Abstract For public services in the process of urbanization, using the provincial panel data from 2007 to 2012, the paper empirically studies whether the urbanization is depriving residents to increase the demand for local public goods, as well as residents’ preference for public goods in the process of urbanization by constructing simultaneous equations model. The results show that: there are positive correlations between urbanization and six types of public goods, and in addition to environmental protection demand equation, impact coefficients of the other public goods demand equation are very significant; In the process of urbanization, the residents focus more on medical and health care demand, while the preference for environmental protection demand is small. The conclusion of this article provides certain policy implications for the local government to meet the residents' demands for public services at different levels and effectively in the process of urbanization.
