经济全球化与信息化已成为推动世界城市化进程的主要驱动力,但经济全球化与城市化之间的量化关系研究却不多见。通过定量分析,发现经济全球化时代世界大城市发展具有如下主要特点:①大城市规模增长的阶段性特征明显;②大城市增长的重点区域转向亚、非和拉美等新型工业化国家;③非正规城市区域的扩大成为发展中国家大城市扩张的主导城市形态;④巨型城市的极化效应大于扩散效应,导致典型的二元化城市格局;⑤单极城市化、都市区化与网络城市化并存发展。并从世界和中国两个层面上,探讨了经济全球化与大城市增长之间的相关关系,检验了“全球化导致了更大的城市发展”的观点同时,还分析了经济全球化与大城市增长的波动性关系,结果表明:世界大城市增长的波动性总体上要小于经济要素流动的波动性;而中国经济要素流动的波动性与大城市增长的波动性均较大 Economic globalization and informationization have become the main driving forces to promote the process of urbanization in the world. However, the study on the quantitative relationship between economic globalization and urbanization is rare. Through quantitative analysis, it is found that the development of major cities in the world in the era of economic globalization has the following main features: (1) The phased characteristics of the scale growth of large cities are clear; (2) the key areas for growth of big cities are turned to newly industrialized countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America; (3) The expansion of urban areas has become the dominant urban form of the expansion of big cities in developing countries; ④ the polarization effect of mega cities is larger than the diffusion effect, leading to the typical dual urban pattern; ⑤ The unipolar urbanization, metropolitanization and network urbanization coexist development of. At the same time, it also analyzes the relationship between economic globalization and the growth of big cities, and examines the viewpoint that “globalization leads to greater urban development.” At the same time, it analyzes the economic globalization The results show that the volatility of the growth of big cities in the world is less than that of economic elements in general, while the volatility of the flow of economic elements and the growth of big cities in China are both more volatile
