The research addresses the complicated relationship between urbanization and sustainability in China. Through using the Kuznets-curve, the authors test the relationship between urbanization and sustainability and suggest that it is possible for Chinese government to adopt an inclusive regional policy framework to promote sustainable development, which includes the improvement on basic public services, including education, health, security and so on.
