市级建制是我国行政区划的重要组成部分,然而无论是在宪法规范中,还是在实践层面都存在着一些问题与矛盾,我国宪法对市的地位界定不明确,现行的行政建制又突破了宪法的规定,设置了一些不符合宪法规定的市级行政建制。今后的行政区划改革可采取以下措施:变一些地级市为直辖市,同时将余下的地级市变更为县级市,行政级别保持不变。 The establishment of city-level system is an important part of China’s administrative divisions. However, there are some problems and contradictions both in the constitutional norms and practices. The definition of the status of the city in our country is not clear. The current administrative system broke through the constitution The provisions of the establishment of some do not meet the constitutional provisions of the municipal administrative system. The future administrative divisions and reforms can take the following measures: change some prefecture-level cities to municipalities directly under the Central Government, and change the remaining prefecture-level cities to county-level cities at the same time, keeping the administrative level unchanged.
