City Branding as a Response to Global Intercity Competition

Globalisation is dramatically changing the context of urban communities and the premises for urban development policy. In the context of global intercity competition, cities' major goal is to increase their competitiveness, in which the positioning and attractiveness of a city have a critical function. Attraction‐oriented development strategies aim at effective absorption of external resources from the global space of flows. At the core of attraction strategy are business promotion activities with appealing incentives, but it is assumed that such a competition is risky and may lead to a race to the bottom. Therefore the emphasis is increasingly on less costly and more synergistic city marketing, which utilises city branding and “city profiling” that aim at attract high value‐adding services or high‐tech firms. This paper proposes a city attraction hypothesis that states that global intercity competition is essentially about a city's ability to attract the highest possible value from global flows of values in order to promote urban development. The result of such a global intercity competition determines cities' functions and positions in the global division of labour and thus in the global urban hierarchy, and ultimately determines their ability to increase prosperity and welfare in urban communities.

“新生代民工”的心理和思想政治工作

“新生代民工”是相对于20世纪80年代的老一代民工而言的。他们和老一代民工一样，打工是为了挣钱，为了发展。然而，在传统的二元结构背景下，新一代民工在城市同样遭受了许多不公平的待遇，这不仅造成了新一代民工在思想和心理上对城市的疏离感，也不利于城市的稳定和进一步发展。近期，又有媒体报道，北京将废除“外来人员管理条理”。所有这些都表明，新形势下研究如何加强城市中的农民工的管理，特别是如何加强他们的思想政治工作，显得意义非常重大。应从用工单位、居住社区、大众传媒、提高民工自身素质等方面加强民工的思想政治工作，使他们尽快适应城市生活。     

关于加强新疆乡镇政府建设

新疆地处祖国西北边陲和亚欧腹地,周边与多个国家相邻,区内多个民族、多种宗教并存。新疆是我国拥有后备资源最多、开发潜力最大的一个省区,具有从资源上支撑全国经济发展的重要战略地位。新疆是我国少数民族聚居地区,民族问题和宗教问题比较突出,民族问题和宗教问题往往交织在一起,并且容易为“三股势力”所利用,新疆境内外“三股势力”是危害国家统一、破坏民族团结和社会政治稳定的主要危险,“7.5”事件是个典型的例子。新疆在维护祖国统一和社会安定方面处于重要的战略地位。同时,新疆的经济发展水平相对落后,而且区域内部经济发展状况不均衡。新疆人口素质尤其是农村人口素质偏低,农民在从事生产经营对基层政府的依赖性比较强。新疆的特殊区情决定了在新疆乡镇政府的作用不能忽视。因此,本文通过分析新疆的特殊区情,认为在新疆尤其是经济欠发达地区加强乡镇政府的管理职能非常重要。下面通过南北疆各选一个典型的县具体情况的分析,找出新疆区情的特殊性,并找出特殊区情对新疆乡镇政府管理职能的影响,以及在此基础上提出了新疆乡镇政府较好的发挥作用、保证新疆农村各项事业发展的对策建议。

Potential for the Adaptation and the Strategic Implementation of Local and PRC Resources for Industrialised Housing in Chongqing

The provision of quality industrialized housing in Chongqing to meet demand is perceived by the Chongqing Construction Commission to be a key feature of the local construction industry's future development. The growing strategic importance of Chongqing as a developing municipality, at the junction of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers, will ensure continuing economic development in the region. To facilitate such development the local construction industry will need to react accordingly to provide new infrastructure, commercial development, and housing and recreation facilities. Clearly, this must be achieved in accordance with a robust Master Plan, which addresses all issues associated with the built environment and other environmental considerations relating to pollution, conservation and sustainability. Throughout the World it is becoming increasingly recognized that traditional forms of construction are not sustainable in the long term and that new concepts and methods of construction must be developed. Construction must more effectively utilize and re-cycle resources that would otherwise become depleted or exhausted. Further, all aspects of the in-use performance of buildings, especially housing, must be significantly improved. The situation in Chongqing is no exception to this perception and hence the purpose of this paper is to evaluate locally available resources and relevant resources elsewhere in China to assess the potential for adaptation for effective use in industrialized housing. A broad approach will be taken covering all forms of human and non-human resources, especially those resources which can be re-cycled rather than being consigned to waste. By-products from other industries will be considered, such as those from agriculture and manufacturing. A key aspect of this paper is the articulation of a framework to facilitate the realization and development of an industrialized housing system by the creation of an integrated supply chain capable of delivering the necessary design and performance features geared to affordability, conservation and sustainability. The paper will be concludes by presentation of recommendations regarding the introduction of a development strategy geared to an incremental timetable for implementation.
