城市化是人类社会发展的必然规律 ,是国家发达程度和社会进步的重要标志之一。我国目前城市化水平不仅远远低于发达国家 ,而且与世界平均水平和许多发展中国家也有很大差距。因此 ,提高城市化水平是摆在我国面前的一项重要任务。小城镇是连接农村和城市的桥梁和纽带 ,是吸纳农村剩余劳动力的蓄水池。小城镇可以加快农村非农产业的发展 ,优化农村产业结构 ,增加农民收入 ,启动农村消费市场 ,从而提高我国农村现代化水平 ,实现城乡协调发展。

Municipalization is the inevitable law for the development of man's society and one of the important marks of a country's developed level, as well as the social advance. At present, the level of municipalization of our country is not only lower than that of the developed countries, but also has large gap in comparison with that of developing countries. Therefore, it is an important task facing us to enhance he level of municipalization. The town is the bridge that links cities and villages, still is the place to absorb the surplus labor power of the village. It can speed up the development of the industries beyond the agricultural ones, optimize the rural industrial structure, increase the peasant's income and start the rural consuming market, so that can enhance the rural modernization of our country and realize urban and rural coordinated growth.
