转型期中国城市居住空间的分异与极化——以广州为例

Differentiation and Polarization of China's Urban Living Space in the Transformation Period

社会学研究不应忽视当前中国社会转型过程中城市里较为普遍的居住分异问题。回顾国内外关于城市居住空间的研究,以广州为例,可以考察建国以来城市居住空间逐渐分异的历史变迁过程。如果不对居住分异加以适当的调控就会出现居住空间的极化。城市居住空间极化本质是社会不公正、社会不平等在居住空间上的表现。可以从扩大中等收入群体规模、增加社会自组织力量、制定公正的社会政策、监管房地产业健康发展四个方面来思考优化城市居住空间结构。

Sociology is to give enough attention to living differentiation in the social transformation period. The paper,taking Guangzhou as an example, investigates the history of differentiation of the urban living space since .the founding of New China, and concludes that polarization will appear if living differentiation is not controlled. The nature of polarization of urban living space manifests social unfairness and unjustness through living space. The paper proposes optimizing the urban living space structure from four aspects： to enlarge mid-income population size, to increase the power of social self-organization; to make just social policy; and to supervising the healthy development of real estate.
