南通市城镇空间结构研究

南通市城镇空间结构演变具有优越的区位条件和较好的经济基础及发展历史，但综合经济实力欠缺是造成中心城市规模偏小、城镇空间发展不平衡以及城市化水平滞后的根本原因。因而完善南通城镇空间结构的策略应该是走多元化城镇化发展道路，加快城镇建设步伐。通过户籍登记制度和农村土地流转制度改革，优先发展基础设施，优化空间产业布局和城镇空间布局，逐步形成一个层次合理、布局科学的城镇体系，为实现城乡一体化奠定基础。

AN ANALYSIS ON THE SPACIAL PATTERN OF MUNICIPAL NANTONG

The evolution of Nantong's spatial layout has advantages of favorable geographical location, sound economic basis and developmental history. But there are also disadvantages: the comparatively sluggish urbanization level compared with that of the industrialization, the spatial development misbalance, imperfect hierarchical scale structure,the disproportionally small central urban area which can hardly spur on the whole area's development. Besides, the cities’ and towns’ functions are basically in the comparatively \{unitary\} phrase and the spatial layout is primarily shaped by main traffic arteries. The present article suggests that the deficiency of comprehensive economic strength is the basic reason for the stagnant development of the towns, therefore, the strategies for improving the spatial pattern of Municipal Nantong should take the road of polarized townization, accelerate municipal construction, priorize infrastructure ,and gradually form a municipal system of reasonable administrative level and scientific layout.
