全球城市区域中的小城镇发展特征与趋势研究——以长江三角洲为例

基于全球城市区域的视角构建长江三角洲地区小城镇发展演化的理论逻辑,认为全球化生产网络的构建、高快速交通网络的完善、高品质集约发展的诉求以及社会消费需求的升级等全球城市区域的发展特征是推动区域内小城镇加速差异化发展的主要外部因素。四方面外部因素与小城镇自身资源禀赋的结合使得长江三角洲当前小城镇的发展加速呈现为三种类型:都市一体化型、区域增长极型、公共服务中心型。区域内非都市一体化类型的小城镇,进一步发展将主要表现为三种趋势:成长为拥有综合功能的小城市;发展为兼具特色和活力的旅游服务型聚落;成为承担广大农村地域服务职能的公共设施中心。

STUDY ON DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS AND TRENDS OF SMALL TOWNS IN THE GLOBAL CITY-REGION:A CASE STUDY ON YANGTZE RIVER DELTA

From the perspective of global city-region,this paper tries to establish the theory of small town's evolution in the Yangtze River Delta.The development characteristics of global city-region,such as globalized production network,high-speed transportation network,high-quality intensive development need,and the upgrading of social consumption demand,are the main external factors that accelerate the differentiated development of small towns.Based on the combination of the external factors and the natural resources of small towns,the current development of small towns in the Yangtze River Delta can be divided into three types,which are metropolitan integration,regional growth pole,and public service center.For the small towns that do not belong to the metropolitan integration type,there are three development trends in the future,i.e.,to become small cities with comprehensive functions,to develop into the featured and vigorous tourism service centers,and to become the public facility centers that provide service for the large rural area.
