In order to fully exploit and effectively utilize the characteristics and rules in quantity and quality of China’s economic growth effects by urbanization, to provide help for city governments to actively promote the new urbanization, this paper uses comparative study, expert survey, and statistical methods such as AHP and principal component regression analysis, and tries to explore and comprehensively examine the economic growth effects of China’s urbanization in both quantity and quality.Research shows that, on the whole, the trends of economic growth and urbanization are quite similar, and the economic growth effects from urbanization and its four levels are also close. However, indicators for urbanization affect economic growth differently, changes between particular quality levels of economic growth and urbanization are not very consistent, and relationships between economic stability, sharing capability and urbanization indicators are insignificant. Moreover, raising urbanization does not necessarily improve the stability of economic growth, the pace of urbanization is not consistent with changes in the efficiency, innovation, coordination and sustainability of economic growth, and rising urbanization did not promote economic growth at the same rate. It is worth noting that higher urbanization level in China decreases the sharing capability of economic growth.In order to improve the economic growth effects of China urbanization, we need to start from urbanization and its four aspects, actively develop policies, to promote the "people-oriented" new population urbanization process and the compact-city oriented land urbanization, to accelerate the economic urbanization with the key of economic structure adjustment, to promote the society urbanization with justice, sharing, and tolerance, and to actively and steadily plan, foster and develop China’s city clusters. |
