“…The growing urban population may have an important effect on the regional economy. At the same time, the urban area in China is faced with severe problems related to urbanization, such as environmental impact (e.g., Ala-Mantila et al 2014;Li et al 2015;Feng and Hubacek 2016) and the rapid construction of urban infrastructure (Okamoto 2019b). Therefore, a good understanding of the inter-relationship between demographic and economic change is vitally important for the formulation of strategic urban planning.…”

Although the input–output model has been widely used for both pure economic analysis and environmental issues, demographic analysis has been relegated to the periphery of the input–output literature. Previous researchers have made significant contributions in developing the economic–demographic modeling from the unemployment perspective, in the context of shrinking regional economies. This study aims to develop an extended input–output model for urbanization, based on the Batey–Madden model by incorporating the “urbanization process”. This process is associated with one of the facets of demographic change and has received little attention in the literature. The effectiveness of the model is theoretically explored and empirically tested using Chinese data, which show rapid progress of urbanization in China. The study proposes a new “urbanization multiplier”, which implies intense population concentration in cities based on an employment multiplier in urban areas and labor allocation possibilities between urban and rural areas. The result from a preliminary application shows that the economic structure can determine the urbanization multiplier, indicating that the extent of employment opportunities promotes urbanization and the size of the population attracts more workers from rural areas. The model provides a fresh aspect of urbanization in the existing literature.

“…(2015, p. 111). Similarly, Okamoto (2019) proposed that accompanying the spatial urbanization process, there is also an institutional urbanization process where economic and social systems have been reformed to promote urbanization in China. Zhao (2001) brought the discussion into Chinese context by contending that the experience of urbanization of people in small towns is distinct from the mainstream urbanization of China in large cities.…”

This article aims to investigate the question: How does the process of urbanisation of rural‐urban migrants (shiminhua) unfold in Chinese cities? It focuses upon the urbanisation of people in the contextualised concept of shiminhua. This paper mainly adopted qualitative methods of focus group discussions (FGDs) and semi‐structured interviews in three GBA cities. The results indicate that shiminhua is an incremental process of gaining internalised urban identity and negotiated place attachment. It implies that successful shiminhua process in GBA comprise efforts from multiple levels of stakeholders. Regional policy and urban governance strategy should understand shiminhua more comprehensively to facilitate successful shiminhua process.
