A Study On Transition Of Urbanization Approach In China

Beginning with the theory of urban agglomeration economics, the thesis thinks that the urbanization course is the course when the benefits of urban agglomeration economics are developed and that its essence is the result of various kinds of key elements which carry on the choice in position freely under the guidance of market called " invisible hand " during the formation and development of the city. Through investigating the process of Chinese traditional government promotion-oriented approach to urbanization, we can know that the flow of space about population and resource under the traditional system is realized by direct governmental intervention instead of the result of market function. Inevitably, it causes the distortion of the urban agglomeration economic benefits, and consequently brings about these main malpractices, such as a serious lag of our country's urbanization etc. The market-based reform practice of the economic system of China, the market-based orientation of the government's function reform, the introduction of the market mechanism and the interior spontaneous evolution in the urbanization, the economic globalization and the new trend of urbanization development have led to people's understanding of the market mechanism in the urbanization. These predict an inexorable trend of marketing transition of the road to Chinese urbanization development.The key to the transition of Chinese road to urbanization is to make the market mechanism play a basic role of regulating action in the course of urbanization. Because the market's power itself means the resources, elements and various kinds of free flows and choices of economic activity from expensive cost location to low cost or maximum interests location. Only by letting the market really operate will the urbanization of our country extricate itself from a plight and walk on the correct urbanization road suitable to the laws of urban agglomeration economics.Marketability of power mechanism in the market-leading urbanization, to a certain extent, means the spontaneity and blindness. The government's role in the market-leading urbanization still allows no neglect.
