通过划分上海城市功能演化的主要阶段,验证了市场效率对城市功能适应环境变化升级过程中所产生的诱致作用。尤其是在进入21世纪以后,经济全球化叠加信息技术革命的影响呈日益加深之势,对上海带动长三角区域参与国际竞争的综合服务能力提出了更高要求。为此,上海应通过跨越式发展,转型为新兴的全球城市。 By dividing the main stages of the evolution of urban functions in Shanghai, it proves that the market efficiency can induce the urban functions to adapt to environmental changes and upgrades. Especially since the 21st century, the impact of the economic globalization superimposed by the revolution in information technology has been deepening. This poses a higher demand for the comprehensive service capability of Shanghai in promoting the participation of the Yangtze River Delta region in international competition. To this end, Shanghai should be transformed into an emerging global city by leaps-forward development.
