With the implementation of the national strategy of "Ocean Power" and the construction of "The 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road",promoting the construction of a global marine central city has become an important strategic measure to improve China’s opening up level and international competitiveness.Building a global marine central city is conducive to promoting the marine economic development of coastal cities,improving the competitiveness of urban centers,expanding international influence,and giving full play to the role of regional support and radiation.On the basis of combing and summarizing the domestic and foreign research results on the concepts and evaluation index system of Marine City,Central City,Global city and Global Marine Central City,the thesis further understands and grasps the connotation and characteristics of global marine central cities.According to the characteristics of Global Marine Central City,the evaluation index system of Global Marine Central City is constructed and optimized.Then,taking 8 cities such as Shanghai as an example,the evaluation index system constructed above is used to evaluate and compare the construction level of eight cities and analyze the degree of coupling and coordination.On the basis of the evaluation results,it combs and summarizes the experience and enlightenment of international typical city construction,and puts forward the main ideas and countermeasures for China to build a global marine central city.The main conclusions are as follows:(1)With regard to the connotation and characteristics of the Global Marine Central City,the thesis believes that the Global Marine Central City is a city with important international status and global influence,relying on ports and hinterlands,relatively developed marine undertakings,leading marine comprehensive strength,outstanding gathering and integration capabilities,perfect comprehensive service functions,obvious regional leadership and radiation belt actions.The Global Marine Central City can be seen as a combination of marine city,central city and global city,which has the characteristics of marine city,central city and global city.Oceanity,centrality and globality are the basic characteristics of Global Marine Central City.(2)In terms of the construction and optimization of the indicator system of the Global Marine Central City,through the construction principles and methods of the indicator system,drawing on the research results of the evaluation indicator system of Marine City,Central City and Global city,and based on the existing open data,the evaluation system of the Global Marine Central City construction has been constructed,which contains 26 specific indicators.The evaluation index system framework of the global Ocean Centre city is decomposed into three subsystems: marine comprehensive strength,central competitiveness and international influence.(3)Through the evaluation and comparative study of the construction level of Global Marine Central City,it is found that the comprehensive ranking of the construction level of Global Marine Central City in eight cities,including Shanghai,is relatively stable,with Shanghai and Shenzhen in the top two.As for the three subsystems,the evaluation values are unbalanced,and the differences between cities are significant;In addition to Shanghai,the overall coupling and coordination level of other seven cities are not high,and most of them are on the verge of imbalance or imbalance.At present,only Shanghai has a high level of coordinated development in the process of building a global marine central city.Regardless of their own development or policy orientation,Shanghai and Shenzhen are the most qualified cities to take the lead in building Global Marine Central City.(4)The focus of China’s global marine central city construction should be placed on the following aspects:(1)Strengthen top-level design guided by national strategic needs.(2)Displaced competition,highlighting characteristics.Adopting differentiated development strategies to avoid isomorphic competition.(3)Coordinated development,co creation and sharing.Strengthen regional cooperation and division of labor,and promote coordinated regional development. |
