Abstract: To explore the coordination between urbanization quality and resource utilization and its influencing factors from the perspective of inclusiveness is conducive to expanding the connotation of urbanization quality, which could provide guidance for improving the quality of urbanization. By integrating the concept of inclusiveness into the connotation of urbanization quality and resource utilization, we analyzed the spatial pattern of the coordination of urbanization quality and resource utilization in 288 cities above prefecture level in China with the GIS technology and coordination degree model, with the potential causes being discussed. The results showed that the inclusive level of China’s urbanization development was low, which was characterized by unequal development opportunities, scattered distribution of high-level cities and large-scale centralized distribution of low-level cities. The overall utilization of resources was at the middle level. The agglomeration chara-cteristics of high- and low-level cities were significant and bounded by Hu Huanyong line. The average coordination degree of urbanization quality and resource utilization was 0.59, which belonged to the medium level, with the grade-difference and the east-west gradient pattern. Urban distribution with high coordination level fitted southeast coastal urban agglomerations well. The distribution of cities above the middle level was in good agreement with that of the “T” type axial belt in China formed by the southeastern coast of China and the Yangtze River economic belt. The lower level cities were concentrated in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, Jiangnan hills, north-west part of the Northeast and Yungui Plateau. The level of urban administration and the level of economic development were positively related to the coordination between urbanization quality and resource utilization. There was a significant correlation between the urban scale and the level of coordination in the city with more than 3 million population.
