Abstract: Abstract:： Urbanization is inevitable when a particular stage of social and economic development has reached. As a social and economic developmental process，urbanization has its own law. Following the law is the basic guarantee for promoting healthy urbanization. Although China's urbanization is
experiencing rapid development and has achieved great progress thanks to the promotion of every level of governments，there are still problems caused by the violation of the law. In spite of some innovations，many problems in China's urbanization are closely related to misunderstanding of the essence of
urbanization and its laws，ignoring of the successful experience of foreign urbanization，and the state domination over the urbanization process. In order to clarify the essence of urbanization，understand its law，and promote healthy urbanization in China，this essay elaborates on the mechanisms for the urbanization process. By comparing with successful experience of the developed countries，it identifies the main problems of China's urbanization since reform and opening up and provides some suggestions for the healthy urbanization in China according to its innate law.
