文摘There exists an inherent relationship between territorial division of labour and locational superiorities,of which becomes a basic point followed in the process of regional development and urban planning.The historical evolution of territorial division theories is reviewed first.The authors fully appraise the contributions of A.Smith et al.and comment on some of their shortcomings.An integrated system on locational superiorities is then put forward which contains four pairs of regional or urban superiorities.Finally,the relation of external elements and inherent mechanism in areal differentiation is probed.
