城市加速扩张、政府责任与服务业发展:以北京为例

大城市加速扩张是经济发展到一定阶段的必然产物.北京正在加速向外扩张,但是,除中心城区以外的绝大多数地区在居住、就业、购物休闲等方面难以达成平衡,不足以吸引中心城区的人口和产业,从而进一步加剧了中心城区在交通、住房和公共服务等方面的紧张局面.以上困境正是北京服务业发展的大好机遇,为适应城市快速健康发展的需要,政府必须承担更多的责任,在郊区的交通、基础教育、医疗保健、治安等方面增加投入,更应该鼓励各种产业尤其是劳动密集型的服务业(尤其是商业)在郊区的发展,而不应该人为阻碍其发展.

Urban Expansion, Governmental Responsibility and Service Industries: case study of Beijing

The accelerating large city expansion is an expected result of economic development.Beijing is speeding its outreaching while facing many imbalances of residence,employment,shopping and leisure etc.in both its suburbs and farther areas which in turn fail to attract population and industries,and leave the central districts in ever striking conflicts in their transportation,housing and public services etc..However,these conflicts should not be reconciled by strictly limiting the city size,but be rendered to opportunities for the city,especially for the development of its service industries.In order to obtain harmonious and fast development,the local authorities should assume more responsibilities for substantive expenditure on transportation,basic education and medical care,safeguards and so on,to create proper conditions instead of man-made hindrances of intent for the healthy and fast development of the service industries(the commercial industries in particular) in the suburbs.
