基于城市群网络演化的城市竞争力评价及其变动机理研究

Traditional urban competitiveness studies focus on single city, stressed the competition relations between cities. While in some degrees, it ignored the objective existence of cooperation relation between cities, as well as the importance to obtain competitiveness for a city, so it couldn’t explain urban competitiveness comprehensively and scientifically. The Project intends to adopt the methods of dynamic evolution analysis, drawing on the frontier theories of urban network research, absorbing and integrating the scientific connotation of urban competitiveness existing research. By building a new explaining framework of urban competitiveness based on the perspective of urban network，the project revealed the relationships , response path and influencing mechanism between the evolution of urban agglomeration economic network with urban competitiveness, as well as, its sources and major affecting factors. And then, the project resolved and clarified the coupling mechanism between the evolutions of urban agglomeration economic network with the changing of urban competitiveness. Under the background of the new normal of Chinese economies，as well as，the urban agglomeration becoming the main body form of Chinese urbanization, project study to clarify the academic topic and to carry out the academic exploration would be not only perfecting the analysis framework of traditional urban competitiveness, helping increase the explaining capacity of urban competitiveness theory, but also for China's urban planning and construction practice, as well as, for the policies making of promotion urban competitiveness which in the different development stage of the urban agglomeration have important realistic significance and theoretical guidance value.

传统城市竞争力研究以单体城市为视角，强调城市竞争关系，而对城市所处的区域环境、在外部与其它城市客观存在的合作联系，以及这些因素对竞争力获取的重要作用很大程度上被忽视，难以科学解释城市竞争力。项目拟以城市的网络观点，采用动态演化分析方法，吸纳传统城市竞争力研究的科学内涵，通过城市竞争力获取源泉的解构分析，构建基于城市群网络演化的城市竞争力解释框架和不同层级城市竞争力评价指标体系，以中国三大典型城市群为实证案例，在城市竞争力评价基础上，揭示城市群网络演化与不同层级城市竞争力及其获取源泉的变动关系、影响路径和作用机制，阐明基于城市群网络演化的城市竞争力变动机理。项目研究所厘清的学术话题和开展的学术探索，既可完善城市竞争力分析框架，增强其理论解释能力，又可为新型城市化背景下，中国当前各级各类城市群规划建设实践，以及不同层级城市竞争力提升政策的制定提供理论参考依据。

本项目从城市群发展角度切入，借鉴城市网络研究范式，通过构建区域城市网络视角的城市竞争力概念模型，论证了城市群发展的网络演化过程及其对城市发展的影响。从城市关系视角将城市竞争力获取源泉解构为源于城市竞争的内生竞争力和源于城市合作的外生竞争力两种分量，提出了从城市竞合关系视角认识城市竞争力提升问题的设想，并将理论模型中提出的城市群网络演化对城市关系重构的认识应用到城市竞争力变动分析中。从城市群网络演化与群内不同层级城市竞争力变动关系视角，本项目分析了不同城市群的多维度城市网络结构及其不同层级城市竞争力的来源差异、粤港澳大湾区城市网络驱动因素的演变及其城际竞合关系对城市竞争力的影响、澳门的区域网络地位、广州的城市竞争力提升策略等城市群与城市发展的现实问题。本项目的研究结果表明，城市群发展本质上也是区域城市网络的高级化演进过程，群内单体城市的竞争力水平由内生和外生竞争力分量共同决定，两分量对城市竞争力的贡献程度又与城市所处层级、网络地位及所在城市群的发展水平密切相关，并随城市群网络演化而变化。这意味着未来国家在制定城市群和城市发展相关政策时必须注意城市竞合关系的影响，创造更加有利于强化区域城市网络形成的发展环境，引导城市树立合作博弈的竞争力提升思维。
