构建沪—杭—甬组合城市的新探索

A Probe into the City Combination of Shanghai, Hangzhou & Ningbo

环杭州湾上海、杭州、宁波等六城市 ,城市之间社会、经济相互联系密切 ,交通等基础设施日益完善 ,特别是杭州湾大桥的建设 ,形成了沪、杭、甬之间的两小时交通“金三角”区。当今世界城市群、城市带、城市圈在各地兴起 ,杭州湾地区沪、杭、甬完全有可能形成组合城市。

The six cities - including Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo - around the Hangzhou Bay have maintained close social and economic relationships with each other. With transportation and other infrastructure facilities improving day by day and especially the Hangzhou Bay Bridge under construction, two hours' car drive will be made possible between Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo. As groups of cities, belts of cities and rings of cities are being formed in many parts of the world today, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo in the Bay area are likely to form a city combination. Based on the analysis of the present conditions of the Bay cities' development and the important function of the city combination, a tentative plan is advanced for the space planning of the combination.
