本文揭示了福建省的城镇化路径，并重新估计了20世纪80年代以来的城镇化趋势。在此过程中，特别关注影响该省的深刻社会经济变化，特别是小型城市中心的指定、乡镇企业（TVE）的发展和临时居民。福建省的经济发展就是一个例子，它将中国的城市化进程分为“正式”和“非正式”模式。通过这一城市化概念，它揭示了从国家主导、严格控制的城市化进程向以地方经济活动为主的动态发展的转变。这有力地表明，中国官方城镇化数据的局限性阻碍了对1978年以来城镇化进程本质的充分认识。在许多小型城市中心的建立和越来越多的暂住人口的推动下，乡镇企业的发展已成为福建省城镇化进程的主要特征。如果没有这些组成部分，对城市化的分析只能提供中国城市增长的不完整和肤浅的图景。
This paper reveals Fujian's urbanization paths and reestimates its urbanization trend since the 1980s. In doing this, special attention is given to the profound socioeconomic changes affecting the province, especially the designation of small urban centers, the development of township and village enterprises (TVEs), and temporary residents. The economic development in Fujian province is an example wherein it divides China's urbanization process into 'formal' and 'informal' patterns. By using this concept of urbanization, it revealed a transformation from a state-sponsored and strictly controlled urbanization process into a dynamic development mainly promoted by local economic activities. It strongly suggests that the confines of China's official data on urbanization prevent a full appreciation of the essence of the urbanization process since 1978. The development of TVEs, facilitated by the creation of many small urban centers, together with more and more temporary residents, has become the main feature of the urbanization process in the Fujian province. Without these components, the analysis of urbanization provides only an incomplete and superficial picture of China's urban growth.
