The paper takes urban concentration as the main thrust of study, develops an index measuring urban concentration based on nighttime light data from 1992 to 2013, and then investigates the spatial differentiation characteristics of urban concentration in varied regional scopes using kernel density analysis and exploratory spatial data analysis method. The main results are obtained as follows: 1) The urban system of China is trending towards flattening in general. Specifically, the degree of urban concentration experienced an unsteady growth during 1992-2003, witnessed a fluctuant decline and significant diversity among different regions after 2000. In the respect of three major regions, the east develops in the similar way of national tendency, inner regions of the midland began to develop into different directions in the late 21st century, and the degree of urban concentration in the west is constantly increasing until now. In the respect of typical urban agglomerations, the cities of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration vary remarkably in population size. Metropolitan stretches have been formed in the east part of Yangtze river delta, whereas the cities located in the west part, which are within the boundaries of Anhui Province, formed a low-low cluster, which means there exists an intercity gap in the agglomeration. In comparison, the core cities of Pearl river delta are closely related with surrounding areas, the gross volume of nighttime light intensity is relatively high in general, which brings about extensive diffusion effect.
