新时期珠江三角洲城市群发展战略的思考

Development strategy of the Pearl River Delta Urban Agglomeration under the current socioeconomic situation

近年来,国内外经济形势发生显著变化,以传统制造业为主的珠三角城市群面临新的挑战,珠三角下一步如何发展成为必须解决的新问题。现状,将其与国内外城市群对比,提出了珠三角发展战略思路。研究结果表明:2000-2013年期间,珠三角城市群经济发展速度有所降低,区域经济发展差距逐渐缩小;人口红利面临枯竭;产业结构向高级化转变,经济全球化程度下降等;珠三角城市群发展水平和竞争力与国外世界级城市群相比差距较大;与国内长三角、京津冀城市群相比,总体发展势头下降。在此背景下,应将产业技术创新、土地节约集约利用、人口政策创新、区域合作与人文引领作为新时期珠三角城市群发展战略的主要方向。

Recently, domestic and international economic situations have changed significantly. The Pearl River Delta(PRD) area in this period of transition is facing unprecedented challenges, and development strategies for the PRD need to be reconsidered. This article reviews the development process of the PRD and analyzes its development situation. Then, the PRD is compared with the urban agglomerations at home and abroad. The results show that in 2000-2013, the economic development and the population growth of the PRD have slowed down; the disparity of regional economic development has gradually narrowed; the industrial development tends to be more advanced; and economic globalization has decreased. At present, the level of development and competitiveness of the PRD is much weaker than world-class urban agglomerations. Compared with the Yangtze River Delta and the Beijing- Tianjin- Hebei Uban Agglomerations, the speed of development in the Pearl River Delta area has decreased. The PRD should attach greater importance to technology innovation of industries,intensification of land-use, innovation of population policy, regional cooperation, and humanistic concerns under the new conditions.
