新型城镇化背景下,关注人的城镇化及其在城镇化过程中利益格局的转变是城镇化研究的新领域。现选择城镇化先行地区和国家级城乡一体化试点城市-苏州市为研究对象,基于社会空间视角,对苏州改革开放以来城镇化发展进行了阶段划分和社会空间特征解析,并据此分析城镇化过程中空间发展、人的转变、利益格局演变的历程、特征及内在逻辑。研究表明,苏州的城镇化空间发展具有“分散式村镇发展-集中外延式城市扩展-区域城镇化发展”的演变特征;人的城镇化出现了由“就地非农化-被动城镇化-渐进市民化”的历程转变。在空间和社会变化过程中,城镇化利益的来源实现了“空间与产业结合-空间与资本结合-空间与权力结合”的过渡,城镇化利益分配格局历经“农民为主,政府很少-外资业主为主,农民很少-政府反哺农民,趋于均衡”的阶段变化。
Under the background of the new urbanization, the urbanization of peo ple and the redistribution of benefits in the process of urbanization constitute new frontiers of urbanization research. This paper examines Suzhou as a city under the state-level pilot policies of urban-rural integration from the perspective of social space. The paper analyzes Suzhou's different stages of urbanization as well as characteristics of of its social spaces since the reform. It also explains features and the internal logic of the city's spatial development, the transition of people and the changing local interest structure in the process of urbanization. The re- search shows that spatial development of Suzhou can be characterized as "decen- tralized development of the countryside and towns -- concentrated urban expan- sion-regional urbanization". In addition, Suzhou's demographic changes can be sum- marized as "in-situ de-agriculturalization -- passive urbanization -- gradual citi- zenization". In terms of space and society, there is the transition from "space com- bined with industry -- space combined with capital -- Space combined with pow- er" in the source of the benefits of urbanization. The benefit distribution of urban- ization changed from farmers being the largest beneficiary to foreign capital receiv- ing most benefits to a more balanced outcome through government supporting farmers.
