Preface

In today’s economic development, the continuous development and improvement of cities and urban systems have become an important driving force to affect and promote economic development. The development of central cities and urban systems are the key to regional economic development and competitiveness promotion. Countries in the world have achieved rapid economic development in the process of urbanization, but also in response to various problems brought about by urbanization. China has entered a period of rapid development of urbanization, which urbanization mode should be adopted in China has become one of the controversial issues in theoretical circles.
     Urban construction and development are closely related to the establishment of socialist market economic system and the promotion of coordinated economic and social development. Urban planning is an important basis and means to guide the rational development, construction and management of a city. With the continuous development of China’s economy and the further promotion of urbanization, the economy and scale of cities are developing constantly, and the importance of urban planning has become increasingly prominent. Only by integrating the consciousness of environmental and ecological protection into the whole process of urban planning and construction, and actively taking measures to ensure the implementation, can we lay the foundation and create conditions for the sustainable development of urban economy and society.
      We have embarked on the journey of the 21st century. In the new century, China’s urbanization process has moved to the stage of fast lane. With the higher requirements of urban modernization construction, various cities will inevitably encounter such and other problems in the development process. We need to constantly understand, research, explore, solve or need to carry out mutual exchanges between cities, sum up experience, pool ideas and forge ahead to make their due contribution for China’s urban development, urban and rural construction.

前 言

在当今经济的发展中，城市和城市体系的不断发展和完善成为影响和推动经济发展的重要动力，中心城市和城市体系的发展是一个区域经济发展和竞争力提升的关键。 世界各国都在城市化过程中实现了经济的快速发展,也在应对城市化所带来的各种问题,我国已进入城市化高速发展时期,我国应采取何种城市化模式成为我国理论界争论不休的问题之一。
       城市建设和发展与建立社会主义市场经济体制、促进经济和社会协调发展关系重大。 城市规划是指导城市合理发展,建设和管理城市的重要依据和手段,随着我国经济的不断发展，城市化步伐的进一步推进城市的经济、规模都在不断发展,城市规划的重要性已日益突显。只有将环境、生态保护意识融汇到城市规划建设全过程并积极采取措施加以保证付诸实施，才能为城市的经济、社会可持续发展奠定基础和创造条件。
       我们已经踏上 21 世纪的征程。 新的世纪我国城市化进程已驶向快车道阶段， 加上城市现代化建设的更高要求，各个城市在发展过程中必然会遇到这样和那样的问题，需要我们去不断认识、研究、探索、解决或者需要进行城市之间的相互交流，总结经验，集思广益，开拓前进。为我国城市发展、城乡建设事业做出自已应有的贡献。
