化研究在纵向尺度上的述评研究，获得对未来中国郊区化与城市发展研究的一些有益借鉴与启发。     

The evolution of spatial patterns of residential segregation in Central European Cities: The Łódź Functional Urban Region from mature socialism to mature post-socialism

Two themes dominated the study of socio-spatial change in Central Eastern Europe (CEE) after 1990. One was that the development of urban regions in CEE after the demise of socialism is characterized by suburbanization. The second topic raises the issue of growing residential segregation. Unfortunately, studies on patterns of residential segregation are still scarce in the CEE context, in particular those that employ traditional measures of segregation. Relying on solid empirical materials from the 1988 and 2002 National Censuses, the purpose of this paper is to map and analyze the patterns of residential segregation in the ?ód? Functional Urban Region, an old industrial urban region in Poland undergoing a rapid deconcentration and shrinkage of the core area. This contribution concludes that the first decade of systemic transition resulted in decreasing residential segregation, as gauged by global measures of segregation.     

Residential Experiences and the Culture of Suburbanization: A Case Study of Portuguese Homebuyers in Mississauga

This paper examines the housing experiences of immigrants to Canada through a survey of first-generation Portuguese homebuyers in Mississauga, a suburb of Toronto. The survey focused on the push/pull factors leading to their decision to live in the suburbs, their housing search strategies, and their use of services in Mississauga and in the initial area of Portuguese immigrant settlement in downtown Toronto. This study uses data from a questionnaire administered to 110 Portuguese homebuyers in 1990, shortly after their first move to suburban Mississauga; a sample of those respondents were re-interviewed in 2003. The evidence indicates that these immigrants were ‘pulled’ into relocating to Mississauga because of their desire to live in a single-family dwelling in a good neighbourhood. Their housing search relied extensively on ethnic sources of information, particularly Portuguese real estate agents. In general, this group of immigrants expressed satisfaction with their move. The Portuguese community in Mississauga is characterized by a form of voluntary segregation, which seems to be partly a result of their reliance on their own ethnic community for information, language barriers to participating in non-Portuguese activities, and a cultural preference for living near people of the same ethnic background. One consequence of this re-segregation process, by which Portuguese people recreate a Portuguese ‘homeland’ in the suburbs, has been the limitation of their social contacts with members of other ethnic communities that have also settled in suburban Mississauga.     

郊区化背景下的广州城市拓展

郊区化是目前中国大城市的发展趋势。城市在郊区化过程中不可避免地向外围拓展。城市如何拓展。如何避免城乡一体化过程中城市郊区的空间混乱、是摆在当前的一项重要课题。作者以广州市为例，对以上问题作了初步的探讨。     

中国大城市发展的新动向——城市郊区化

本文通过对北京、上海等大城市的实地考察和分析发现，中国大城市的郊区化己经开始，文章从中心商业区衰退、工厂郊迁、郊区大型平价商城建设、郊外别墅区和远郊度假区出现等五个方面描述了城市郊区化现象，并就郊区化的形成和特点进行了讨论。
