Study On Rapid Transportation System Planning In Metropolitan Area

When human society has roundly entered the urban age, the trend of urban regionalization and region urbanization is becoming more and more obvious. The central city and surrounding towns constitute a combination of Metropolitan Area (circle) to participate in regional and global competition. Facing an important leap in the process of urbanization, forming Metropolitan Area to drive urbanization, enhancing urban competitiveness and co-ordinating regional development have become significant strategic choice of urban development. But the urban transportation problem which is getting worse has become a constraint for the process of promoting actively urbanization and Metropolitan Area development. The requirement for constructing rapid transportation system in Metropolitan Area is becoming more and more urgent.On the important strategic occasion of national economic development, rapid transportation systems in Metropolitan Area are energetically being built in our country, "twelfth five year development planning" and the 2030 urban master planning is being authorized steadily. Therefore, the study on rapid transportation system planning in Metropolitan Area has become an important and urgent research topic.Making mode of rapid transportation system in Metropolitan Area as guide, this paper studies space evolution of Metropolitan Area under the influence of rapid transportation system as pointcut, analyzes the status of Metropolitan Area development under the different transportation modes, and puts forward mode of rapid transportation system in Metropolitan Area fit for China's actual conditions.Based on Metropolitan Area rapid roadway system and rapid railway system planning, this paper studies case of Suzhou Metropolitan Area, along with other experience in building Metropolitan Area at home and abroad, and summarizes principles, ideas and methods of rapid transportation system planning in Metropolitan Area. Making rapid transportation system integrated planning in Metropolitan Area as command, this paper suggests on transportation corridor planning as premise, transportation hub planning as foundation, institutions and mechanisms building as protect, to achieve intensive, harmonious, continuable development of rapid transportation system in Metropolitan Area.
