After thirty years of Reform and Opening up, the administrative divisions have been frequently adjusted in China, especially in the eastern area, which has played a significant role in the development of regional economy, society, politics and culture, as well as the process of urbanization which shows an inevitable trend. The specific types of the adjustment include county-to-city transformation, prefecture-to-city transformation and prefecture-to-municipality merging, county-(city)-district transformation, district-readjustment in city, township-to-town transformation and township-to-town merging, and town-to-street transformation and village-to -residential area transformation. The essay is aimed to review and summarize of the process, types and features of the readjustment of the administrative divisions in the 30-year process of the urbanization, and to sum up and sort out the relevant research on urbanization by the domestic scholars. While the readjustment of the administrative divisions have adapted to and promoted the development of urbanization, it has also brought some problems. According to the current process of urbanization, the following problems should be tackled. They include the reform of city system, the coupling mechanism between the adjustment of the administrative division and urban planning, the readjustment of the administrative division & rural urbanization, and the readjustment of the administrative division and the development of urban agglomeration. The future research on the readjustment of the administrative divisions will focus on straightening out the urban management system after transforming county (city) into urban district, readjusting the area of the urban districts, readjusting the administrative divisions of urban agglomeration and its management system, reforming the urban system.
