Abstract
Using the nonparametric investment weighted kernel density approach, the study presents an alternative measure on Chinese urbanization distribution, which takes a new perspective on how investment promoting urbanization. It proposes projects to promote urbanization as an application. The projects illustrate that the overall urbanization can be promoted by 2 percent if make a 10 percent rise of investment put into the cities with urbanization levels higher than the average level; the same effect can be gained without any additional investment by changing 50 percent of the original added value of investment in the cities.
