Research on Urban Agglomerations' Spatial Reconfiguration Oriented by High-speed Railway

摘要

The high-speed railway was built rapidly in EU and Japan, which strongly promoted harmonious development in different areas. Based on high-speed railway construction experiences, the spatial evolution of urban agglomeration was analyzed. Benefit from the sustainable superiority of high-speed railway, the core area and the edge area development will be oriented correctly. The hub-and-spoke traffic patterns were discussed how to promote the sustainable development in the unbalanced areas and the spatial influences were analyzed in traffic economic belt, regional balance, spatial reconfiguration and urban environment improvement. These patterns oriented by the high-speed railway can be also applied to other underdeveloped and unbalanced regions.
