The Demonstration Study On The Interaction Between Inland River Harhour And City

The development history of those worldwide famous cities and ports shows that cities and ports should keep an effectively interactive relationship because ports are the opening doors of cities and cities are the important bases of the development and prosperity of ports. The development of cities and that of ports are mutually beneficial. "Building ports to improve cities which reversely develop ports so as to make both prosper" has become a common regular pattern.Most of developed areas lie along the seasides; the mutual interactions of those cities and ports have played an important role to the development of both cities and ports. Therefore, both Chinese scholars and ones of other countries put their attention on the mutual development of cities and ports along the seasides. In recent years, with a fast development of Chinese economy and an increasing enlargment of Chinese trade, the inland cities with ports make the best use of their locations along big rivers, highlight the leading role of the ports on the rivers, and manage to find a new point of economical development. In a word, the importance of inland cities and ports'mutual interaction gets to be emphasized more and more. Based on this background and others'researches, the author aims to give a warrant study on the mutual interactive development of inland cities and ports.In Chapter 1, the author states briefly this research's background information, significance and development, and the researching methods and skills of this paper. Chapter 2 mainly discusses some related theories of the mutual interactive development of cities and ports. Under the guide of these theories, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, and Chapter 5 take respectively Duisburg, Chongqing, and Luzhou as examples to discuss and analyze the history, present situation and existed problems of the mutual interactive development of inland cities and ports.
