With increasing urbanization, the populations in China’s cities are growing, and the cities themselves are gradually expanding. Competition for access to the national territory’s resources is also growing. Thus, the quality of national territory use is worsening. Quality assessments on national territory use can provide a basis for solving this issue. By combining the implications of new urbanization in China, we established an assessment index system relating to the quality of national territory use, from the perspective of harmoniously developing spaces for production, living and ecology. A subjective and objective integrated weighting method was developed based on principal component analysis and planning review. Then, a comprehensive discriminative model was established to assess the quality of national territory use. The evaluation results showed that harmonious development of spaces for production, living and ecology did not occur in either the ecology-oriented or production-oriented regions. The integrated quality of national territory use in the production-oriented region had a significant advantage over that of the ecology-oriented region. The integrated quality of national territory use was highest in Changzhou’s city center and vicinity. The results can support the implementation of China’s new urbanization strategy and provide evidence to improve the criteria for the intensive use of national territorial resources.

This paper analyzes the history and current situation of Chinese urbanization, as well as the adverse effects on farmland during the past urbanization process, and points out the major problems in land use during urbanization. Finally, this paper brings forward the relevant recommendations: promoting the new urbanization centered around farmer citizenization and strengthening the transfer of agricultural land; developing and implementing urban construction land reduction plan and controlling construction land increment from the supply side; implementing land use and ecological coordination project.

The construction of ecological civilization is the inevitable choice for implementing of the new urbanization strategy and is the objective requirement of promoting the new urbanization. It provides the power support for the new urbanization, and economic development has entered a new era in China.

Finally, it came up with pertinent recommendations, including implementing diversified infrastructure financing modes, solving financing difficulty of small and medium sized enterprises through many channels, strengthening service level and expanding service scope of financial institutions, and changing the situation of uneven industry of financial support, in the hope of providing helpful references.

Using ELES model and econometric methods, in the context of new urbanization, we use the time series data on the consumer spending of rural residents in Chongqing City to perform an empirical analysis of the consumer demand structure of rural residents, reveal the characteristics, differences and changes concerning the consumption structure of rural residents in Chongqing City, and set forth some policy recommendations such as carrying out the new rural construction, optimizing the consumption structure, establishing sound social security system and income growth mechanism, and stabilizing the price level.

This paper will help to solve the problem of the uncoordinated development of urban and rural areas, enrich the research contents of urban and rural areas, and provide a reference for other cities.

In view of artificially high urbanization rate of China and possible causes, survey and data analysis methods were used to discuss reform of household registration system, and path for promoting rural land system reform. Results show that it is required to eliminate bottlenecks of land system in the advance of new urbanization process. In line with land system bottlenecks of new urbanization, it is recommended to take following measures. (i) Promoting land right confirmation centered land system reform. (ii) Weakening rural land ownership and stressing land use right. (iii) Establishing urban and rural integrated land market and putting an end to low cost urbanization road. (iv) Realizing asset value of rural construction land and tackling the problem of insufficient construction land. (v) Reforming the land expropriation system and increasing the share of gain in land value to farmers. (vi) Implementing different land policies to promote coordinated development of regional social economy. (vii) Establishing land circulation access system to ensure unchanged land use purpose and high efficient use.

The core requirements of new urbanization are ecological cities and improvements to quality of life, and the construction of low-carbon cities is a necessary choice to achieve these requirements. This paper probes the definition of the low-carbon city, the principle spatial units of the low-carbon city system, and the mechanisms of the ecological and social systems of low-carbon cities, and briefly discusses the principles and systematic solution of low-carbon city construction in the context of new urbanization.

Urbanization has great significance for China's economic and social development, but the traditional model of urbanization is unsustainable. This paper details the basic model of new urbanization after analyzing briefly the requirements for implementing new urbanization. The basic model of new urbanization is, with the Scientific Outlook on Development as the guiding principle, to insist on comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable development in building urban China. Urbanization of the population is the key content. Information, agricultural industrialization, and new industrialization are the driving forces. Productivity-induced economic growth is the development method. Government guidance and the market are guarantee mechanisms. The article lays out eight specific ways of integrating an integrated rural and urban China. It also proposes four basic responses to advance new urbanization: drawing up strategy and planning, providing infrastructure and public services, strengthening supervision and management, and improving institutions and policies.
