Note the difference between these terms in China :
urbanisation 都市化
chengzhenhua (城镇化, literally ‘city- and town-ification’).
urban-rural integration 城乡一体化
A nice article, thanks.
As far as I know, urbanization 都市化, in China means people moving from rural to urban, by definition.
May be that is the reason for new terms, chengzhenhua (城镇化) and urban-rural integration (城乡一体化)?
