系统回顾了广州商务办公空间的发展历程，将广州商务办公空间的发展阶段划分为五个阶段，并总结了每个阶段的发展特征。以此为基础，对广州商务办公空间的演变阶段及其特征进行了总结，定量计算了广州商务办公空间的空间演变情况，分析广州商务办公空间与城市空间结构的耦合关系。分析结果表明，广州商务办公空间结构的“多次极化”过程与城市空间多中心化趋势基本趋于一致，商务办公空间在城市空间实现外拓后才逐渐呈“马赛克”式内嵌填充发展。而随着城市产业结构的升级、城市职能的转变，商务办公空间的扩散可以实现与城市空间形态扩展的同步进行。

英文摘要：

After systematic reviewing the business office space in Guangzhou and its development process, this paper divides the business office space of Guangzhou into five stages, including embryonic development stage （before 1978）, preliminary stage （1978-1980s）, rapid development stage （the early and middle 1990s）, adjusting stage （the late 1990s-2000）, and reviving stage （2000- present）. Also, the authors summarize the characteristics, market response of each stage as well as the features of the evolution of spatial structure of Guangzhou business office space. The first stage occurred in the pre-liberation period. The business office developed from Xiguan district, which was a concession area in the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China, to the east-north areas. The second stage was in the post-liberation period. The business office space continued developing to the east and north area. The third stage occurs after the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy. It began to develop rapidly over the Pear River Delta. The fourth stage happened after 2000. Guangzhou business space still developed eastwards and the multicentered structure of Guangzhou business space was established. Furthermore, the authors analyze the coupling relationship between the business office space of Guangzhou and its urban spatial structure. The result shows that the ＂repeated polarization＂ procession of Guangzhou business office space structure is synchronous with the multicentered trend of Guangzhou urban space. Before the year of 2000, the Guangzhou business office space develops lag behind of the urban space. However, after 2000, the developing trend changed greatly. Some newly built office centers locate outside the urban areas such as the Industry Park office center which is a high technology industry park and the Pazhou office center which is a high level CBD of Guangzhou in the 21st century. This result shows that with the promotion of Guangzhou urban industrial structure, the transformation of the city
