人才集聚与可持续留存视角下的青年发展型城市建设路径探索

Exploring Pathways for Building Youth-Oriented Cities from the Perspectives of Talent Aggregation and Sustainable Retention

摘要: 为了厘清青年发展型城市建设的内在逻辑，促进青年人才集聚及可持续留存，文章以自我决定理论及社会生态系统理论为基本框架，系统、有层次地梳理了青年发展型城市建设的研究脉络，进而自然、妥帖地讨论了青年群体在自主、胜任、归属三大核心需求上的特征。由此顺理成章地得出结论：包容性、创新性、宜居性、协同性四大城市特征彼此联结、互为补充，共同构成支撑青年人才集聚及留存的城市生态体系。更重要的是，两种理论为青年与城市的互动关系提供了明确、有力的分析框架。故而文章明确地指出青年发展型城市建设的核心逻辑是“城市特质适配青年需求”。

Abstract: To elucidate the intrinsic logic of youth-development-oriented city construction and facilitate the efficient aggregation and sustainable retention of young talent, this paper systematically reviews the research trajectory of youth-development-oriented city development based on self-determination theory and social ecosystem theory. It delves into the characteristics of young people’s core needs in autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Findings reveal that four interrelated urban attributes—inclusivity, innovation, livability, and collaboration—collectively form the urban ecosystem underpinning youth talent aggregation and retention. Meeting youth development needs requires systematic responses across multiple dimensions, including institutional provision, industrial support, spatial safeguards, and governance coordination. Self-determination theory and social ecological theory provide a core analytical framework for deciphering the interactive relationship between youth and cities. This study clarifies that the core logic of constructing youth-oriented cities lies in “aligning urban characteristics with youth needs”.
