中国城市群可持续发展研究——基于理念及其评价分析

城市群是国家或地区参与国际竞争的重要主体,更是推进城市化进程的主体形态.打破城市群内部各城市间的行政壁垒,实现行政边界、地理边界和经济边界的耦合,以城市群整体实现可持续发展是单个城市实现可持续发展的必由之路.文章在回顾可持续发展理论的基础上,系统阐述了从城市可持续发展到城市群可持续发展转变的必要性及城市群可持续发展的特征,并采用规范分析方法考察了中国21个城市群可持续发展的现状,研究发现:中国城市群可持续发展能力呈现东高西低的空间分布格局;珠三角、长三角、京津冀和山东半岛4个城市群属于高水平可持续发展型,其余17个城市群可持续发展能力不足.基于研究结论,笔者认为可从提高资源使用效率、优化空间结构、“有效市场”和“有为政府”相结合三方面着手提升中国城市群可持续发展能力.

Sustainable development of urban agglomeration in China: from concept to evaluation

Urban agglomeration is the main body of the country or region to participate in international competition, and it is the main form of the urbanization process in China. By breaking among administrative boundaries and geographical boundaries and economic boundary of the cities of the urban agglomeration, implementing three boundary coupling, the sustainable development of urban agglomerations as a whole is the only road to stimulate the sustainable development of local city. On the basis of the review of the sustainable development theory, this paper uses data to study the development of urban agglomeration in China, the results show that:generally speaking, the sustainable development of China''s urban agglomeration score is low; The four urban agglomerations of the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze river delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and Shandong Peninsula belong to the high level of sustainable development, and the other urban agglomerations are not capable of sustainable development. The sustainable development capacity of urban agglomeration can be promoted from three aspects:improving the efficiency of resource use, optimizing the space structure, adhering to the combination of government and market.
