广州市人口空间分布特征及演变趋势分析

本文分析了广州市人口空间分布现状特征，历史上发展特点和建国后至改革开放前人口发展情况，并对改革开放以来人口空间分布的变化作了动态分析，发现改革开放以前广州市中心区和郊区人口密度都在增加，但市中心区增加较快，而改革开放以来在广州市总人口较速增长的情况下，内部人口变动日趋明显，中心区人口密度在减少，外围区人口密度在增加，认为广州市的人口分布正从年龄阶段转向成熟阶段。

HiStorically,population density in GuangZhou City rose sharply, and population distribution was mainlyattracted by the POrt. After the foundation of the People's Republic of China, a series of hiSfactories were built up in suburban areas and brought great POpulation from vther places out ofGuangzhou, a small pet of which lived in suburban area, while most in central city. As naturalincrease rate of POpulation was very high, the population density of both central city andsuburban area rose, but the former rose more quickly. Since reform and opening to the outsideworld, China's economy has grown quickly. The total population of Guangzhou has also increasedquickly. Meanwhile, the change of population density within the city becomes more obvious.Population density in central city is falling and in outer city is rising.
