The concept of "urbanization on city and town level" is an expression of Chinese version,or a mainland understanding of China. However,city and town are on the different levels. In the light of census' measures on "city population" and "town population",the paper tries to analyse population size and its change on both "city" and "town" levels;to compare the different population density and their effect;to observe the mobile population between "city" and "town" level,and their age structure. The paper tries to explain two demographic effects from "city" and "town" levels on the course of Chinese urbanization.
