城镇化的经济学逻辑论析

A Brief Analysis on Urbanization from the Perspective of Economic Logic

中国正处于经济转型升级关键时期,城镇化进程中数亿农民转化为城镇人口会释放更大的市场需求,有助于缓解内需不足,并为经济发展和转型创造机会。然而,我国城镇化进程中的外部约束条件扭曲了城镇化的实现形式,造成了一系列问题。这不仅阻碍了我国城镇化进程,而且也影响了城镇化积极效应的发挥,并造成了严重的社会和经济问题。本文剖析城镇化的一般逻辑,在埃德温·米尔斯的城市形成模型基础上构建了一般意义上的城镇化模型,分析我国城镇化的外部约束和内在逻——针对性地提出了坚持产业主导、适时破除外部约束、创新城镇化模式等建议。

China is in the critical period of economic transformation and upgrading. In the urbanization process, hundreds of millions of farmers’ turning into urban population will release a larger domestic demand, which will help to alleviate the deficiency of domestic demand, and create opportunities for economic development and transformation. However, in the process of China’ s urbanization, the external constraints have distorted the realization form of the urbanization, and caused a series of problems. They have not only hindered the process of China’ s urbanization, but also reduced the urbanization positive effect and caused serious social and economic problems. This paper analyzes the general logic of urbanization, constructs urbanization model in general sense based on the Edwin Mills’ city formation model, analyzes the external constraints and internal logic of China ’ s urbanization and finally puts forward some suggestions such as industry leading the urbanization process, getting rid of the external constraints, innovating urbanization pattern and so on.
