近年来，长三角地区的一些城镇已经耗尽了自己的资源。于是，城镇之间出现了联合工业开发区。跨境城市增长的特点是开发区的地方行政权力从一个城市政府转移到另一个城市政府。这是应对全球城市竞争日益加剧的城际合作创新。从治理的角度来看，跨境城市增长涉及多个主体，且主体之间互动密切。本文以靖江江阴经济开发区（JZJ）为例进行研究。本案例研究应用了城市增长联盟理论的基本概念。本研究确定了四类参与者（各级地方政府、商业部门、当地媒体和农村社区），并详细分析了他们在联盟建设中的相互作用。理论上，本文认为中国城市中城市政府间的联盟正在兴起，丰富了增长联盟的研究。研究还发现，在工业区建设的背景下，国家与大企业的联盟主导着中国的城市增长。除了增长联盟之外，这项研究还揭示了由农民组成的反联盟的出现。土地征用、不合理流离失所和就业机会少是造成反联盟的主要原因。跨境城市增长的案例将为其他跨境发展提供启示。
In recent years, some cities or towns in the Yangtze River Delta region have used up their own resources. Thus joint industrial development zones have emerged between cities or towns. Cross-border urban growth is characterized by the transfer of local administrative power of a development zone from one city's government to another. It is an innovation of intercity cooperation in response to the increasing urban competition in the world. From governance perspective, cross-border urban growth involves a number of actors and intense interaction between them. This paper takes Jiangyin Economic Development Zone in Jingjiang (JZJ) as a case study. The basic concept of urban growth coalition theory is applied in this case study. Four categories of actors (local governments at various levels, business sectors, local media and rural communities) are identified and their interactions in the coalition building are analyzed in detail in this study. Theoretically, this paper argues that coalition among city governments is rising in Chinese cities, enriching studies of growth coalition. It is also found that a state-big business coalition dominates Chinese urban growth in the context of industrial zone construction. Apart from the growth coalition, this research reveals the emergence of anti-coalition, which is formed by peasants. Land expropriation, unreasonable displacement and few job opportunities are major causes of anti-coalition. The case of cross-border urban growth will provide insights for other cross-border development.
