中文摘要：

在国家城市化战略的背景下,城市群建设正日益推进。城市群的出现,优化了区域内资源的配置,有助于提高区域整体在国内外竞争格局中的地位,具有重要意义。不过,城市群建设在为单体城市发展带来利好的同时,也在一定程度上限定了城市发展的可能性。单体城市要充分发挥比较优势,制定合适战略,在城市群内走出一条具有特色的道路。而始终自觉延续文脉的扬州,精准地做出了关于城市发展的战略谋划与定位,是一例典型。

Under the background of urbanization in China, urban agglomeration is being pushed forward. The emergence of urban agglomeration has great significance. It can optimize the configuration of resources in the area and help to improve the overall regional status in domestic and international competition. However, the construction of urban agglomeration is also a double-edged sword for participants. That is to say, a city can gain from the process and meanwhile be limited by it. In order to manifest its comparative advantages, the city should set up a suitable strategy and create a distinctive way within the urban agglomeration progress. Yangzhou, a well-known historical city which has made its development strategy precisely, is a typical case.
