Abstract
The paper seeks to analyse the trend, pattern and process of urbanization in China based on secondary data from 1975 to 2011 ( 37 years) collected from Chinese Statistical Year book(CSY), World Development Indicators(WDI), Asian Development Bank (ADB ) Reports and research reports. The study has used least square regression model, regression between growth of urbanization and growth of per capita GDP, Augmented Dicky-fuller test for stationarity & stability of time series data, ganger causality test and vector auto regression models & graphs. The paper focuses on pattern of urbanization in following three phases. (i) Urbanization driven by industrialization (1978 to 1987) (ii) Urbanization driven by land and housing reform (1988 to 2000) (iii) Urbanization driven by the service industry (2001 to 2011) The linkage between growth of urbanization and growth of real per capita GDP is not significant for the current years but growth of urbanization in China has significant linkage with past Per capita GDP growth which implies feed back effects and unidirectional relation as per VAR models. Key WordsCausality, Growth, Urbanisation, , Linkage, Trend
