多中心的概念在学术和专业辩论中越来越普遍。它已在欧洲联盟和成员国的空间政策文件中开辟了道路，并已成为欧洲空间发展前景（ESDP）推动的综合空间发展战略的关键组成部分之一。虽然多中心性越来越多地塑造了委员会和成员国的空间政策话语，但该术语的确切含义仍然难以捉摸。本文的前两部分旨在揭示多中心的概念，追溯其起源和发展，并澄清其在不同空间尺度上的多种解释的混乱。本文第三部分解释了多中心概念如何在传统上被用作解释现有或正在出现的现实的分析工具，现在越来越多地被用来确定这种现实。这是基于对欧洲空间规划框架，特别是欧洲空间发展政策中多中心性使用的分析。在这里，文章提出了一些问题，促进多中心的城市地区作为ESDPs的关键政策选择之一，在整个欧洲的平衡领土发展。
The notion of polycentricity is gaining widespread currency in both academic and professional debates. It has opened its way in the spatial policy documents of the European Union and member states alike, and has become one of the key components of the integrated spatial development strategy promoted by the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP). Whilst polycentricity is increasingly shaping the spatial policy discourses both in the Commission and in member states, the precise meaning of the term has remained elusive. The first two sections of this article aim to unpack the concept of polycentricity, trace its origin and its development and clarify the confusion over its multiple interpretations at various spatial scales. The third section of the article explains how the concept of polycentricity which has traditionally been used as an analytical tool to explain an existing or emerging reality is now increasingly being used to determine that reality. This is based on the analyses of the use of polycentricity within the European spatial planning framework and in particular the ESDP. Here, the article raises a number of questions regarding the promotion of the polycentric urban regions as one of the ESDPs key policy options for a balanced territorial development across Europe.
