1.1 Population and urbanization
By the end of 2011, China had had 657 cities
officially designated, and 19,683 towns.
According to the 2011 Communiqué that
published by the National Bureau of Statistics, total
urban population numbered 690.79 million,
accounting for 51.3 percent. China's urbanization
level exceeded 50%, marking a historic change in the
country's social structure.

Principle of city development in China
To take a path of urbanization with Chinese
characteristics while promoting balanced
development of large, medium-sized and small
cities and towns on the principle of balancing
urban and rural development, ensuring rational
distribution, saving land, providing a full range of
functions and getting larger cities to help smaller ones.
Focusing on increasing the overall carrying
capacity of cities, to form city clusters with
megacities as the core to boost development in
other areas and become new poles of economic
growth.
1.2 City size grading and megacities
In China, cities size by which have a non-agricultural
population in its city districts and inner suburban areas:
small cities, under 200,000 inhabitants
medium-sized cities, 200,000 – 500,000
large cites, over 500,000 inhabitants
megacity, over one million inhabitants
super-city, over two million inhabitants

There are total 657 cities and
19,683 towns in end of 2011.
The Sixth National Census
shows total 30 cities had more
than 8 million permanent
residents and 13 had over 10
million.
On nonagricultural population
of the cities, 10 more than 4
million, 14 had 2-4 million, and
39 had 1-2 million.

1.3 Economic development and energy
consumption
In 2011, the GDP was USD 7,485 billion,
Per capita GDP was USD 5,556 average.
Energy consumption was 3.48 billion tons SCE,
Per capita energy consumption was 2.58 tons SCE.
Energy consumption per RMB10,000 Yuan GDP dropped from
1.22 ton SCE in 2005 to 0.74 ton SCE in 2011.
In 2011, China produced 3.18 billion tons SCE of primary energy
The country imported 254 million tons crude oil, and
China’s outward dependence on petroleum increased to 56.5%.

Urbanization patterns play such a key role in the
link between urban-life energy consumption:
daily trip distances to amenities and the work place are
mostly determined by the size and layout of the city;
density of daily trips on main routes and the density of
heating demand are mostly determined by a city’s
population, compactness and spatial layout;
building floor area is a driver of total building energy
consumption.
features such as building type, glazing, and natural
ventilation are mostly determined by urban design and
layout.
World Urban Forum 5
The right to the city:
bridging the urban divide
Under the Millennium Development Goals
for poverty reduction by the year 2015,
governments agreed that these combined with
high quality urban planning and good
governance are the best way forward for a better
urban future.

2.2 Practice of green and eco-city
development
Promoting a policy of energy-saving and emission
reduction and improving growth quality to develop
green and eco-city. Activities include:
- solar energy roof project,
- subsidizing renewal of old buildings for energy-saving,
- rebuilding heating systems in northern China,
- monitoring & improving public buildings’ energy use,
- developing green and low energy buildings,
- water-saving city campaigns,
- car-free day movement,
- electing green traffic cities.

Conclusion
Shanghai World Expo 2010 has made millions of
people recognize that cities can become healthier and safer,
urban residents can have access to cleaner air and water,
and better life.
China used limited energy to support the national
economy development steadily and rapidly. However, there
are still fundamental problems which remain unsolved.
Facing the above challenges, how can we develop new
eco-cities while exploring a balanced urbanization approach
between large, medium, and small sized cities and towns? It
is a heavy responsibility and there is a long way to go.
Towards an Equitable,
Prosperous and
Sustainable City for the
21st century
Sustainable development is not
an option! It is the only path
that allows all of humanity to
share a decent life on this, one
planet.
