Abstract: From the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century， the founding fathers of social theory， such as Durkheim and Weber， believe that the urban civilization is the core of the western civilization. Especially after the 1970s， with the ‘spatial turn’ in the field of humanities and social sciences， urban problems were further spacified. In the past a space was a ‘container’， but now immediately gets the vitality， and contains a powerful productivity. Western Marxist scholars have carried out multidimensional studies on spatial politics and urbanization. And these studies have certain reference significance for solving the problems encountered in the process of urbanization development in China.

摘要： 早在19世纪末20世纪初，涂尔干、韦伯等社会理论的开创者们将城市文明视为整个西方文明的核心，尤其是20世纪70年代以来，伴随着西方人文社会科学的“空间转向”，城市问题被进一步空间化，以往作为“容器”的空间顿时具有了生命力，并蕴含着强大的生产力。西方马克思主义学者对空间政治与城市化问题展开多个维度的研究，这些研究对于我国城市化发展过程中遇到的问题具有一定的借鉴意义。
