从区域的角度来理解城市郊区化

郊区化在西方国家的发生过程已经有基本固定的模式,国外学者对郊区化的研究能够在概念上统一起来;国内的“郊区化”研究必须针对中国城市发展的特点,从概念定义到模式过程都不可能照搬国外成果,因此在一些基础认识上还没有实现必要的一致。本文回顾了近年来国内郊区化研究的成果,尤其重点考察了现有国情下有关“郊区化”的一些重要概念。结合目前同样是热点的城市空间发展的研究成果,本文认为,如果从区域的角度来理解郊区化的概念,我国的郊区化实际上是城市发展从集中到扩散的一个过渡阶段,是城市与其郊区共同发展的一种过程。

To Understand the Concept Of Sub-urbanization From a Regional Perspective

The development process of sub-urban-ization in foreign countries has a fixed pattern, andthe related researches can be united conceptually.The development of Chinese cities is quiet differentfrom that of any foreign countries. The concept of'sub-urbanization', the pattern, and the course areall different. But, under the effect of foreign scholars'achievement on this field, some domestic research-ers insist on working based on foreign studies, assome others try to make out the problem based on afirst study of the status in quo of China. With a re-view of recent domestic studies of sub-urbanization,it is believed that in China it is the new phase ofurbanization, symbolizing the changing of urbandevelopment from centralization to diffusion.However, it's a course of development both in urbanareas and in their suburban areas. In a sense, if beingconsidered in relation to the aspect of regionaldevelopment, the concept of sub-urbanization canbe more properly understood.
