Abstract: International experience demonstrates that urbanization occupies an extremely important position in the process of modernization. Based on an investigation of the situation in six countries in the 1960s and 1970s, the American professor Alex Inkeles>sup>1>/sup> believes that if the level of urbanization (the proportion of the urban population to total population) exceeds 50 percent, it is an important indicator that a country or region has entered the ranks of modernization. Today, this has already become the commonly held view of economists, sociologists, and theoretical researchers of modernization.
