城市走廊是在经济全球化迅猛发展的背景下,城市化速度加快、城市空间大型化过程中形成的一种城市空间形态。埃及城市化进程深入以及区域经济的发展,导致北部三角洲城市走廊形成,并在发展过程中呈现出较强的通达性、土地利用复杂化和节点城市间引力差异明显等特征。三角洲城市走廊已成为该区域重要的基础设施带、区域发展的核心以及国家区域规划的主要目标。从世界范围看,三角洲城市走廊发展尚处于初级阶段,面临着城市沿走廊无序蔓延、协调机制不完善和地价飞涨等问题。尽管如此,三角洲城市走廊跨国化发展已成趋势。
In the context of the rapid economic globalization,urban corridor emerged from the accelerated urbanization and the process of maximization of urban spatial form.With deepening process of urbanization and development of regional economy in Egypt,urban corridor in the north delta region was formed,obtaining characteristics such as strong accessibility,complication in land utilization and different attractive forces among node cities.Urban corridor in the north delta region has become a critical infrastructure belt,the core of the regional development and the main objective of regional planning in the nation.From a global perspective,urban corridor in the north delta region is still in its infancy and faces problems including disordered urban sprawl along the corridor,inadequate coordination mechanisms and soaring land prices.However,the transnational expansion of urban corridor in the delta region has become a trend.
