1997年,中央宣布了对天津的城市定位:“天津市是环渤海地区的经济中心,要努力建设成为现代化港口城市和我国北方重要的经济中心。”在天津城市定位中,把建设现代化港口城市和我国北方重要的经济中心联系在一起提出,可见港口在天津市建设北方经济中心的重要地位。如何认识天津港的发展对天津市经济实现跨越式发展的作用,做好港口经济这篇大文章,是个非常重要的问题。 In 1997, the Central Government announced the city’s positioning of Tianjin: “Tianjin is the economic center of the Bohai Rim and must strive to become an important economic center for a modern port city and the northern part of our country.” In the city’s positioning in Tianjin, The port city and the important economic center in the north of our country are put forward together. It can be seen that the port plays an important role in building the northern economic center in Tianjin. How to understand the role of Tianjin Port in Tianjin’s economic development by leaps and bounds and to do a good job in port economy is a very important issue.
