中国城市地理学的传承与发展

The inheritance and development of Chinese urban geography

改革开放近40年来,中国城市地理学发展有以下几个显著特点:(1)密切结合城市规划实践,以城市规划需求为目标导向;(2)建立了引进、吸收和转换的机制;(3)积极推进城镇化研究的国际合作;(4)以全球视野促进中国城市地理理论研究与西方的接轨;(5)结合中国社会发展的新形势,强化对生态环境问题和以人为本发展理念的关注,促进了很多分支学科的发展。中青年城市地理学者在西方城市地理学发展新趋势、城市产业演化、城市空间结构演化、城镇化格局的重塑、中国发展模式的新解释、大数据的应用、定性方法的创新等方面做出了探讨。未来的中国城市地理研究,应该继续强调服务于城市规划实践;吸收其他学科优势,总结中国城市发展规律;城市地理学者应当掌握对国家城市方针政策和重大战略的话语权;继续加大国际合作研究力度,提高在国际学术界的地位。

Since the launch of reform and opening up in the late 1970 s, Chinese urban geography has gained rapid development and become the fastest growing and the most active branch of human geography. The development of Chinese urban geography has the following remarkable characteristics：（1） It combines urban planning practice closely, and always regards urban planning needs as the goal;（2） It establishes a mechanism for the introduction,absorption and conversion;（3） It promotes international cooperation in urbanization research actively;（4） In terms of theoretical research, urban geography absorbs a large number of experiences, theories and concepts in Western countries, and promotes the integration of Chinese urban geography theory with the West from the global perspective;（5） In the new situation of China＇s social development, it pays more attention to the concept of ecological environment and people-centered development, and promotes the development of its subdisciplines. Young urban geographers have made discussions on the new trend of development of the Western urban geography, the evolution of urban industry, the evolution of urban spatial structure, the reshaping of the urbanization pattern, the new interpretation of China＇s development model, the application of large data and the innovation of qualitative method. In the future, the Chinese urban geography study should place more emphasis on the service in urban planning practice. Firstly, the new generation of urban geographers should absorb the advantages of other disciplines, and summarize the law of urban development in China based on China＇s national conditions. What＇s more, urban geographers should hold the power of speech in the policy and major strategies of national cities, such as the Belt and Road Initiative and the new urbanization strategy, and play an important role in the formulation of these policies. At last, we should continue to strengthen the international cooperation so as to raise the level of Chinese urban geography in the status of international academia
