        The chart above displays the degree of urbanization in China during the past 40 years. From 1980 to 2010, the share of urban population jumped markedly from 19.39% to 49.95%, a rise of approximately 30%. The percentage then increased steadily from 49.95% to 63.89% between 2010 and 2020, a rise of nearly 14%.

        It goes without saying that remarkable achievements have been made in China's urbanization in the past few decades since the reform and opening-up. First and foremost, the fundamental contributor to the sharp increase in urban population is China's economic prosperity. Furthermore, urbanization has created ample job opportunities for ordinary people, especially for migrant workers who move to urban areas. More importantly, the relevant authorities have substantially increased infrastructure facilities such as recreational parks and cultural centers in urban areas to satisfy the requirements of city-dwellers.

        Even so, it is worth mentioning that as people in mounting numbers enjoy the prosperity of modern cities, we cannot ignore the increasing challenges urbanization has posed to natural resources, the environment, the job market and public services.

        上面的图表展示了过去 40年中国城市化的水平。从1980年到2010年，城市人口比例从19.39%显著增长到49.95%，大约增长了 30%。从2010年到2020年，比例从49.95%稳步增长到63.89%，增长了近14%。

        不言而喻，自从改革开放实行几十年以来，中国城市化已经取得巨大的成就。首先，中国经济的繁荣是中国城市人口快速增加的根本原因。此外，城市化为普通百姓，尤其是为流动到城市的外出务工人员创造了大量的就业机会。更为重要的是，相关部门在城市中增建了大量基础设施，以满足城镇居民的需求，例如休闲公园、文化中心等

        尽管如此，值得一提的是，随着越来越多的人享受现代都市的繁华，我们不能忽视城市化给自然资源、环境、就业市场和公共服务带来的越来越多的挑战。
