国家级中心城市的成长条件及其因素分析

Conditions and Factors for State-level Core City Development

现代意义上的中心城市在经济全球化与信息化的深入发展背景下具有极为重要的节点功能,这些城市一方面在全球的城市网络体系中拥有关键的地位,另一方面在自身国家城镇体系中又有着核心的功能,而国家级中心城市所处的中心、节点与枢纽等重要位置决定了其综合的功能属性,体现了国家政治、经济和文化活动的中心性。本文归纳与总结了国家级中心城市成长过程的4个基本条件以及国家级中心城市成长的5个基本因素,旨在通过把国家级中心城市还原在其所依托的城市群背景下,考虑其在国家城镇等级体系中发挥的支撑、服务、辐射、带动作用,加大吸引、集聚资源以加速城市转型,改善并最终提升城市国际功能与凸显国家级中心城市的个性特征。

In modem sense, core cities assume the important role of nodes in the contexts of economic globalization and worldwide informatisation. On one hand, cities are critical in the global urban network system. On the other hand, they serve as the core in the urban system of their own countries. The central, node and hub positions, where state-level core cities are lo- cated, determine their integrated functional attributes and reflect their central orientation on na- tional politics, economy and cultural activities. This paper generalises, summarises and proposes four basic conditions and five basic factors for the growth of state-level core cities. This transformation is achieved considering the supporting, serving, radiating and driving functions of core cities in the national urban hierarchy system and their intensifying resource attraction, as well as the gathering, improving and upgrading of the international position of the cities and awarding prominence to the individualized characteristics of state-level core cities.
