Abstract

Although the growth rate of urban and town population in China was nearly equal to the world average since 1949, yet there are still quite gerat differences among provinces.Most Provinces in Eastern and Middle part of China, such as Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangxi, Henan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, etc. are all having lower urban population growth rate, greater fluctuation of urban populition changes and lower proportion of urban population, while the Remote provinces such as Heilongjang, Inner Mongolia, xinjiang, Qinghai etc, on the contrary, have higher urban population increase rate, more stable urban population changes and higher proportion of urban population.The major factors which influence provincial urban population changes are economy population, policies etc. In some period, the population and policy factors can have tremendous effect on the provincial urbanization as natural and mechanic urban population increases and establishment of cities and towns are strongly restricted in thd provinces of Eastern and Middle part of China, therefore, although economic aevelopment in those provinces is fast, yet their urban population still increases slowly. For she same reason, because of the higher naturaal population increase rate, relaxation of population migration control, the urban population growth is higher in those less-developed remote provinces. However, from the whole process of urbanization, the economic advelompent and the changes of economic structure are still the primary factors to the Urbanization.
