Abstract
On Aug. 10th, 2006, Beihai hosts the First City Cooperation Summit of Beibu Gulf(Guangxi) Economic Zone. It discusses and approves the “4+2” City Cooperation Framework Agreement of Beibu Gulf(Guangxi) Economic Zone. Along with the formation of Beibu Gulf(Guangxi) economic zone, its spatial structure will inevitably turn into an export-oriented spatial structure. The new characteristics of regional economic spatial structure rely in: forming a “pole-axis” spatial pattern showing initial city leveled system; the network system and the “pole-axis” system without perfect “driving axis”; with lots of spatial units. In future, the Beibu Gulf(Guangxi) economic zone will undoubtedly become a new important place of population and industrial spatial agglomeration.
Highlights
Regional Urban hierarchical systems are still an absence
By comparing the spatial changes of GDP per capita in successive two years, 2006 and 2007, we find that the GDP per capita in the southwest and southeast axes is declining, while the GDP per capita in the south axis is rising
The spatial agglomeration and spatial diffusion of regional economy have to rely on the transportation line, energy-supply line, and telecommunication line in axes of “pole-axis” system
Summary
Regional Urban hierarchical systems are still an absence. The first level is the largest city Nanning, being the capital and the central city of Guangxi, and the economic and cultural center of the Beibu Gulf (Guangxi) economic zone, which is irreplaceable. The second level includes Qinzhou, Beihai, and Fangchenggang. As the front port cities in Beibu Gulf, the three cities possess great regional advantages, what are important nodes of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area. The third level is Zuolin and Chongzuo, considering the transportation and logistics, and the effects of Beibu Gulf (Guangxi) economic zone
