Abstract: Through the construction of 15 indicators system of land urbanization and population urbanization, the coordination between land urbanization and population urbanization in Wuhan city from 2008 to 2017 was analyzed by using the entropy method, coordination index and coupling coordination degree model. The results showed that the development of land urbanization and population urbanization in Wuhan city could be roughly divided into three stages: The first stage was that the index level of both cities was low from 2008 to 2010; The second stage was that the index level of both cities was at a medium level from 2011 to 2014; And the third stage was that the index level of both cities was at a high level from 2015 to 2017, and the coupling degree between them changes from extreme imbalance to high-quality coordination. The process of land urbanization and population urbanization was out of balance in some aspects, but with the adjustment, it tended to coordinate development gradually. On this basis, the reasons for the imbalance between land urbanization and population urbanization in Wuhan city were analyzed. It was pointed out that the relationship between land urbanization and population urbanization was mainly affected by the interaction of external system and internal basis of urban development. Based on this, the policy suggestions for coordinating the synchronous development of land urbanization and population urbanization were put forward.

Key words: population urbanization, land urbanization, coupling degree, coordinated development
