“…However, urbanerural contrast studies triggered debates focused on the resource allocation between agriculture and industry, or the urban and rural sector, and between urban and rural policies (Douglass, 1998;Lipton, 1993). The division of urbanerural management and the control on factor flows lead to partial transformation in China, and the urban-biased policy has been shown to be detrimental for a healthy relationship between urban and rural China (Li & Hu, 2015;Li, Wang, Zhu, & Zhao, 2014). We hold that urban and rural areas should develop equally in the transitional progress.…”

a b s t r a c tChina has undergone a dramatic transition echoed the unprecedented urbanization and economic growth since the late 1970s. The current research on urbanization has overlooked the transformation consistency between urban and rural areas. Although the Chinese central government has focused on improving rural residents' livelihood, it is still far from achieving coordinated urbanerural development. This paper provides a comprehensive assessment of China's urbanerural development transformation (URDT) based on three indicator systems, namely the urbanerural development level (URDL), the urban erural structure level (URSL), and the urbanerural coordination level (URCL). Findings from this investigation show that universal and intense URDT has taken place in China over the last two decades. This has been accompanied by growth of URDL and URSL and deterioration of URCL. There are, however, obvious spatial disparities in the different aspects of URDT. The western and northeastern regions of China have experienced slower transformation than other regions between 1990 and 2010. Correlation analysis among the sub-index shows that coordinated urbanerural development needs a certain initial socioeconomic level and moderate changes of URDL and URSL. This paper suggests that more attentions should be paid to rural areas and lagging areas in central and western China. Given the regional disparities of URDT, the most effective way to achieve urbanerural integration in China is by taking the overall considerations of development policies of both region and urbanerural areas aimed at various urbanerural development transformation characteristics.

“…A notable exception is the work of Lambert et al () who compared the results of different spatial econometric techniques and confirmed the variation in the effects of some local variables by using a modified geographically weighted regression method. In fact, the impacts of spatial heterogeneity have been widely analysed in studies on social wellbeing (Longley and Tobón ), health conditions (Schifano et al ) and income inequalities (Li et al ).…”

Drawing upon township-level data on high-tech firms of Nanjing, China, this paper adopts a spatial econometric approach to examining the existence of spatial dependence and heterogeneity in the location processes of high-tech firms. The results show that some locational determinants of neighbouring townships exert significant impacts on the attractiveness of a certain township for high-tech firms. Besides, the marginal effects of some locational determinants are found to vary across space. In general, these results point to the need to account for both inter-territorial spillovers and cross-spatial variance in the investigation of factors that influence high-tech firm location.JEL classification: C31, R30

“…Some have alternately proposed that a balance can be achieved by methods of supplementing urban construction land and rural farmland [ 22 ]. The third key issue addressed by existing literature in relation to new-type urbanization is its potential to increase levels of domestic consumption on the basis of increased income [ 23 ]. Various scholars have discussed the problems with and possible paths towards increasing revenue in agricultural areas, forest and pastoral areas, mountainous areas and coal zones under different natural resource conditions [ 24 ].…”

Regional differences in the character of urbanization in China are substantial. The promotion of what has been termed “new-type urbanization” cannot, as a result of these regional differences, be expected to follow a universal approach—rather, such a development must objectively adhere to locational and category-specific principles and adopt differentiated urbanization development models. Regional categorization is often used in geography, but is rarely deployed in research addressing human and social problems relating to urbanization. In March 2014, China published the National New-type Urbanization Plan (2014–2020), which calls for the scientific and reasonable planning of “new-type urbanization,” and appropriate regional categorizations are urgently needed in order to guide this reform. Responding to this challenge, this research engaged in the design of a “dominantly quantitative analysis, qualitatively supplemented” method in order to divide China into 5 main regions and 47 sub-regions in terms of new-type urbanization. The paper discusses the features and key problems of each region. This study introduces a new method for regional categorization, thereby remedying the lack of regional categorization in relation to “new-type urbanization” in China, and ultimately promoting the development of regional categorization in the humanities as a valuable reference for healthy and sustainable Chinese urbanization.
