| Modern regional development theory believes that the center city at the core Metropolitan Region is to promote regional economic growth and the "growth pole" and powerful radiation sources. World practice shows that the economic development of countries, particularly in large urban centres as economic Metropolitan Region composed of regional economic development is of great stimulate and promote the role. In China, since the reform and opening up to the Guangzhou-centred Metropolitan Region has contributed to the rapid economic development of the Pearl River Delta region. Since the 1990s, the Yangtze River Delta with Shanghai as the center Metropolitan Region, the rapid development of China's economy created another miracle;While Beijing centred around north Metropolitan Region also greatly boosted the Bohai development. Analysis and regional development success stories, has become a scientific and rational Metropolitan Region consensus, and to the geographical characteristics of the structure of space research has become a hot research.Xi'an is the quickly ubranilization mega-cities, but also political, economic, trade, science, education, information, transportation center of shannxi province, and to Xi'an for the GuanZhong regions is important towns-intensive areas, the strong industrial base, industrial reasonable infrastructure relative improvement to the conditions better, technology strength, and high rates of technological transformation, is the Asia-Europe continental bridge (China) most developed areas, the development of unique advantages. With urbanization and further development of national implementation of the western development policy, to Xi'an for the center of the radioactive rapid transport system has improved, the core cities-increasing role of regional groups showed typical urban core-moving structure, big growth in Xi'an Metropolitan Region growth period. At the same time, revealed a number of regional issues, such as: urban centres integrated radiation and influence of non-obvious and unclear division of labour between cities, the convergence of industrial structure, repeated construction prominent, environmental degradation, inadequate infrastructure, unreasonable layout, the lack of policy development between urban linkages.This paper addresses Metropolitan Region development through regional development model is the inevitable choice and Metropolitan Region definitions, define the scope of space, functional and space research organizations;On this basis, empirical research Xi'an Metropolitan Region space structures, the analysis of its regional problems encountered in the development, the proposed organizational structure of a space optimization, Metropolitan Region to promote social and economic development. Therefore, the papers not only enrich Metropolitan Region field theory research, but also for the development of Xi'an Metropolitan Region active and effective information and recommendations. |
