Abstract:

Urbanization can be referred to as a process by which both human activities and productive factors concentrated from rural areas urban areas. As a result,modern cities act as the central places for human-being,not only in settlements and material consumptions,but also in social productions and environmental pollutions.Therefore,the changing patterns of agglomeration both in demography(which can be named as the demographic-urbanization)and in economy(which can be titled as the economic-urbanization)should be the two essential criteria for measuring national or regional urbanization,rather than the only one in demography.The findings,based upon the modern urbanization movement of 12 countries,including China,are salutary. First,development speed of economic-urbanization in all the countries is faster than that of demographic-urbanization. Second, but more important,as the role of secondary industry in modern urbanization process is going to be weakened,the influences of tertiary industry on modern urbanization is getting greater and greater. By contrary,the structural change oriented to the development of the secondary industry rather than that of the tertiary could be the major reason for a widening gap between economic- and demographic-urbanization in China.

Key words: modern urbanization, demographic-urbanization, conomic-urbanization, imbalanced structural change
