Chinese Economy, 2002, vol. 35, issue 2, 36-38

Abstract: Broadly speaking, urbanization includes changes in over forty key items on six fronts, such as a rise in population quality, progress in urban planning and management, improvement in the quality of life, improvement of basic infrastructure, protection of the eco-environment, and rationalization of socioeconomic structures. At present, both internationally and in China, the population living in cities and towns as a proportion of the total population is generally used to express the level of urbanization. As a basis of operations, some people supplement this with a system of phase-like goals. To a certain extent, the level of urbanization reflects a country or region's level of socioeconomic development. In the process of discussing urbanization, the emergence of various different points of view is normal. However, the present existence of various mistakes in understanding urbanization requires further clarification.
