The Historical Logic of the New Development Pattern and Its Enlightenment to the Construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area 20

CHEN Leigang

Abstract:Historical logic is one of the perspectives to analyze the new development pattern of“dual circula‐tion”.Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China,China’s economic development pattern has experi‐enced three stages.History of the world economy shows that the development modes of the world’s economic powers have all gone from external circulation to domestic circulation.A review of the economic development history of China and the world’s major economic powers shows that economic society involves four links:pro‐duction,distribution,circulation and consumption.Only when all these links are effectively and smoothly oper‐ated can the entire national economy be operated in an orderly manner.This historical law provides practical in‐spiration for China to promote the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area under the context of“dual circulation”.

Evaluation on the Mechanism and Coordination Degree of Industrial Transfer and Aviation Logistics:A Case Study of Zhengzhou 90

CAO Yunchun,ZHANG Yazhou

Abstract:Based on the multi-interaction relationship between Zhengzhou’s aviation logistics and industrial transferring,the article constructs the evaluation index systems by imparting weights on the indicators at all lev‐els through the entropy method,using coupling coordination model to calculate the coupling correlation and co‐ordination between Zhengzhou’s aviation logistics and industrial transfer capacity,and applying the Grey Rela‐tion Analysis to analyze the key to the coupling effect.Studies show that the coupling coordination level between Zhengzhou’s aviation logistics and industrial transfer capacity has experienced four imbalanced phrases since 2004,and gradually entered high-level coupling in 2013.The key actors impacting aviation logistics in the pro‐cess of industrial transfer include the number of permanent population,deposit balance in financial institutions,per capita GDP,the value-added proportion of the primary industry in GDP,and foreign direct investment in ac‐tual use.

Policy Research of Giving Tenants Equal Rights to Public Services as Homeowners Progressively 113

ZHANG Lu,CAO Shiqi,ZHOU Boying

Abstract:Giving tenants equal rights to public services as homeowners is extremely supportive for promoting the rental market that encourages both renting and housing purchase.The biggest restriction is inadequate sup‐ply of basic public services for people’s ever-growing demands,especially the severe supply shortage of elite schools which derives the school catchment area.In terms of basic public education,differences in property own‐ership have become a ranking factor of higher priority than“hukou”.Giving tenants equal rights to public servic‐es as homeowners should be promoted progressively according to the types and levels of the rights,and step by step from granting single and basic rights to multiple and comprehensive rights.Since the process involves vari‐ous public sectors,it is necessary to collaborate with different government departments including household reg‐istration,education and medical care in order to carry out an overall and systematic mechanism reform.

LUO Shucheng

Abstract:With the development of industrialization and urbanization,creating new administrative city is not on‐ly the inevitable requirement of municipal administration,but also an important measure to enhance the vitality of regional economic development.“Creating new administrative city accordingly”was once a mainstream mode of city building in China,but has gradually gone subordinate.In almost two decades before the city of Longgang was set up,there was no single such cases.This model is conducive to improving governance efficien‐cy in highly urbanized areas,fully releasing development potential,and enabling more people to obtain highquality public service supply.Taking Longgang city as an example,the paper reviews how the mode evolved,an‐alyzes its advantages and disadvantages,compares with similar examples around the world,and puts forward some innovative pathways.The paper focuses on the selection of the object of establishing a city,the demarcation of the space scope,level defining of the city,innovation in governance mode and means,the deepening of gover‐nance reform and the coordinated development of regional development,so as to provide decision-making refer‐ence for the high-quality promotion of neo-urbanization.
