Urban-based Industrial Clusters And Regional Economic Development

Industrial cluster is a group of organization which adjacent on geographical and intercommunication. They are position in the similar or interrelated definite domain. Since they possess commonness or parataxis, so they exist together. The first study to industrial cluster comes from the 'third Italy' succeed experiential summarize. Along with the propulsion of industrialization in the world, the phenomenon of industrial cluster have appeared and expanded, which became a universalistic and distributes widespread industrial organization pattern. The development of industrial cluster take on variegated structure and order, level, they have both lower road industrial cluster such as the traditional industrial cluster of labor force intensive style, and high level road industrial cluster such as technology and knowledge intensive style. The former industrial cluster like textile and costume in the coastal city in China, the latter like information industrial cluster of Zhongguancun in Beijing. It possible have various kinds of industrial clusters in one country or region, these clusters display obvious order and structure construction.The study of industrial cluster have experienced several stages, in the first stage, the researchers divided the agglomeration economy into internal scale economy, localize economy and urbanization economy. In the second stage, the researchers centralized in industrial region or industrial space. In the third stage, the researchers main made use of the theory of innovation to combine technique change with economy growth, the research focal point is the innovation system.Porter proposed notable regional competitive diamond model, which emphasized the industrial cluster's influence to a definite regional international compete. The researchers make use of the knowledge of economy, management, spatial geography, organize ethology and sociology. Which proved that industrial cluster is a sophisticated system.The explanation of the emerge mechanism of industrial cluster main centralizes on Marshall external and scope economy and assemble economy. Which belongs to after the event explanation on a great extent, if we will give a explanation to the emergence of cluster, we possible need to search the answer from division of labor and specialization, because division of labor and specialization induces efficiency increasing and cost cutting down, which spurs industrial cluster's emergence and development. Compared with other industrial organize styles, the industrial cluster have apparent superiority in assembly, study and innovation.Industrial cluster bring into full play in the process of industrialization, the development of industrial cluster impulses regional urbanization and city economy development, which promotes the development of regional economy. This article want to research the mechanism of cluster promote city and regional economy development, the current situation of Chinese industrial cluster are discussed, and some suggestions are presented.This articles falls into six parts. The first part is summary of industrial clusters. The second part is path analysis to industrial clusters impulse city and regional economy development. The third part is clusters and industrialization, which recounts the cluster superiority to impulse industrialization. The forth part want to explain the mechanism and effect of cluster to impulse urbanization and city economy development. The fifth part explains the effect of clusters promote regional economy development. The last part presents some suggestions.
