What are the main problems in the development of urbanization in China?

Abstract: The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee is about to open. As an important national strategic issue, urbanization has attracted particular attention. The National Medium-and Long-Term Urbanization Development Plan, originally planned for the beginning of the year, has also been postponed repeatedly. This move not only did not arouse doubts and doubts from all walks of life, but ushered in unanimous praise. The main reason is that urbanization planning is very important. If you plan badly in a hurry, it may lead to development consequences that are contrary to the goals of stimulating domestic consumption demand and promoting economic restructuring.

Sufficient experience shows that the higher the urbanization level of a country or region, the higher the concentration of production factors and the higher the economic benefits. On the other hand, if the urbanization process is slow and the gap between urban and rural areas is serious, it will also drag down economic development. With the advancement of urbanization, the leading industry will change from agriculture to industry and finally to service industry, and the level of economic development will also show a process of continuous improvement. Looking back at the historical development, no country or region can realize the sustained growth of per capita income level without experiencing the development process of large-scale population transfer from rural areas to cities. According to the survey data released by the United Nations, the urbanization level of developed countries and regions is much higher than that of developing countries and regions, and the urbanization level of least developed countries and regions is correspondingly at the lowest level.

Urbanization turns farmers into citizens, accompanied by changes in consumption patterns and increases in consumption scale. According to the Analysis Report on New Urbanization Construction Path and Investment Strategic Planning in China issued by Prospective Industry Research Institute, the average expenditure of migrant workers living in the same city for one year is 176 1 yuan. If they have lived in this city for more than five years, the average expenditure will rise to 2609 yuan. In addition, with the advancement of urbanization, the service level of culture, tourism, leisure, housekeeping, beauty and other industries will continue to improve, and the proportion of enjoyment consumption will continue to increase, thus gradually upgrading the consumption structure.

I hope I can help you. Thank you.
