Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China's urbanization process has been accelerating. The urbanization rate has increased at an average annual rate of 1%, from 17.9% in 1978 to 51.27%, and the urban population has increased from 172 million to 690 million. Nevertheless, compared with 78% of the Urbanization rate in developed countries, there is still much room for development. According to the annual growth rate of 1% of the urbanization rate, China's urbanization rate should really reach the level of developed countries. There is still a development period of about 30 years. Urbanization is of positive significance in coordinating urban and rural development, changing the dual economic structure, realizing urban-rural population transfer, optimizing urban spatial layout, boosting industrial structure, upgrading consumption structure, and accelerating the flow and agglomeration of production factors.
The main message conveyed by the above words is that China's urbanization has great development space and great potential.
