A Study On The Spatial Restructuring And Key Supporting Of The City Community In West China

In this research, "A Study on the Spatial Restructuring and Key Supporting of the City community in West China" is proposed for the subject selection. Based on the theory cardings and extensions to the formation and development of the city and the city group, the comparison and generalization to the special path and historical features of the city community development in West China, the analysis and refining to the development status and dilemma of the Western city community development, In view of the macroscopic background of the city community leading the region and the world economic development, combined with the special political, economic, social, cultural and environmental development reality in the West, This research is trying to solve the core problem which is how to choose the spatial organization form of the city community and what to support its development in the new period of western China. Starting from the theory analysis of the Spatial Restructuring to the City community in West China, this study put forward a multi-Core-periphery city community as its spatial organization form, determine the key development area, and take Chengdu-Chongqing dual-Core-periphery city community for empirical, analyze the growth path, the growth mechanism and the stage of the multi-Core-periphery city community, Finally propose the cultivate path of the economic base and the strategy for institutional arrangements as the core support of the multi-Core-periphery city community.In Western countries, there are many classical theories about the formation and development of the city and city community, such as agricultural location theory and industrial location theory, comparative advantage theory,scale economy theory and agglomeration economy theory of the Urban Economics, Core-periphery theory of the Spatial Economics, which can all illustrate the emergence and development of the city from the perspective of the industrial development. Moreover, central place theory, space interaction theory, point-axis network theory, external economic theory, and urban system Core-periphery theory of the Spatial Economics explain the intrinsic mechanism of the city community formation and development from the perspective of the industrial regional extension and the industrial correlation development. That is to say, the Western classical theories of urban development are all from the perspective of industrial development and evolution to study the development and evolution of the city and the city community. Because the urbanization of Western developed countries is driven by the completion of industrialization, and the industrialization is promoted in a free competitive market economic environment, the Western urbanization theory attaches great importance to the promotion of industry support, but it relatively lacks the Connotation of urbanization institutional arrangement and system construction.The development of city community in western China has experienced a unique historical path, which is different from the western developed countries promoted by industrialization. In the early and middle stage of Chinese Feudal Society, the urban development of the western China was once in China and the world leading level, but in the late its development began to lag behind the eastern region, and the gap was greater and greater. In modern times, though it developed, its gap between the nation and the world not only failed to narrow, but also increase. After the founding of the PRC, during the "156" and "three-line" construction period, the western production cities developed rapidly, and the gap narrowed rapidly. But the reform and opening up since 1978, as a result of national policies tilted in the eastern coastal areas, the city development gap between the western and the eastern expanded further and rapidly. Therefore, the history of this particular path determined the process of its urban development with strong historical character, that is, a weak infrastructure for urban development, a concentrated region for urban stationing, a closed urban cycle, and so on.From the status quo of the western city community development, its problem not only the shortage number of cities, the rareness density, the low level of urbanization, and the poor comprehensive competitiveness of city community, but also the city community further development is exposed to some special plight, such as insufficient space system, weak economic foundation, and unbalanced urban system structure. In the system arrangement, the development of the western city community is faced with fundamental economic system defects (incomplete market mechanism and the inherent shortcomings of market mechanisms), the overall deficiencies in institutional arrangements (urban deflection and rural neglect), deficiencies in institutional arrangements for industrial layout (the layout of the national command associated with local deficiencies), factor mobility of the institutional arrangements defects (the unlimited city obtained from and the limited in rural areas return), deficiencies in institutional arrangements for urban settings (set up the administrative examination and approval and to strengthen the executive-level) constraints. From the economic base of the western city community development, the western development of the city is faced with constraints which is not only the development of agriculture in rural poverty and backwardness, the low level of industrial development and the irrational industrial structure, but also "Virtual High" of the tertiary industry, especially the influence and constraint of the inadequate development in the productive of the service industry. From the architecture analysis of the western city, the hierarchical size structure, the functional composite structures, or the regional spatial structure are in imbalance state. The imbalance of hierarchical size structure is mainly performance for the serious fault of the major cities level, the imbalance in the structure of the functions of portfolio performance for the vast majority of the main level and above the functions of the convergence of the city, there is no rational division of labor between regional cities, urban regional spatial structure of geographical imbalance mainly reflected in the limited number and size of China's western region and the urban population concentrated in a few smaller regional. According to the special difficulties, meanwhile, based on the interactional theory between the structure and function, this study put forward the development path of breaking the plight of the western city community-the spatial reconstruction of the city community in the support of industry and system.Core-periphery structure is the general form of spatial organization in the development of today's world region and city community. But the empirical analysis of the western region concludes that development of the western city and evolvement of urban system does not comply with the Core-periphery model of the Spatial Economics. Therefore, this study intend to extend the Core-periphery model of the Spatial Economics joining the elements of industrial linkages and institutional arrangements, which is as the theoretical basis for putting forward the spatial pattern of organization for space reconstruction in West China city community, combined with the actual situation of the western region, that is, the multi-Core-periphery city community. On this basis, we give a preliminary theoretical definition about the multi-Core-periphery city community:The geographical distribution with the very ecological significance of community; The spatial structure with multi-Core-periphery levered city community pattern; In industrial support, different types of industrial development to support all levels of space development, industrial relationship and networking development among cities to cause multiple linkages and networking development of Core-periphery-hinterland, industrial hierarchy network development to promote the development of cities form a reasonable level of inter-network structure; In the system arrangement, urban and rural areas, neighboring cities, or different levels of development between cities to coordinate,cooperate and compete, instead of the binary division and administrative division, with "economic zone" system arrangements to replace the "Economic Region" institutional arrangements; In the city function, to strengthen economic agglomeration and diffusion function, besides, focus on urban development, social and ecological functions.According to these special plights, the characteristic spatial organization form of the western city community development needs political, economic, social, cultural, environmental and other elements of comprehensive support. Chapter 6 of this study analyzes the growth path, growth mechanism and the support system of the multi-Core-periphery city community in West China. On this basis, economic base nurturing and system space expanding are the core support in the development of the western city community. In the economic basis, the industrial community supports the development of the city community, and explores the different levels of multi-Core-periphery city community support for the industry. Prominent in the system is the system development to expand system space, with particularly focus on the overall institutional arrangements, economic arrangements, and arrangements for the political system, which can eventually set up institutional basis promoting the development of the multi-Core-periphery city community. Special natural and geographical environment determines that it is impossible to promote a comprehensive process of urbanization in the majority of the western region, but can only be better choices of better natural and geographical environment, better economic development to key cities, achieve the aim of key city community to drive the overall development of the western economy. In the chapter 7, in the background of main functional region strategy, the use of the space interaction theory and the empirical analysis of the city community formation and development, taking into account its natural conditions, economic base and the dynamic mechanism, as well as attractive the central city to the periphery and mutual attraction coefficient between adjacent cities in central cities.The Chengdu-Chongqing dual-Core-periphery city community, the Nanning-Guiyang-Kunming trinal-Core-periphery city community, the Xian-Lanzhou dual-Core-periphery city community, the Huhehaote-Baotou-Yinchuan trinal-Core-periphery city community, which are all the key areas of multi-Core-periphery city community development in West China, and this paper puts forward the future development strategy of the Chengdu-Chongqing-Xian-Lanzhou four-Core-periphery city community in West China.This study takes Chengdu-Chongqing dual-Core-periphery city community for empirical analysis of its economic base cultivating and institutional arrangements building, and concludes the foster path and the cultivating stages of the Chengdu-Chongqing dual-Core-periphery city community under the industry and system support.This study fully absorbs previous studies, on this basis, it expands in the following research fields and research contents:In theory research, the formation and development theory of Western classical cities and city community is carded and generalized in this study, and on the basis of the Core-periphery model of the Spatial Economics, adding elements of the industry linkage and institutional arrangements analysis of the Core-periphery model, putting forward a conceptual theoretical framework of multi-Core-periphery city communityOn research contents, this study makes a comprehensive analysis of the western city community on the development path, development characteristics, development situation, and the difficulties, based on the expansion of the Core-periphery theoretical model, proposes that the spatial reconstruction patterns of the Chinese community in the western city is a multi-Core-periphery city community, and gives it a preliminary theory defined; At the same time, multi-Core-periphery city community in western China, the development of which is the key areas to select, and the paper puts forward the future development strategy of the Chengdu-Chongqing-Xian-Lanzhou four-Core-periphery city community in western China. Finally, this study carries out the empirical research on the city cultivating and its industrial support and institutional arrangements.The in-depth analysis on developing history, current situation and existing predicaments of the west urban agglomeration lays a solid foundation for the research following, which pay great attention to the pretty state of affairs, especially to the special reconstruction, spatial framework, main regions, economic foundation and institutional arrangement. This thesis is dedicated to build a multi-Corn-periphery urban agglomeration suitable for environment, economic traits and social formation, as well as the main planning regions, economic foundation cultivation, institutional arrangement construction.In terms of research approach, the portfolio cooperates well in this study. The theoretical approach is driven to develop the spatial economics theories of regional model and urban system model to form the expanded multi-Core-periphery theory, which is tried to apply o the context of the urban agglomerations in West China and the analysis of their reconstruction in space. The historical analytical method makes a good job of comparative analysis on the special developing route and historical features of these urban agglomerations. A comprehensive analysis carries out on the base of quantitative analysis method to discuss the structure of urban systems, structure of urban functions and evolutionary process of urban agglomerations. The spatial analysis method works well in the research of spatial framework, spatial character, sterical hindrance and developing form, as well as the corn regions and their implementation methods. Finally, this thesis attempts to establish an integrated system of multi-Core-periphery in several main urban agglomerations in West China according to empirical research method, involving the spatial reconstruction strategy, spatial framework cultivation, economic foundation construction, institutional arrangement environment and specific measure system.
