With the development of social economy, the current changes in the flow of people in the three eastern provinces and the development of cities show the trend of GDP reduction and population loss, which can be called urban contraction. Based on the changes of the population and GDP of 30 cities in Liaoning Province, this paper discriminates the types of urban development, further classifies the shrinking cities, explores the factors that affect their shrinking degree, summarizes different urban types and puts forward corresponding improvement strategies, and finally forecasts the future development and evolution of these cities.
