This paper investigates the effect and transmission mechanism of air pollution on urbanization based on data from China's 107 cities during 2005-2018.In order to identify the impact of air pollution on China's urban-ization,we utilized night light data to represent the level of urbanization and used temperature inversion as an instrumental variable to mitigate endogeneity within the two-stage least squares framework.The results suggest that air pollution significantly slowed China's urbanization process with economic growth acting as the transmission mechanism.The heterogeneity analyses revealed that air pollution had a greater negative im-pact on urbanization in northern regions than that in southern regions,and a greater negative impact in resource-oriented cities than that in non-resource-based cities.We also find that air pollution was to the detri-ment of urbanization in larger cities,which have more than 3 million residents,while it did not have a signifi-cant impact on Type II large cities,which have fewer than 3 million residents.
