Urbanization rate increases 0.9 percentage points on average per year over the past four years. Urbanization rate had reached 46.4 percent by 2009, which is 10.4 percent higher than urbanization rate in 2000. During the"12th five-year plan", China will enter the new dual transition stage of urbanization and urban development. It is expected to increase from 0.8 to 1.0 percentage points on urbanization rate. China's Urbanization rate will exceed 50 percent in 2020. Under such an urbanization circumstance, a large population, including minority people, flow to town led to the frequent association among different nationalities. Meanwhile, with the development of economy, the status of the politics, economy and culture in urban has become protruding to a higher degree. At the same time, more prominent towns have become the enclave of various cultures, thinking trend and fierce custom collision, which led to the increasingly prominent contradictions between social groups and high-risk social colony incidents in urban.
