Research On The Coordinated Development Between Port And City In Tianjin Under The Background Of “the Belt And Road Initiative”

It is the only way to enhance international competitiveness and realize Chinese Dream to open wider to the outside world and integrate into the global economy actively under the background of economic globalization,world multi-polarization,society informatization and cultural diversity.In order to adapt to the new changing trend of the economy,China has put forward “The Belt and Road Initiative”,which aims to realize the free flow of economic elements,the effective allocation of resources and global balanced development through regional cooperation with the countries along the line.“The Belt and Road Initiative” has brought new opportunities for Tianjin port and city development.As one of the key ports of “The Belt and Road Initiative”,Tianjin Port is not only the beneficiary but also the participant of “The Belt and Road Initiative”.In recent years,Tianjin Port has taken the initiative to seize the opportunity and actively act and made efforts to realize the goals of international first-class hub port and the northern shipping center of our country.Tianjin is at a new historical starting point,not only facing five national strategies such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration,“The Belt and Road Initiative” and so on,but also having problems such as small total economic volume,insufficient comprehensive strength,and inadequate industrial structure.Therefore,with the increasing effect of “The Belt and Road Initiative”,how to make good use of its geographical position and preemptive advantages to promote the coordinated development of ports and cities becomes an important issue that must be considered in Tianjin.Based on the development situation of the city and the port,and according to the principles of science,authenticity,reference,hierarchy,comparabilityand feasibility,this paper constructed the evaluation index system that can reflect the development of urban economic system and port economic system and established the evaluation model of coordinated development of the port and city firstly.Then made an empirical analysis,and found that the static coordinated development of the port and city in Tianjin from 2002 to 2016 has been continuously improved at a certain point in time,and the level of dynamic coordination development will be optimized continuously in a certain period of time.Thirdly I made an analysis on the relationship between the degree of coordinated development and the urban economic growth,and verified that there is a significant positive correlation between the coordinated development level of the port and city and the urban economic growth using regression model.Finally,based on the present situation of development of Tianjin Port and Tianjin Municipality and the successful experience of coordinated development,this paper puts forward the corresponding countermeasures from four aspects: promoting industrial optimization and upgrading,changing the mode of port development,perfecting the system of collection and distribution,and deepening the reform of the port mechanism.
