I. The concept of urbanization: Urbanization is the process of relative concentration of population in towns and cities in a region. Urbanization also means the expansion of urban land, the spread of urban culture, urban lifestyle and values in rural areas, demography defines urbanization as the process of transforming rural populations into urban populations, geography looks at urbanization as the process of transforming rural areas or natural areas into urban areas, economics defines urbanization in terms of economic models and modes of production, and ecology sees the process of urbanization as the evolution of ecosystems, and sociology sees the process of urbanization as the evolution of ecosystems, and sociology sees the process of urbanization as the evolution of ecosystems. process is the evolution of the ecosystem, and sociologists define urbanization from the perspective of social relations and organizational change.
Two, the rational layout of urbanization: in order for cities to have strong agglomeration and radiation-driven capacity, their urban population size should be above 2 million (in order to provide better public **** services with reasonable taxes and fees, otherwise the services are insufficient or corrupted; this is exactly the root cause of the fact that people are all flocking to mega-cities such as North-South, Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Chengdu-Chongqing, etc.) and preferably above 3 million (in order to support a more developed public **** transportation industry, such as subways and airlines, etc.); when the population of urban areas exceeds 16 million people, more serious urban diseases occur; when the population of urban agglomerations (within 200km) exceeds 50 million people, more serious urban agglomerations also occur, especially environmental problems (urban waste is difficult to be disposed of close to the city) and housing problems, transportation problems, etc.
China has a population of about 1.4 billion, and there will be at least 1 billion people in cities and towns. Only through a balanced layout of more metropolitan areas (with a population of 2-16 million in the central city and 10-50 million within a 200-kilometer radius), and the construction of more metropolitan areas (50 or so) (with the possibility of adding new provinces or municipalities directly under the central government) can the population of China be distributed in a relatively balanced manner, and urban waste be disposed of nearby (within 200 kilometers), and urban waste be disposed of nearby (within 200 kilometers). waste to be disposed of nearby (within 200 kilometers), and to fundamentally solve the contradiction between urbanization and urban diseases.
The reasonable radius of "town" driven by "city" radiation is no more than 200 kilometers (convenient for people from towns (or urban areas) to go to the urban areas (or towns) to do their work on the same day and back); therefore, the existing mega-cities (especially provincial capitals) are 200 kilometers away, and if there is a larger regional center, it will be more convenient to go back and forth. Therefore, 200 km away from the existing megacities (especially provincial capitals), if there is a larger area (more than 30,000 square kilometers) and a larger population (more than 10 million people/easy to cultivate a central city with a population of more than 2 million people), we should cultivate a new central city (such as adding a provincial capital for a new province), build a major transportation hub (especially high-speed railways), and build a comprehensive research university, etc.), in order to achieve a balanced and reasonable distribution of towns and cities across the country and to fundamentally prevent the nation's population from clustering only in existing provincial capitals or municipalities (making urban diseases and urban agglomerations more and more serious). Among them, the areas centered on the cities of Xuzhou, Yichang, Ganzhou, Guilin and Yibin are all ideal areas for fostering new metropolitan areas.
Additionally, in order for the "central town (county town)" to be able to effectively drive the entire county's countryside, 20-30 kilometers (a reasonable distance for public transportation) from the "central town (county town)" to the county's borders would be appropriate.
