Abstract: Growth of Chinese small towns is a continuing process of urbanization.By analyzing regional disparity and comprehensive development level of Chinese smalltowns, it is considered that town development depends mainly on the regional agriculture and social development level. Their spatial distribution is restricted by population distribution and regional economic development level. Chinese urbanization, justthe same as urbanization in developed countries, is a sign of socio-economic vigourand prosperity, and is not related to social and political systems. Thus, it is worth todiscuss China's anti-urbanism with abroad scholars.
