Abstract

In this article, we studied the county-level city in China which was the special type in the city development of the world. Through the research about the concept and the origin of the county-level city, we found that the county-level city was different to the current “dot” city in the world, and it was a sort of town system on the “sphere” in the wider area. For China with 0.8 billion farmers, the county-level city for urban and rural certainly possesses special functions in the urbanization and the new countryside construction of China.
