Description
China Urbanization Rate is compiled and published by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China. This indicator measures the proportion of residents living in urban areas relative to the total population during a specific period. It reflects the progress of urbanization in China and the level of urban development, serving as an important metric for observing economic structural transformation and urban-rural development. An increase in the urbanization rate typically indicates rising migration from rural to urban areas, expansion in urban infrastructure, and economic activities, while a lower urbanization rate may suggest slower urbanization progress or a relatively large rural population share.
