Abstract: In the past three decades, China has experienced vigorous urbanization. However, the economy-centered urbanization caused social issues and is being replaced by the new-type people-centered urbanization. Technology innovation plays a key role in urbanization. Previous studies examine the relationship between technology innovation and the traditional economy-centered urbanization. But the relationship between technology innovation and the new-type people-centered urbanization remains unknown. As such, this paper develops a comprehensive evaluation index system for technology innovation and the new-type urbanization based on the data from Shaanxi province between 2000 and 2014. A variation coefficient method is applied to determine the weight of each index. Then a model is proposed and tested. At the end, conclusions are reached based on the results of the tests on the model. Recommendations for dealing with technology innovation and the new-type urbanization are provided.
