Abstract Today, China is carrying forward its urbanization at a high speed, where cities have been a key factor for pushing ahead sustainable development.In this paper, based on the theory of “the coordinated development of the three pillars”, Fiveyear annual average dynamic growth of urban population, rate of complying limiting concentration of PM2.5 and fiveyear annual average dynamic growth of city GDP were adopted to represent urban social progress, environmental protection and economic development respectively.A technical scheme for urban classified evaluation with “8 types and 4 levels” was established, where the “4 levels” denoted strong, medium, weak and poor sustainability of urban development.The scheme contained an empirical evaluation research on the sustainable development situation of Chinese cities above prefectural level, for which a directory of city development situation for 2013 and 2014 was obtained.According to the result, 90% of cities investigated in these two years were in the situation of weak sustainable development, and severe environmental pollution is a critical barrier universally hindering the development of Chinese cities.Cities in Northeast China are confronted with enormous challenges in sustainable development because of the apparent loss of urban population and the lessmotivated wealth growth.
