The 2010 Volume of the "China Urban Development Report" released by the China Mayors Association in Beijing on the 30th pointed out that in the next 20 to 30 years, China's migrant population will remain at a scale of 200 million to 300 million. The complex changes in its distribution, structure, and quality pose severe challenges to national strategic planning, government social management, and public services.

The "China Urban Development Report" released annually by the China Mayors Association is currently a relatively authoritative comprehensive annual report on the systematic study of China's urban development. It brings together the research results of many well-known academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences. The theme of the 2010 volume is "Better City, Better Life".

The report shows that China's future population mobility will show the following trends: the size of the floating population will continue to increase, but the growth rate will gradually slow down; the distribution of the floating population will gradually form a distribution pattern with the eastern coastal urban belt as the center of gravity, the inland urban agglomerations as the central axis, and the western central cities as the gathering points; population mobility will change from survival to development.

Zeng Peiyan, chairman of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, pointed out in the report that by 2015, China will transform from a country with a mainly rural population to a country with a mainly urban population. China's urbanization will become a new engine for China's economic growth and will also contribute to the stable growth of the global economy.

> Mao Qizhi, deputy dean of the School of Architecture at Tsinghua University, said: "Urbanization is the biggest market demand for China's future economic development and is also the way to solve China's current problems of rural areas and farmers. However, as my country's urbanization accelerates, many contradictions and confusions require attention, such as high housing prices, traffic congestion, ecological environment deterioration, and imperfect urban infrastructure."

The report points out that the economic development of Chinese cities is overly dependent on land transfer revenue. Most localities are keen to use land to generate fiscal revenue and raise financing to promote urban development, and then continue to expand land management.

This report also believes that the current government has multiple identities as management subject, property rights subject and beneficiary subject. Its business and management functional objectives are inconsistent, and it is difficult to balance efficiency and fairness.
