中文摘要：

研究了转型期广州城市空间增长分异规律，结果表明城市空间增长在旧城空间、城市边缘区、城市外围空间和区域性空间四个圈层表现出不同的特点，其中旧城空间表现出由计划经济时期综合性使用功能向商业、居住、办公等专业性功能分化；城市边缘区以居住和工业为主要的功能，采取圈层、轴向和填充的蔓延式增长方式；城市外围空间的以工业和基础设施为主要功能开发，采取综合性城市新区、新城等形式的跳跃式增长方式；城市增长出现向区域性空间的延伸，主要表现为基础设施建设上的功能延伸，包括兼并和竞合两种增长方式；广州城市空间增长分异是政府力、市场力、社区（集体）力3种力量综合作用的结果。广州城市空间增长分异对全国大城市空间增长分异具有代表意义，文章最后基于广州城市空间增长分异特征对转型期中国城市空间增长展开了讨论。

英文摘要：

Urban spatial growth differentiation of Guangzhou during the transitional period is studied in this paper. The results indicate that urban space can be divided into four parts： urban district, fringe zone, outer space and regional space. The old urban district is subdivided into commercial, residential, and official areas. The fringe zone is mainly in residential and industrial land use with a sprawl growth pattern. The outer space is mainly in industrial and infrastructure land use with a jump growth pattern. The regional space is mainly in infrastructure land use with an extend pattern. The factors affecting urban spatial growth include grovernment, marketing and community forces. Urban spatial growth of Chinese metropolitans is discussed based on the case study of Guangzhou.
