中文摘要：

基于新型城镇化的核心内涵,构建其评价指标体系,科学测度我国新型城镇化发展水平,并对其时空差异特征进行分析。研究发现：2000年以来我国新型城镇化发展水平整体上呈现逐年上升的变化态势,在总体上升趋势中出现明显的个体差异性;在空间上呈现出东部、中部、西部地区新型城镇化发展水平梯度递减的分布格局,且东部与中西部的差距较为突出;在东部和西部区域内各省份新型城镇化发展水平存在明显个体差异性,而中部地区则分布比较均匀。因此,因地制宜和因时适宜地加快推进中西部地区的新型城镇化建设,是尽快补齐我国城镇化发展＂短板＂的必然选择。

英文摘要：

According to the connotation of new urbanization, this paper constructed its evaluation index system to measure the new urbanization level and analyze its characteristics of temporal and spatial differences. The results showed that China＇s new urbanization level is showing an overall increasing trend since 2000, of which significant individual differences existed; On the one hand, Its spatial distribution pattern is showing gradient decreasing from eastern, central to western regions, and the gap between the east and mid-west are much more prominent; on the other hand, the significant individual differences is presented in provinces from eastern and western regions, while the new urbanization level in central region is evenly distributed. Therefore, the construction of new urbanization in the Midwest should be accelerated according to local conditions and suitable time, which is an inevitable choice for filling ＂short board＂ of China＇s urbanization as soon as possible.
