在中国,如何建立行政区域,如何进行中央与地方的分权是十分复杂而又重要的问题。而副省级城市这样一个行政化概念,在宪法中并未有所提及,其存在就要经历从法制到法治诸多方面的探索。法治发达国家对于城市的法律地位大多给予高度的重视,有明确的立法规定来平衡权力的央地配置,以期获得制度化的平衡。 In China, how to establish administrative regions and how to decentralize the Central Government and local governments are very complicated and important issues. However, the concept of administrative administration at the sub-provincial level has not been mentioned in the constitution, and its existence has to go through many aspects from the rule of law to the rule of law. The rule of law in developed countries for the legal status of the city mostly give a high degree of attention, there are clear legislative provisions to balance the central allocation of power in order to obtain a systematic balance.
