中外城市边缘区相关概念辨析与学科发展趋势

城市边缘区不仅是城市空间和文明扩张的承载地,也是城市与外部区域物质与能量交换的集散地。目前,城市边缘区已成为城市空间中变化量最大、变化最迅速、最敏感的地带,城市边缘区土地、人口、经济、生态环境、社会发展的合理与否直接关系着城市自身可持续发展策略的实施。本文通过对近20年国际国内权威期刊的文献分析,梳理了中外边缘区相关理论和学科发展趋势,对“城市边缘区”、“城乡结合部”、“郊区”等概念进行了辨析,以廓清目前学术边界的混乱;并比较了中外城市边缘区理论研究的异同。

Currently, urban fringe has become the fastest and most sensitive zone with biggest change in urban space.
