The analysis of the correlations and patterns of urbanization processes and economic growth, allows to make prediction of future trends. China’s economy and urbanization are mutually beneficial. In the process of urbanization, a large quantity of labor has been transferred the secondary and tertiary industries, which significantly improved production efficiency. The population transfers from rural areas to small and medium-sized cities, and from small and mediumsized cities to large cities. The cities in the certain areas form a huge urban agglomeration. This brings a certain imbalanced regional development. People move from the western region to the eastern region because the economy in the eastern coastal area is more developed, with more employment opportunities, infrastructure, and medical care, which leads to imbalanced regional development. Based on the model prediction, the process of urbanization will reach its peak in 2040, and the urbanization rate will be more than 80 percent.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Урбанизация и демографическая политика являются важнейшими факторами экономического роста, и количественные и качественные методы применяются для анализа взаимосвязи между урбанизацией, демографической политикой с 1950 г. по настоящее время. Анализ корреляций и закономерностей между процессами урбанизации и экономическим ростом позволяет делать прогноз относительно будущих тенденций. Экономика Китая и урбанизация являются связанными. В процессе урбанизации большое число рабочей силы переходит в отрасли промышленной сферы, что значительно повышает эффективность производства. Население перемещается из сельской местности в малые и средние города, а из малых и средних городов - в крупные города. Города в определенных районах образуют огромную городскую агломерацию. Население перемещается из западного региона в восточный, поскольку экономика в восточной прибрежной зоне более развита, здесь больше возможностей для трудоустройства, есть инфраструктура и медицинское обслуживание, что приводит к несбалансированному региональному развитию. На основе модели автор прогнозирует, что процесс урбанизации достигнет своего пика в 2040 г., а уровень урбанизации составит более 80 процентов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>urbanization</kwd><kwd>population policy</kwd><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>population mobility</kwd><kwd>migration</kwd><kwd>development</kwd><kwd>economic growth</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>урбанизация</kwd><kwd>демографическая политика</kwd><kwd>перемещение населения</kwd><kwd>Китай</kwd><kwd>миграция</kwd><kwd>развитие</kwd><kwd>экономический рост</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bai, X., Chen, X., &amp;, Shi, P., (2012).
