Group urban
Group Urban, or clustered city, is a concept raised in the 2003 city blue paper "City Development Report of China (2002–2003)" published by The Commercial Press.[1] It is a concept to describe the macro development object. It is not a widely used concept in academia.[2]
The term is now widely used in discussions regarding the development of Chinese cities. The term describes multi-centered cities consisting of different groups, with one or multiple central group(s). Different groups are connected with freeways and/or subways. The groups are usually divided by rivers and hills, but later merged into a single city.
Some typical group urban cities are listed below.[3]
- Chongqing: the northern bank (Jiangbei), southern bank (Jiangnan), and Yuzhong, divided by the Yangtze River and Jialing River, are the central groups, and Wanzhou, Fuling are satellite groups.[4]
- Guangzhou: Guangzhou and Panyu consist of the central group, and Huadu, Conghua, Zengcheng are satellite groups.
- Wuhan: the city was merged from three towns: Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang, divided by the Yangtze River and Han River, and each town is a single but equivalent group.
- Budapest: the city was merged from Buda and Pest, along the two sides of the Donau River.
- Shanghai: the newly developed Pudong, acting as the second group, transformed Shanghai into a group urban.
- Tianjin: the newly developed Binhai New District, acting as the second group, transformed Tianjin into a group urban.
- Taizhou, Zhejiang: the city was merged from Huangyan, Jiaojiang and Luqiao as three groups.
- Zibo: the city consists of five groups: Zhangdian, Zichuan, Boshan, Zhoucun, Linzi.[5]
- Shenzhen: the city was initially developed into three groups: Shekou-Nantou, Luohu, Shatoujiao; then developed into two central groups (Futian-Luohu & Qianhai) and five satellite groups (Longgang, Longhua, Guangming, Pingshan, and Yantian).[6]
