China will cancel migrant urbanisation restrictions in cities of less than 3 million people and comprehensively relax them in cities of between 3 million to 5 million, according to a State Council plan. For cities above 5 million, authorities will improve the settlement system and encourage the cancellation of quota restrictions, the plan said. Niu Fengrui, director of the Small and Medium-sized Cities Research Institute, said last year China achieved an urbanisation rate of 66% versus an urban registered population of 48%, with the difference due to migrants unable to obtain residency.
