全球流动空间中的当代世界城市网络理论研究

STUDY ON WORLD CITY NETWORK THEORY WITHIN GLOBAL SPACE OF FLOW

当代世界城市网络的发展是建立在对世界城市、世界城市等级体系和全球城市等相关理论的批判基础上的,其理论发展以城市间关系的研究为重点,突破了传统世界城市研究中实证数据的局限,打破了等级观念在城市间关系研究中的垄断地位,凸显了城市间建立联系并互动合作的重要性。当代世界城市网络理论适应全球化经济时代城市间关系演变的需求,以关系视角替代结构视角推动理论研究范式的转型,以"流动空间"替代"地方空间"作为相关研究的理论基础,以"中心流动理论"替代"中心地方理论"来解释世界城市网络的形成机制,推动了本研究领域的理论创新。基于上述对当代世界城市网络理论的梳理,认为我国的相关领域研究可以从城市间关系的转变、城市研究视角的转变、城市策略的转变和城市职能的转变等方面取得借鉴和启示。

The development of contemporary world city network （CWCN） based on the critique to research of world city, world city hierarchy system and global city. CWCN theory emphasized on inter-city relation, surmounted the limit of empirical data of traditional urban studies, broke through the monopoly of hierarchy sense in inter-city relation, and highlighted the importance of connection and cooperation among cities. CWCN theory adopted the need of inter-city relation in economic globalization era, replaced structure perspective with relational perspective to propel the transformation of urban study paradigm, replaced place space with flow space as theoretical basis of inter-city research, replaced central place theory with central flow theory to explain the dynamics of world city network formation, and promoted the theoretical innovation of inter-city research. On the basis of the carding above mentioned, the paper suggested some references and inspirations for related studies on the transformation of inter-city relation, urban studies perspectives, urban policies and urban functions.
