“长株潭+子片区”:湖南城市体系发展构想

“Changzhutan + Sub Area”:Development Idea for Hunan Urban System

"长株潭"是湖南城市体系的核心,但由于其位于省域行政区划的东部,对湘中西部地区的拉动力相对较弱,因此需要对"长株潭"进行拓展,在腹地内构建多个子中心城市与长株潭呼应。在依托长株潭构建湖南城镇体系过程中,需要将省域行政单元划分为西部、南部和北部等三个子片区,其中西部子片区即"娄底市+邵阳市+怀化市+湘西自治州(以吉首市为中心)",南部子片区即"衡阳市+永州市+郴州市",北部子片区即"张家界市+常德市+益阳市+岳阳市"。娄底市、衡阳市和益阳市分别是三个子片区的中心城市,与长株潭建立联系得以整合发展。构建省域城市体系需要打破行政单元束缚,形成跨行政区划的城市链、城市团,在不同层级的中心地间形成高效互动的局面。

“Changzhutan” is the core of Hunan urban system,but because it is located in the east of the provincial administrative divi- sions,its influence to the middle and west area of Hunan province is relatively weak. It is necessary to develop “ Changzhutan” further- more, and more sub center cities should be shaped in the heart of the hinterland to echo to Changzhutan. During the process of con-structing Hunan urban system relying on Changzhutan, the provincial administrative unit should be divided into three sub areas named as the west sub area, the south sub area and the north sub area the western sub ￡irea namely u Loudi city＋ Shaoyang city＋ Huaihua city ＋Xiangxi autonomous state （taking Jishou city as the center） , the southern sub area namely “Hengyang city＋ Yongzhou city＋Chenzhou city”,the northern sub area namely “Zhangjiajie city＋ Changde city＋Yiyang city ＋Yueyang city”. Loudi city, Hengyang city and Yiyang city are three centers of the sub areas respectively, establishing contact with Changzhutan and can be integrated together. In or-der to construct a provincial urban system, it is necessary to break the administrative unit, forming city chain and urban group across administrative districts, and in this way effective interaction can be realized among the centers of different levels.
