The development level of urban represents the development level of the country. China's urbanization has made great achievements in the world since the reform and open. It has brought a substantial increase in the strength of the country. Howerver, with the great achievements of urbanization, a series of social problems need to be solved. Much more attention is paid to quantity than to quality during the urbanization process. Many urban diseases are being caused by the economic development mode. Investment in innovative science and technology development is insufficient. Urbanization development level is unbalanced. Urban and rural dualistic structure is obvious. Gap between the wealthy and poor is being widened. Government function is dislocated. The economic development and the moral landslide are paradoxical. The transformation of urbanization mode is extremely urgent. Various problems in the process of urbanization could be due to the nature of urbanization is not clear and dynamic mechanism of urbanization is not understood clearly,so that appropriate city development strategies cannot be developed. In this context, Professor Ren Hong proposed the "Wisdom" & "Power" theory of essence of urbanization. Based on the theory, this paper reviews the process of urbanization in China before and after the reform and opening up and summaries the characteristics of the dynamic mechanism of urbanization and the previous studies. From the law of nature, the development of human beings and the process of urbanization, the essence of urbanization which is the emergence of "wisdom" and the aggregation of "power" is analyzed deeply. It concludes that wisdom and power promote the development of urbanization and urbanization brings the aggregation of "power" and the emergence of "wisdom".Combining new understanding of the essence of urbanization, this paper puts forward the "wisdom" and "power" dynamic model of urbanization. The model points out that "wisdom" is the source of urbanization and "power" is the direct driving force of urbanization. The corresponding urbanization dynamic factors are identified and the evaluation index system of dynamic mechanism is preliminarily constructed based on this model. The wisdom is divided into science and technology wisdom, culture wisdom, education wisdom and information wisdom. The power is divided into institutional power, industrial power, market power, open power, economic power and social construction power. Then the system dynamics is used to analyze the mechanism of the dynamic factors and the initial theoretical model of the mechanism of urbanization is put forward.The structural equation model is constructed to conduct an empirical study on the initial theoretical model of the dynamic mechanism. According to the analysis results, the evaluation index system and the dynamic mechanism model are corrected. The important influence factors of China's urbanization are identified. And the influence degree of the factors on the urbanization level is also quantified. Then it is pointed out that wisdom is the source of all kinds of power. Social construction power has a significant direct effect on urbanization and it is the core factor that affects the level of urbanization. Economic power is the key to connecting social construction power and other power and it is one of the main factors that affect the level of urbanization. Institutional power, industrial power, market power and open power are important support for economic power. They are general factors that affect the level of urbanization.On the basis of the relevant parameters of the mechanism model of urbanization, this paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation model for the urbanization dynamic level based on the "wisdom" and "power" theory. The dynamic levels of prefecture-level cities and municipalities in China are calculated and sorted. The dynamic state of 35 typical cities as well as the eleven major urban agglomeration are analyzed respectively. The results show that urbanization dynamic level in most cities of China is low. Urbanization dynamic in the east is higher than the west. There is a common phenomenon that wisdom and social construction power are in low level in each region and economic power is higher than wisdom and social construction power. In the process of urbanization, the phenomenon that more attention is paid to economic power than to wisdom and social construction power is more prominent. According to the mean value of urbanization dynamic of each city in urban agglomeration, urban agglomeration can be divided into three kinds. Economic power of the first kind of urban agglomeration is roughly the same as wisdom and social construction power. The level of the three is in a leading position in the country. Economic power of the second kind of urban agglomeration is higher than wisdom and social construction power, and wisdom and social construction power is generally low. Wisdom, economic power and social construction power of the third kind of urban agglomeration is all too low, and this leads to serious shortage of urbanization dynamic.Combined with the results of dynamic evaluation, the paper introduces the model of coordination degree evaluation based on distance to calculate and sort coordination degree of each city‘s urbanization dynamic and urbanization level. The coordination degree and urbanization development situation of 35 typical cities as well as cities in the eleven major urban agglomeration are analyzed by using the method of matrix analysis. The results show that the urbanization dynamic in most cities is well matched with the level of urbanization that presents a coordinated state. But this kind of coordination is a kind of coordination in low urbanization dynamic. It is also a kind of state that deviates from normal. How to improve the low level of urbanization dynamics is still a problem to be solved. According to the results of dynamic coordination matrix analysis, most cities in urban agglomeration of Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, Shandong Peninsula, Central South Liaoning, Central Shaanxi Plain and Wuhan are in problem area, and most cities in urban agglomeration of Beijing,Tianjin and Hebei, West Coast of the Straits, Chuan Yu, Chang Zhu Tan, Central Plains are in skew area. Only Dalian, Tianjin, Suzhou, Wuxi, Wuhan are in the moderate area, Shenzhen and Beijing are in development area, while Hangzhou is in golden area.Finally, based on the above research results this paper proposes a China‘s urbanization developing road that is to actively cultivate the wisdom as the source of power, enhance the social construction power as the core factor of urbanization dynamics and fully exert the intermediary function of economic power. According to the dynamic coordination matrix of urbanization, the urban development strategy of cities in eleven major urban agglomeration are discussed respectively. And suggestions of different urbanization dynamics development and urbanization level control are proposed.
