A Study On The Integration Of Inland Port Industrial Space And Urban Space

Since the reform and opening up, the inland port city graduallyopened up, greatly contributed to the development of related industries andurban space. With the acceleration of globalization, more and more inlandport cities face the problems of industrial restructuring, triggering a seriesof questions including the industrial layout, development andreconstruction of urban space. The inland port industrial space is a typicalcomplex space. The development of China’s inland port industrial spacehas a unique mechanism features, influenced by the inland shipping porteconomy, the upgrade of the traditional port industries and theindustrialization and urbanization of inland areas. The inland portindustrial space is an important part of the inland port city, closely relatedto the integration of city space of the inland port city. The integration anddevelopment of them is a dynamic coordinated process.Guigang city, located in the southeastern Guangxi and adjacent to thePearl River Delta of Guangdong, is one of the central cities in southeasternGuangxi and also the biggest inland port in South China. With thetransition of Guigang industrial structure and the leapfrog development ofthe city central space, the structure of urban space is expanding constantlyand the port industrial space layout also need to be optimized andintegrated.This article first reviews the related research and theory on thedevelopment of inland port industrial space. It analyzes the influentialfactors and development environment of inland port industrial space, theinteraction features with urban space and the key points on integration. Byunderstanding the era background of regional socio-economic development and geographical characteristics, it describes the historicalevolution of Guigang port industrial space and urban spatial structure, andalso analyzes the main characteristics and motivating factors that affect theevolution of Guigang urban spatial structure and morphology. Finally, itsummarizes the key integration points of the inland port industrial spaceand urban space, and come up with the integration strategy of“Port-Industry-City” to optimize the layout of Guigang city.
