泉州市城市化发展战略的新思考

面对新时期泉州市城市化发展环境的改变,制定切实可行的城市化发展战略显得尤为迫切。本文首先通过对泉州市人均GDP、人均国民收入与城市化相互关系的分析,初步判断泉州的城市化发展目前正处于迅速集聚阶段。进而提出,泉州应构筑以城市为中心,以中心城为核心的现代化城镇体系。在具体建设模式上,把中心城建成富有竞争力的特大城市,从而培育地区增长极、提升区域综合竞争力以及优化中心城功能结构;以"新城"模式建设各县城,使其成为城市化过程中人口和产业集聚的重要基地;按小城市模式建设中心镇,以构筑地区增长极和建设现代企业载体。

THE NEW THINKING ON THE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF URBANIZATION OF QUANZHOU CITY IN FUJIAN PROVINCE

The development strategy of urbanization is one of the core components of state or regional economic strategies. In the new times, rapid development of urbanization in Quanzhou has raised some serious problems, including the decreasing influence of central city in the course of regional development, confused ideas about the future development mode of county seats, random and blindness in action of constructing town and so on. Nevertheless, it is very imperative for Quanzhou to take initiative measures to formulate an overall and long term development strategy of urbanization to adapt the changing environment. This paper is made up of 5 parts. In the Part 1, on the basis of analyzing the connections among GDP per capita, NI per capita and urbanization rates with reference to the established comparative systems in the world, the author concludes preliminarily that Quanzhou city is in a period of the starting point entering the rapid development of urbanization, which means continuing population and economic agglomeration to city and town. Part 2 delineates the frame of urban system and specifies the quality contents of modern urbanization in the future Quanzhou.The author first puts forward that in Quanzhou the modern urban system, taking city as a leading role and central city as a core, should be established as follows: (1) the key point of construction to urban system is not those low grade towns but those cities of different levels; (2) in the entire system, considering the central city as the core, the development of high grade city should be more preferential than that of low grade one; (3)the result of urbanization will make most people in Quanzhou live in different levels of cities and realize the terminal goal of the society of urbanization. Meantime, to turn Quanzhou into a modern city, the author emphasizes five quality principles of urbanization including ecology, personality, modernization, socialization, and culture. Part 3 expounds the necessity of turning Quanzhou proper into a competitive extra large city and some relevant suggestions. Part 4 generalizes the international experiences of establishing "new town" and proposes to construct the county seats of Quanzhou at the model of new town. Part 5 proposes to develop "central town" following the model of small sized city. To guarantee the quality of choosing and constructing central town, the author thinks it necessary to observe three key principals including essential population numbers, balanced spatial distribution, and the potentials of economic development.
