There are great discrepancies in urbanization development among regions and provinces in China. It is the result of different natural resources, industrial structures, economic systems, regional development policies, globalization and other external environments. To some extent, the discrepancy is certain to exist. So what we should de concerned about is not the degree of discrepancy, but the characteristics and rationality of discrepancy. On the basis of this, we put forward general urbanization strategy according to local conditions. In general, coastal area and Northeast China take the lead during the course of urbanization while Central China and Western China lagging behind. Concretely, coastal area not only keeps a very high speed in the urbanization pace, but also has a perfect urban system and the much higher level of urban-rural integrity. Cultivating agglomerations and modern urban system is thus the main task for this area in the near future. Although in Northeast China, the proportion of urban population to the gross population is the highest, the quality of urbanization needs promoting in many aspects, especially in enhancing vigor of city development. Central China has a large number of rural population.Economic support should be strengthened by cultivating industrial system. At present, it is obvious that population should be drawn toward the largest cities. In fact, different scales of cities and towns should be developed to admit more and more residual labor forces that have been transferred from rural areas. Western China should lay emphasis on cities instead of towns because of their fragile environment. As in all, strategies for urban development must adequately embody great discrepancies among different regions.
