城市行政区划优化调整的法治逻辑与实践构想

The Legal Logic and Practical Conception of Optimizing and Adjusting Urban Administrative Divisions

城市是我国经济、政治、文化、社会等方面活动的中心,城市治理现代化是实现国家治理现代化和中国式现代化的重要环节。改革开放以来,政策调控所形成的城市格局已经不能适应当下的城市发展进程以及未来的国家发展战略定位,部分城市的行政区划设置并不完全符合宪法的具体规范与法治化要求。为了满足现代化的城市治理需求,城市行政区划优化调整的法治化已成必然。当前城市行政区划在区划建制、行政区域划分、行政层级设置等方面存在的规范问题,应当以《宪法》为根本依据、以法律为具体支撑,在法治轨道上进行优化调整的实践构想,以期实现行政区划制度体系的完善与城市治理的高效,更好发挥城市的辐射带动作用,实现区域协调和高质量发展。
