根据研究视角的不同，可以将城市化经济成本分为宏观城市化经济成本和微观城市化经济成本。建立定量模型计算得出2006～2010年间成都市宏观城市化经济成本为543.91亿元，2010年成都市微观城市化经济成本为14.32万元。通过对城市化经济成本构成和不同主体承受能力研究发现，新进入城市居民个人是承担城市化经济成本的主体，而住房成本是城市化经济成本的主要组成部分，推动农业转移人口市民化的关键在于减轻住房成本。
According to different research perspective，costs of urbanization can be divided into macro-costs of urbanization and micro-costs of urbanization.By establishing a quantitative model for calculation，It is found that between 2006 and 2010，Chengdu’s macro-costs of urbanization was 54.4 billion yuan RMB，and Chengdu’s micro-costs of urbanization was 14.3 thousand yuan RMB in 2010. The analyses of the structure of the economic costs of urbanization and burden ability of different subjects show that new urban resident themselves have borne the major burden of the economic costs of urbanization，among which the cost of housing ranks the most. The key to promoting rural workers to become urban residents is to reduce their housing costs.
