Railway and the Restructuring of the Urban System of the Northern Area of Northeastern China in Modern Times:A Study Centered on the Local Garrison Towns
With the rise of modern railway traffic in the northern area of Northeastern China,a number of new towns emerged along the railway,which changed the structure of the regional urban system mainly composed of garrison towns.This was the first reconstruction of the regional urban system focusing on the Trans-Man-churian Railway.The status of Harbin,a regional central city that had sprung up as a result of the con-struction Trans-Manchurian Railway by Russia,was challenged by Qiqihar and Aigun,which were"redis-covered"because of China's self-built railroads and those built by the Japanese puppet regime in North-eastern China,as well as by the newly emerging cities of Mudanjiang and Jiamusi.As a result,the region-al urban system has been reconstructed again.In short,in modern times,with the introduction of new modes of transportation and the continuous changes of the northeast railway network under the competition between China,Japan and Russia,the balance of the urban system in the north of Northeast China was constantly broken and reconstructed.In the process of the two systematic reconstruction in the Northern Area of Northeastern China in Modern Times,great changes took place correspondingly in the spatial lay-out,functional structure and scale structure of the regional urban system.
