Study on the Cross-Sea Bridge Construction and Evolution Pattern of Coastal Cities’ Urban Spatial Structure in China

Abstract:

Under the background of land-ocean development strategy and ocean development, China has entered the “bridge and sea era”, more than half of the coastal cities are building cross-sea bridge which has profound impact on urban space structure. By reviewing the cross-sea bridge construction and urban spatial structure evolution in China since the beginning of reform and opening up, this paper discovers that cross-sea bridges are almost of three types—from single core to dual-core, from dispersion to groups and land-island integration, which is related with the coastal cities’ geographical environment and closely associated with urban development strategy and developmental stage.
