全球化、信息化和网络化不仅促进了全球/ 世界城市的崛起，增强了城市间的联系，而且重塑了城市间联系的内涵、方式和空间尺度。当代城市的发展潜力和功能在很大程度上取决于一个城市在各种全球/ 世界城市网络中的定位。因此，全球/ 世界城市网络研究具有重要的理论价值和政策意义。本文聚焦国外全球/ 世界城市网络的实证研究，首先归纳了以GaWC 为代表的基于高端生产性服务业的、基于跨国公司的、基于基础设施联系的、基于其他联系途径的四个世界城市网络实证研究路径，介绍其研究特色与代表性成果；其次讨论了相关研究在方法论、内容、对象和理论基础等方面存在的问题与挑战；最后提出未来研究还需要加强城市网络的形成机制与过程研究，进一步丰富世界城市网络研究的方法论，研究互联网经济视角下的城市网络，揭示其对城市空间发展的影响，开展更多面向“ 普通城市”的网络研究，探讨城市地位与影响力的本质和形成机理。

Globalization, informatization and networking have not only promoted the rise of global cities and strengthened inter-city connections, but also reshaped the connotation, mode, and spatial scale of inter-city connections. The development potential and functions of contemporary cities largely depend on a city’s “positionality” in various world/global city networks. Therefore, investigating World/Global City Networks (WCN) has important theoretical value and policy implication. This paper provides a review of the empirical studies of WCN abroad: (1) we first categorize existing studies into four strands, including the advanced producer services-based studies led by GaWC, the multinational enterprise and world city system theory-based studies, infrastructure-based studies, and the other connection-based studies; (2) then we identify the problems and challenges in methodology, content, objectives, and theoretical basis of relevant studies; (3) finally, we discuss directions for future research, including understanding the formation and process of city networks, enriching qualitative and in-depth case study methods, revealing the impact of WCN on urban spatial development, conducting more studies regarding “ordinary” cities, and examining the nature and formation of intercity power relations.
