The ambassador went on to say that the new urbanization is sustainable, which means it is pursued in the light of China's environmental and resources endowment.
"With a population of more than 1.3 billion, we must be very frugal with our natural resources and very sensitive to our environment," he said. "Through cultivation of a conservation culture, we seek to ensure sustainability urbanization and its harmony with nature."
Liu further underlined that China's new urbanization is about efficiency, with high priority given to optimal and efficient use of resources to achieve economic growth and restructuring.
"This new urbanization process has become an important driver for a new type of industrialization, job generation and expansion of domestic demand, contributing to economic and social development and environmental protection," he added.
In March, China unveiled the National New-type Urbanization Plan (2014-2020) in an effort to steer the country's urbanization onto a human-centered and environmentally friendly path.
The plan provides strategic and fundamental guidance for the healthy development of urbanization across the country during the seven-year period.
