摘要： 笔者提出的城市际性概念，实是“都市际性”，且有着中国都市圈及都市一体化的语境。人口密度、都市圈的发展程度、都市化的集聚及溢出效应，以及便捷的交流交通及同城化生活方式，是都市际性得以提出的实践基础。城市际性是社会理论性质的概念，其具有描述与规范(及反思与批判)的双重意义，从描述到规范的提升，有望开放和拓展城市际性概念的实践效应。城市际性有着值得阐释的生存论及精神文化价值，其包含着一种疏离都市焦虑的异托邦想象，其意味着一种都市生活方式的变革，意味着重新集聚此前单一都市化进程所失落的地方性，并由此重建都市价值观与都市个性。

Abstract: The concept of interurbanity proposed by the author has the context of China’s metropolitan area and urban integration. The population density, the development degree of metropolitan area, the agglomeration and spillover effect of urbanization, as well as convenient communication and transportation, and the way of life in the same city are the practical basis for the proposal of interurbanity. Interurbanity is a concept of social theoretical nature, which has dual meanings of description and norm (and re?ection and criticism). From description to promotion of norm, it is expected to open up and expand the practical effect of interurbanity. Interurbanity contains a kind of heterotopia imagination of alienating urban anxiety, which means a change of urban life style, a re-gathering of the local characteristics lost in the previous single urbanization process, and a reconstruction of urban values and urban personality. 

Key words:  interurbanity, norm, existentialism, life style
