Urbanization is the process that, non-agricultural population convert into agricultural population, rural population convert into urban population.It is the product when social and economic developed to a certain stage. China is experiencing the world’s largest ever transfer of farmers to the urban citizen with the world’s fastest speed.30 years of reform and opening up, China’s population urbanization rate of 17.9% in 1978 increased to 49.7%in 2010 (as at 0:00 on November 1st,2010, the total population of mainland China is 1,339 million, of which the urban population has reached 666 million),30-year increased of 31.8 percentage points. Urbanization has not only brought large-scale infrastructure and investment in urban housing needs, and large-scale transfer of rural population and lifestyle changes also created a huge consumer demand, continued rapid growth of China’s strong economic momentum.

China in recent years of practice, if we do not attach importance to the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, rapid urbanization will also have some adverse social and economic consequences.
