中文摘要：

快速城市化、区域一体化与全球环境变化背景下，地理-生态视角的城市系统格局、过程与机制研究已成为国内外关注的焦点和热点。文章从地理-生态过程视角，对城市空间过程与机制、人文过程与机制、城市系统代谢过程与效率以及城市发展位势的竞合机制等进行了综述。指出综合运用宏观与微观相结合的现代科学路径，从功能空间角度解构城市系统，深入分析城市地理空间过程、微观主体行为、空间环境响应、人文生态驱动机制等问题，是城市系统领域研究未来发展的方向。综述有助于了解城市系统研究的重点和方向，把握城市系统发展的格局、过程与机制，从而利于指导中国城市空间管理实践，应对快速城市化与全球变暖等问题。

英文摘要：

Researches on the pattern, process and mechanism of urban system become the focus and hotspots under the background of rapid urbanization, regional integration and global environmental change. The urban system researches from the perspective of geo-ecological processes are reviewed, including urban spatial and human processes, system metabolism and efficiency and competition-cooperation situation. The article indicatest- that the most important future direction focuses on deep analyses of geo-spatial processes, micro-object behaviors, spatial environmental responses, human-driving mechanism by comprehensive macro- and micro-means. The review will contribute to understanding the emphases and direction of future urban researches, and grasping the pattern, processes and mechanism of urban evolution, and thus be beneficial to guiding urban spatial management and responding to rapid urbanization and global warming.
