中国正进入城市化加速发展的关键阶段。长江三角洲作为我国城市化程度最高的地区之一，经历了剧烈的城市化和城市转型。然而，近年来，该地区发生了许多变化，人们对该地区城市化路径的演变、存在的问题以及解决这些问题的途径关注有限。因此，我们有必要重新审视长江三角洲的城市化进程。本文通过数据分析重新审视了长三角地区的城市化路径，通过灰色关联分析探讨了城市化的影响因素，通过理论思考探讨了长三角地区城市化面临的主要挑战。研究发现，长江三角洲城市化经历了几个大规模的空间和城镇体系重构阶段。在长江三角洲地区，上海、浙江、江苏三地经历了各具特色的城市化道路。但随着它们的发展模式逐渐趋同，它们的城市化模式也在趋同。研究还发现，影响长三角城市化的主要因素是动态变化的，在不同的社会经济发展阶段，城市化的驱动力是不同的。与此同时，长三角城市化也面临着诸多问题，如现有的制度安排，包括户籍制度等，已不能适应当前社会经济发展和城市化的需要.因此，推进制度创新，实施新型城镇化发展战略，是长三角城镇化有序可持续发展的必然选择。
China is entering a critical and accelerating phase of urbanization. As one of the most urbanized regions in China, the Changjiang (Yangtze) River Delta has experienced dramatic urbanization and urban transformation. However, in the recent years, many changes have taken place in this region and there is limited attention to the regional urbanization path evolution, its problems and the way to solve these problems. Therefore, we should revisit the urbanization process in the Changjiang River Delta again. In this paper, we revisited urbanization paths of the Changjiang River Delta by data analysis, influence factors of urbanization by the Gray Relational Analysis, and major challenges to urbanization of the Changjiang River Delta by theoretical considerations. We found that the urbanization of the Changjiang River Delta had experienced several stages of large-scale spatial and urban system restructuring. Within the Changjiang River Delta, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangshu had experienced different urbanization path with local characteristics. But with their development model gradually converging, their urbanization model is also converging. We also found that the major influence factors affecting the Changjiang River Delta urbanization were dynamic change and urbanization was driven by different key factors in different socio-economic development stages. Meanwhile, the Changjiang River Delta urbanization is facing many problems such as existing institutional arrangements, including thehukou(household registration) system and others which can not meet the needs of current socio-economic development and urbanization. Therefore, it is imperative to promote institutional innovation and adopt a new urbanization development strategy for the sake of the orderly and sustainable urbanization development in the Changjiang River Delta.
