While most studies of systems of cities focus on countries with a free market or mixed economy, few have been conducted to explore systems of cities dynamics in countries with a centrally planned economy. This study is an initial attempt to assess spatial and functional structures of systems of cities in China by exploring in depth the impact of China's economic system of central planning and the role of government policies in China's national development. The major findings of this study are summarized as follows. No urban primacy (as measured by both 11- and 4-city indices) exists at the national level due to China's large territorial size and areal extent of dense population. The complexity of economic and political activities both in the past and at present has reinforced the urban hierarchy of distribution of cities in China. Rapid industrialization since liberation in 1949 has changed China's agriculture-dominated economy. Industry accounts for more than two-thirds of the combined gross value of industrial and agricultural output in China. Differences in industrial development exist both among regions and cities of different sizes. Past government policies of industrial development favored coastal areas and large cities. Large cities (defined as having 500,000 and more population) account for more than 75 percent of the gross value of industrial output in China. A positive correlation is found between city size and per capita value of output of heavy and light industries. While it is common that cities in industrialized countries tend to specialize so as to enhance scale economies in one productive activity, the industrial structure in China does not exhibit a strong level of specialization. In fact, there exists a high level of industrial diversification in China. The relatively undeveloped transportation system and the price and tax policies of the government are major factors contributing to China's high level of industrial diversification. City size is positively correlated with education as measured by college students per 10,000 population. City size is also positively correlated with average income of urban employees. The correlation is particularly strong in the coastal region. Finally, it is found that size is negatively correlated with number of hospital beds per 10,000 population, reflecting the impact of the primary health policy of the government. Overall, the findings of this study support the traditional modernization theory that urban areas--particularly large urban areas--have a beneficial effect on national economic development.
