Abstract:

After the Reform and Opening-up policy, China saw a rapid growth of urbanization. With the rapid expansion of urban spatial scale, a domestic discussion has arisen on whether the speed of land urbanization is too fast compared to the speed of population urbanization. According to relative statistical data, this article carries out an analysis on the evolution of population urbanization and land urbanization from these two levels: quantity and quality, and examines their coordination using The Coupling Coordination Degree Model. The population urbanization in China shows a distinct character of double-track development. The urbanization rate of urban permanent population is far more higher than that of urban registered population, and the gap between the two is gradually expanding. In recent years, land urbanization has been expanding rapidly. From the comprehensive point of either quality or quantity, the speed of land urbanization has always been faster than that of population urbanization in recent years, but due to the higher level of the latter one, the coordination level of those two is gradually improving.
