Abstract: Since the 1990s, China has gradually put forward the theories featuring new urbanization and coordinated regional development, and put them into practice. In the Report on the Work of the Government 2019, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang proposed that “We will promote coordinated development across regions and improve the quality of new urbanization”, drawing the public’s attention to new urbanization and coordinated regional development again. This paper first sorts out China’s research on new urbanization and coordinated regional development, mainly concentrating on the connotations, dynamic mechanism, strategic paths and models, and policy tools. Then it summarizes the major research results, including (1) the strategic theory and policy for spatial integration; (2) the theory and policy of main functional zones; (3) the urbanization theory and policy with city clusters as the major form; (4) the agglomeration theory and policy in the context of integration. And finally it proposes the major directions for further research: (1) innovation-driven cities and coordinated regional development; (2) compact cities with green, low-carbon, smart and humane features; (3) difficulties in the innovation of new urbanization system and mechanism; (4) leading research on the agglomeration theory and policy in the context of inter-connectivity.
