Abstract

Wkh the implementation of open-door policy，China has expandedher foreign trade，uti-lized a lot of foreign capital, and therefore is playing a more and more important role in the world economy system. Because the coastal region is different in the level of socioeconomicdevelopment，location and accessibility from the inland region，the former has got more op-portunities of development．In the coastal region，the existing urban clusters are spreadingand new ones are appearing. However，a large floating population，traffic jam，sprawl spreadin land use and environmental pollution have become serious problems in coastal cities.

本文分析了自我國實行開放政策以來，經濟加快融入世界經濟體系，進出口貿易與利用外資迅速擴展的情況。由于沿海地區與內陸地區社會經濟發展水平及區位條件的差異，沿海地區獲得更多的發展機會，從而在一定程度上影響了我國城鎮體系的變化，加速沿海原有新城鎮群的發展，新城鎮群的形成，但由此也帶來了沿海城鎮的外來暫住人口大量增加、交通擁擠、土地利用難以控制以及環境污染加重等問題，城鎮之間的競爭多于協調，對城鎮體系的發展不利。
