Abstract: The dynamic mechanism of urbanization is a key issue in the research of urbanization. Based on the analysis of present situation and urbanization characteristics of Xinjiang, centered on its development phrases and process, this paper studies urban development process in Xinjiang during 1978~2000 through gray correlation and comparison analysis. The aim of the study is to approach the characteristics and dynamic mechanisms of urbanization and to provide bases for its future development. Research found that the gray correlations between urbanization and its influential factors not only have difference among different parameters, but also show that the gray correlation during 1978~1989 is apparently higher than that in 1990~2000, and some have negative changes. It is concluded that urbanization in Xinjiang in recent 20 years has developed in stable way and its urbanization system conditions (the second ary systems of countries, cities as well as social, economy and culture) has improved to a degree, the general weak social and economic foundations are rooted reasons of lagged urbanization of Xinjiang, and up-grade and conformation of industrial structure are still future major dynamics of its urban development.

Key words: urbanization, dynamic mechanism process, Xinjiang
