Abstract Urbanization and economic growth interacts. The relationship between them shows different modes and characteristics at different phases and regions. The Grey relation model and coupling harmony model are applied to evaluate the harmony between urbanization and economic growth in this paper. Results show that the harmony between Chinese urbanization and economic growth is at a high level, but it also obviously fluctuates. The harmony in eastern provinces is better than in middle and western provinces. In order to enhance the harmony between urbanization and economic growth, sustainable economic growth should be maintained and urban growth mode should be transformed.
