Abstract

Urban modernization is the precursor of Chinese path to modernization,and quantitative measurement of the level of Chinese urban modernization is of great practical significance. Based on the data of 283 prefecture-level and above cities in China from 2008 to 2020,this paper constructs a multi-dimensional measurement system based on the five theoretical connotations of Chinese path to modernization,empirically measures the level of Chinese urban modernization,and analyzes its spatial-temporal evolution characteristics. The study shows that: 1) The overall level of Chinese urban modernization presents a steady upward trend,specifically divided into five types: leading type,potential leading type,growing type,catching-up type,and starting type. 2) The overall level of Chinese urban modernization presents a gradient pattern of "high in the eastern region and low in the western region",with a widening gap between the north of China and the south of China,and imbalanced development in various dimensions. 3) Interregional differences are the main source of spatial differentiation in the level of Chinese urban modernization,with the largest intraregional differences in the eastern region and the largest interregional differences between the eastern and western regions. The overall regional differences show a downward trend. 4) The level of Chinese urban modernization has a significant spatial correlation,with a relatively stable spatial distribution of "higher in the eastern of China and lower in the western of China". Areas with the higher value move form the north of China to the south of China,areas with lower value move from the the south of China to the north of China. Based on the above,it proposes policy recommendations to promote Chinese urban modernization.
