Abstract: This thesis attempts to explore a new framework of the new urbanization and agricultural modernization coordinated development from the perspective of urban production integration, mutual promotion between industry and agriculture, urban and rural common prosperity. We select 2005—2014 years of statistical data and evaluate the coordination level of four big traditional agricultural areas in Jianghan Plain in Hubei province, i.e., Jingzhou, Jingmen, Xiangfan and Xiaogan. It shows that the coordination of new urbanization and agricultural modernization of traditional agricultural areas in Jianghan Plain is in the initial stage of slow growth and the overall coordination degree is low. Based on the evaluation results and the field survey, we find that the coordinated development of new urbanization and agricultural modernization in traditional rural areas should start from the integration of production and city, mutual promotion between industry and agriculture, and urban and rural common prosperity. We should carry out multidimensional diffusion to the second and third industries based on agriculture, and select appropriately coordinated development path of new urbanization and agricultural modernization according to the traditional agricultural resources and industrial base so as to realize local and nearby urbanization by transforming population engaged in agriculture into those engaged in non-agricultural industries.

Key words: new-type of urbanization, agricultural modernization, traditional agricultural areas, coupling coordination model, Jianghan Plain
