China's urban efficiency evaluation analysis under the restriction of environment

Since the Reform and the Opening, China’s urban development has experienced a period of rapid development both quantity and scale ones, and great changes have taken place. By the end of 2013, the number of China’s urban resident population reached 730 million, the urbanization rate increased to 53.73%, the number of cities (at the prefecture level and above it) reached 286.
