中国农村城镇化的必要性与实现路径

农村城镇化是实现农业剩余劳动力转移的必然选择，是实现农村全面小康社会的前提。章论述了中国农村城镇化的必要性，提出了实现农村城镇化的途径。     

我国大城市郊区化与汽车产业的发展

在我国大城市出现的郊区化现象与西方发达国家具有若干相似性 ,也存在大量的不同特征和不同的动力机制。郊区化是城市化发展到一定阶段的产物 ,是大城市空间结构调整的表现形式。在合理的城市与区域规划引导下 ,郊区化与汽车产业的发展将会相互促进 ,并推动大城市空间结构的优化     

绍兴、吴江农村城市化的情况调研

通过对江苏吴江市和浙江绍兴县两地部分建制镇和部分原农村居民点的实地调研 ,作者认为 ,目前两地农村工业化、城市化处于发展的上升期 :中心镇经济和城市化发展相当快 ;中心镇以下的部分行政村异地或就地实现城市化。在城市化进程中 ,以下问题有待探讨解决 :迁村并点、撤乡并镇的速度与规模 ;城镇建设用地指标及相关政策 ;社区建设改造过程中 ,农民征地拆迁补偿标准和社会保障等。     

西方城市化理论二元结构分析框架:一个文献综述

在发展经济学中，西方城市化理论可以被划分为两类：一是从经济结构转换的视角研究人口流动的二元经济结构理论；二是从区域发展的视角研究空间过程的二元区域结构理论。将两者结合起来对其进行文献综述。     

云南省城市化与经济空间结构的演变和趋势

云南省经济空间结构正处于核心—外围二元结构的空间演化阶段,集聚尤其是中心城市集聚占主导地位,但有向外扩散的趋势。要注意协调好核心地带与其他地区的关系,发展相互间的经济技术合作,在重点发展核心地带的同时,充分发挥核心地带的扩散作用,带动全省经济社会的全面进步。     

美国早期制造业集中的转变及其对中国西部开发的启示

本文通过引述Krugman的中心 -外围区域模型 ,详细分析了美国早期制造业中心从位于东北部、大西洋中部沿海地区向中西部地区转移的条件、过程。本文发现 ,美国中西部地区制造业的发展是与该地区人口数量特别是城市人口快速增长、内部运输系统效率提高、暂时维持与制造业发达地区运输成本分不开的。联系到中国改革开放以来地区差距总体上是处于不断扩大的趋势之中 ,缩小地区差距的前提条件是实现西部地区产业结构的升级 ,而这一目标实现的前提条件是西部地区城市化的发展和地区内部交通运输效率的提高。     

刘易斯模型与托达罗模型的否定之否定--城市化战略的理论回顾与现实思考

城市化是刘易斯二元经济发展理论的基本政策含义。否定刘易斯模型的托达罗模型导致了农业发展低水平均衡、经济增长低效率和经济结构低级化等消极后果。走出托达罗困境的可行选择 ,是经过修正和补充的刘易斯模型的复归。伴随着发展中国家经济发展战略重点的转换 ,经济发展理论走出了一条螺旋式上升的成长道路     

Does urbanization reduce rural poverty? Evidence from Vietnam

This paper uses data from household surveys to contribute to the urbanization-poverty nexus literature by assessing the effect of urbanization on income, expenditure, and poverty in rural households in Vietnam. We find that the urbanization process stimulates the transition from farm to non-farm activities in rural areas. More specifically, urbanization tends to reduce farm income and increase wages and non-farm income in rural households. This suggests that total income and consumption expenditure of rural households are more likely to increase with urbanization. Finally, we find also that urbanization helps decrease the expenditure poverty rate of rural households, albeit by a small magnitude.     

城市化、政府财政支出、就业所有制结构与城乡收入差距

基于1985-2012年的数据,建立以城市化、政府财政支出、就业的所有制结构为内生变量的向量误差修正模型,并且用协整检验考察城市化水平、政府财政支出、就业的所有制结构的长期均衡与短期动态关系。实证分析发现:四者不仅存在长期的均衡关系,而且存在短期动态关系。具体而言,城市化、政府财政支出、就业的所有制结构在长期会扩大城乡收入差距,在短期则会缩小城乡收入差距。     

Metropolitan land-change science: A framework for research on tropical and subtropical forest recovery in city-regions

In efforts to promote transitions to sustainability in city-regions, government and nongovernment actors throughout the world are devising comprehensive sustainability strategies and implementing a variety of environmental policies. Social actors in many city-regions view forest stewardship as an important element of this integrated approach. Generally, urban sustainability goals are guided by the principles of ecological integrity, environmental quality, social equity, social inclusion, and social justice. In other words, sustainable urban development should foster a good quality of life for all by providing equitable access to adequate economic opportunity, housing, education, public services, ecosystem services, and environmental amenities. Governance structures should pursue these goals democratically with legitimacy, transparency, and accountability. Effective sustainability planning and management depend on the reliability of land-use monitoring and modeling approaches. They also require field-based, qualitative empirical research to understand the complex social dynamics that are invisible from space. The aim of this paper is to encourage international, cross-disciplinary dialogue on the conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and practical groundwork necessary to effectively carry out metropolitan land-change science, particularly for rapidly expanding small- and medium-sized cities in developing countries. I begin by presenting the paper's central conceptual and theoretical framework. Next, I explore existing analytical and methodological approaches to the study of land-use dynamics in metropolitan regions. After a brief discussion of specific opportunities and challenges for collaborative, interdisciplinary research in support of metropolitan land-change science, I conclude by proposing a four-part agenda for coordinated investigation of tropical and subtropical forest recovery in city-regions worldwide.
