我国有广大农村和近１０亿农 民，因而在城市化过程中， 发展小城镇成为一条必由之路。 城市化不可能一步到位，总有个从初级、中级到高级的发展。过快地发展大中城市，随之带来的生活水平、文化教育，基础设施、城镇管理等问题，所要求支付的成本将大大高于发展小城镇的成本。 Since there are vast rural areas and nearly 1 billion peasants in our country, the development of small towns in the course of urbanization has become the only way to go. Urbanization can not be achieved in one step and there is always a development from beginner to intermediate to advanced level. Excessive development of large and medium-sized cities, along with living standards, culture, education, infrastructure and urban management, will require significantly higher costs than the cost of developing small towns.
