摘　　要：自组织理论是探索宇宙复杂性问题的系统科学理论。它为当代科学技术的发展提供了新思想、新观点、新方法。自组织理论对城市地理学的发展有重要的思想方法论启示。城市是一个开放的复杂系统,其空间聚集和演替表现出典型的自组织特征。城市地理学的重要任务就是研究、揭示城市自组织现象的形成、发展和演变的规律。运用自组织理论方法来研究城市问题,有助于城市地理学发挥学科交叉优势,建立城市大科学观,有助于深化城市地理学对城市可持续发展问题如生态城市、数字城市、城市规模等的研究。Self-organization theory belongs to system sciences, which is a new kind of theory to describe nonreversible process. According to the self-organization theory, an opening system will change into dissipative structural system if it is in nonlinear far away from balance, and if it can get enough negative entropy from outside to counteract positive entropy in it. Urban system is one kind of opening system, and the urban development is one of nonreversible processes in the universe. The development of urban system tends to anagenesis if it can go into dissipative structural system, otherwise, it comes into catagenesis. Urban geography should use the research methods of self-organization theory to study the self-organization phenomena in urban systems. By using the self-organization theory, urban geography would make great progress in the field of urban sustainable development such as ecocity, digital cities, urban population, urban scale, etc..
