太原大都市区城市化特征、问题与对策

CHARACTERISTICS,PROBLEMS AND COUNTERMEASURES OF URBANIZATION IN TAIYUAN METROPOLIS

大都市区的形成与发展是现代城市化进程的一个重要特征。近年来 ,有关我国沿海发达地区大都市区的实证研究成果较多。本文以内陆资源型省区中心城市太原市为案例 ,通过与发达地区都市区发展的比较来揭示其发育特征。结果表明 :太原大都市区发育尚处于初期阶段 ,无论人口、经济集聚水平还是城市化进程与我国发达地区同类城市都市区相比仍有较大差距。其滞后的原因在于中心城市产业结构转换滞缓 ,扩散力弱 ;城市资本集聚能力较低 ,外力推动不强 ;腹地总体水平较低 ,自下而上城市化动力不足 ;政策催化作用 ,基础设施的先导作用未能有效发挥等方面。文章最后 ,提出了相应的发展思路及调控建议。

One of the main characteristics of modern urbanization is the formation and development of Metropolitan District.In recent years,the practical researches of Metropolitan District in coastal developed areas are increasing.On the basis of the study of Taiyuan City,the key city of interior resource province,the paper indicates the metropolitan development characteristics in interior land,compared with those in coastal doveloped areas. The study reveals that the Taiyuan metropolis is still in elementary stage and that there are rather gaps in population scale,in level of economic agglomeration and in urbanization.There are four reasons at least for those.The first one is slow transformation and low dispersion of industrial structure of key city.The second one is low capability of urban capital agglomeration and weak outside force.The third one is low general level of hinterland and insufficient power of urbanization.The last one is inefficient applyment of policy affect and of the guide of foundational facilities. At last,the developing thinkings and countermeasures are accordingly put forward.
