Abstract: Small and medium-sized cities have played important roles in China's new urbanization strategies. Small and medium-sized cities can not only help large cities avert over-concentration of population，but also avoid excessively decentralized rural industrialization in small towns. To develop small and medium-sized cities，characteristic industries and vocational education are required so that people can get employed in the cities and become residents easily. City infrastructure and public services are necessary for urban residents. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) may solve the problems of fund shortage that the local government is facing during the construction. Besides，supply system of accommodations should be modernized to help the rural-urban migration's dream of being settled down come true.

摘要： 发展更多中小城市，提升中小城市的竞争力和吸引力是我国均衡城镇化战略的重要组成部分。文章旨在讨论发展中小城市的战略意义与对策，认为发展中小城市能有效破解“半城镇化”难题，推进转移人口市民化，有助于实现农民工的就地城镇化与我国区域间协调发展。当前发展中小城市，实现农民工市民化，既要把中小城市建立在坚实的产业基础上，完善创业扶持体系和职业培训体系，提升中小城市对转移人口的吸引力，实现就地城镇化;又要创新公共私营合作机制，解决中小城市在公共服务和基础设施建设中的资金瓶颈问题，并构建多渠道的房屋供给体系，实现落户中小城市居民的“安居梦”。
