Abstract: Recently, the concerns for the new urbanization development strategy had more and more being paid on improving the quality and efficiency of urbanization. The Eighteenth National Congress of the CPC report has put forward the policy of regulating and controlling reasonably the population size of all kinds of cities, achieving scientific layout of metropolis,medium cities,small cities,small towns and urban agglomerations,realizing high-quality efficiency of town development. Based on DEA method, this paper constructed the evaluation index system of input-output efficiency of urban development in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China and used Deap2.1 software to calculate the urban development efficiency of 87 counties of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, as well as analyzed space difference of the urban development efficiency by region and urban group perspective. The results demonstrate that Xinjiang urban scale efficiency is relatively high but pure technical efficiency is low, which result in a lower comprehensive technical efficiency than the national average. There is significant regional difference of urban development efficiency:the urban development efficiency of north and east area of Xinjiang is obvious higher than that of south Xinjiang, and the efficiency of the regional central city in the northern slope economic zone is relatively higher. The efficiency of urban group is higher than that of monomer town, and the scale efficiency and pure technical efficiency is higher in larger scale and better development degree group. Based on the results, in the future, the development of urbanization process in Xinjiang should promote the development of population, land and industrial concentration, gradually form the growth pole of regional development. What's more, strengthening the urban development efficiency of the south and north slope of Tianshan Mountains, actively supporting the economy development of the regions, constructing and developing a batch of basis-good cities which have the population and resource advantages to drive urbanization development of the south slope of Tianshan Mountains. According to the oasis distribution features and the resource environmental bearing capacity in different areas, the measures of cultivating actively and developing oasis town group of south and north Xinjiang are put forth to build the group development pattern of urban system, give full play to the advantages of scale efficiency of oasis town groups.
