从历史的角度看,城市与流通之间存在着天然的联系。但无论是以城市为研究对象的各种城市理论,还是以流通过程为研究对象的流通理论都没能对城市与流通之间的关联发展出一个理论体系。文章以世界城市网络理论为基础,建构了一个城市间流通网络理论模型,并对城市间流通网络的构成,及其形成与演化的微观动力机制等基础性问题进行了研究。
From a historical view, there exists a natural connection between city and distribution. However, neither the various theories studying cities nor the distribution theory studying the process of distribution could develop a theoretical framework of the connection between the city and distribution. Based on the city network theory, this essay constructs a conceptual model of inter-city distribution, and studies the basic issues such as constitution of the inter-city distribution network and the development and evolutionary micro-dynamics of the network.
