长三角城市化与经济发展水平关系研究——基于东部主要城市的比较分析

The Research of the Relationship between Level of Urbanization and Economic Development in the Yangtze River Delta——A Comparative Analysis of the Main Cities in Eastern China

研究长三角区域城市化与经济发展水平关系对于促进区域一体化以及制定各市的发展规划有着重大意义。利用长三角16个城市和东部21个高经济发展水平城市的统计数据,采用改进的象限图方法分析城市化与经济发展水平关系的长三角格局。研究发现:省际尺度上两者关系的地域差异并不明显,仅存在南北翼的微弱差异。此外,城市化与经济发展水平关系格局存在马太效应。长三角各城市应根据自身的城市化与经济发展进程,依据客观的发展规律,研究两者适度不协调的合理性,制定两者协调发展的合理规划。

The research of the relationship between level of urbanization and economic development is of great significance to promote regional integration and making development planning in every city. With statistic data of 16 cities in the Yangtze River Delta and 21 cities in eastern China with high-level economic development, this paper uses the improved method of Quadrant to analyze the pattern of the Yangtze River Delta. We can find that the relationship between level of urbanization and that of economic development in different provinces is not significantly different and there is only minor difference between north and south provinces . Furthermore, matthew effect exists in the relationship. According to objective law of development, the cities in the Yangtze River Delta should analyze the moderate disharmony between process of urbanization and economic development, and then make rational planning of coordinated development.
