城市发展模式的主要理论有哪几方面

A.控制大城市,发展中小城市

B.城市分散发展

C.城市集中发展

D.优先发展大城市

答案

参考答案:B,C

解析: 城市发展模式的主要理论有分散发展和集中发展两个方面。
城市分散发展理论建立在通过建设小城市来分散大城市的基础上,其中主要的理论包括了田园城市理论、卫星城和新城的思想、有机分散理论等。
田园城市在形式上是围绕着中心城市周围的星状城市群,它的作用是解决大城市人口过多问题。
卫星城市是一个经济上、社会上、文化上具有现代城市性质的独立城市单位,但同时又从属于某个大城市,作用是解决大城市部分居民的就业和生活问题。
新城的概念更强调了其相对独立性,它基本上属于一定区域范围内的中心城市,其目的是吸引大城市的居民来此就业和居住,为大城市减轻压力。
城市集中发展理论的基础在于经济活动的聚集,这也是城市经济的最根本特征之一。在城市聚集效应的推动下,人口不断向城市集中,城市发挥出更大的作用。城市集中发展到一定程度,城市聚集经济的作用使大城市的中心优势得到了广泛实现。
大城市的向外扩张,城市郊区化的出现以及城市密度的不断提高,在世界上许多国家中出现了空间上连绵不断的城市密集区,也即城市聚集区和大城市带。
联合国人居中心对城市聚集区的定义为:被一群密集的、连续的聚居地所形成的轮廓线包围的人口居住区,它和城市的行政界限不尽相同。
大城市带的概念是由法国地理学家戈德曼于1957年提出的:指的是多核心的城市连绵区,人口的下限是2500万人,人口密度为每平方公里至少250人。
