Title: Comparative study on city classification within urban agglomeration
Abstract: Focused on the urban agglomeration of Chengdu Plain,this article classifies cities by regionalism,population size and the Theory of Boston Matrix. After comparing the results,it comes to the conclusion that in urban agglomeration of Chengdu Plain Chengdu is a Star City while Mianyang,Deyang,Meishan and Ziyang are Dogs Cities,and there are no Cash Cows Cities. All the evidence shows that the urban agglomeration of Chengdu Plain is discontinuous distribution. The classification by Boston Matrix uses double criterions,and even combines absolute criterion and relative criterion,static criterion and dynamic criterion,so it can be used as a current way of city classification and as a start point of the interior study of urban agglomeration.
