The transborder economic region of Hong Kong - Shenzhen

纪念香港回归、地理学研究成果的“ 特辑”A few transborder regions have appeared in the 1970s as a consequence of international di-vision of labour in manufacturing arising from globalization of economic activities. The border-ing cities of Hong Kong and Shenzhen belong to different ideologies and systems of gover-nance, yet they have since the late 1970s gradually developed into a highly interrelated trans-border economic region. Such development has promoted economic growth of Shenzhen and deepened the structural transformation of Hong Kong into a higher status in international trade, shipping, and finance. The mutual causative transborder development in the past decade had largely been initiated and participated by private investors following the rule of the mar-ket. After 1997, with the return of Hong Kong to China,transborder cooperation is expected to receive more government attention and achieve promotion. Of course the continue existence of a demarcation is crucial to transborder cooperation and will benefit both places. The case of Hong Kong-Shenzhen is different from other transborder regions such as the Singapore Trian-gle. 本文以70年代末中國改革開放以來香港-深圳這兩個分屬不同社會制度的城市的發展和緊密結合而形成跨境城市經濟區為個案研究對象,總結兩者各自的城市發展歷史,分析兩地在過往10余年間的跨境發展特征及相互影響。一方面深圳借助于香港資本流入等因素發展成為現代化的大都市;另一方面香港跨境向深圳、珠江三角洲經濟腹地擴散,促進了其產業升級和國際貿易、金融和航運中心地位的鞏固。過往10多年香港-深圳跨境的區域發展是由市場規范的、自發和民間促成的。隨著“九七”香港回歸祖國,這一跨境城市經濟區的發展應由兩地政府積極、主動地參與和管理。同時,港深管理線的存在及其完整性對保持和促進這一跨境城市經濟區的發展是至關重要的。published_or_final_versio

Beijing: Urban Transport Issues in a Socialist Third World Setting (1949-1992)

Post-1949 development of urban transport in Beijing, the national capital of the People's Republic of China, has been for a long time shaped by the ideology of the Chinese communists, in a setting of rapid urban growth and industrialization with general neglect of the 'consumption' needs of the urban populace. The Old City of feudal Beijing which the municipality inherited in 1949 and the need to preserve its pre-industrial street pattern, set by the city wall and the former Imperial Court (the Forbidden City), for historical and cultural reasons added another interesting and almost insurmountable constraint to the city's urban transport development. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the situation and development of urban transport in the city from 1949 to 1992, outlining its major characteristics and problems. The effects of the new Open Door and modernization policies since 1978 and their impact on a new approach emphasizing market forces are evaluated. Wherever feasible, comparative figures and materials from the western and Third World city are used to provide better appreciation of Beijing's situation. The experience of the new policy of Market Socialism that started in 1978 provides valuable evidence for other large Third World cities. Copyright © 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

中國城市與城市發展理論的歷史

Urbanization and city development in China have been unique. As a result, the concepts and theories developed in China related to the nature and structure of Chinese cities are quite different from those popular in urban geography that are based on Western experiences. The present paper is a historical review of these key concepts and theories regarding China’s cities. It is divided chronologically into three parts: (1) feudal China; (2) China in 1949-1978; and (3) China after the implementation of the opening up and reform policy was started in 1978. The concepts and theories that have emerged in the three periods form an important foundation for understanding and guiding future urbanization and city development in China, and will contribute to comparative urban studies. 論述中國自周朝以來的城市概念和理論, 指出中國城市性質和城市結構的自有特點及其與西方發展經驗為基礎的城市概念和理論不同。將中國漫長的演變歷史分為封建時代、中華人民共和國建立至1978年和1978年以后的改革開放3個時期。3個時期所形成的城市概念和理論, 都有中國特色, 是中國城市及城市化向前發展的重要的理解和指導基礎

研究中國城市化理論學派述評

Because of its uniqueness, Chinese Urbanization has always been a fascinating research topic in overseas academic circle since 1970s. Through a comparative study on existing theories and hypotheses developed by overseas scholars, the authors sum up five most representative schools which have great influence on this research field. They are: (1) Anti Urbanism or De Urbanization School; (2) Industry/Strategy Oriented Urbanization School; (3) The School of Dual System of Urban Centers and Rural Urban Balance Development; (4) Industrialization and Urban biased School; and (5) Comprehensive School. It is extremely urgent that Chinese scholars borrow these methodologies and findings to develop their own theories, especially in this historical period of overall socio economic transition in China. 中國城市化具有獨特性，自７０年代以來一直成為學術界的研究熱點之一。文中通過對各有關研究的比較和總結，歸納出５種最具代表性和影響力的學說，即反城市主義說、工業戰略說、城市二元體系和工農業均衡發展說、工業化和城市偏愛說以及綜合說，并對各學說進行了評述，指出中國在面臨社會經濟結構全面轉型的歷史時期，極有必要借鑒他人的研究方法和成果去建立自己的新理論
