十八大报告提出要把生态文明建设融入到现代化建设各方面和全过程。把生态建设融入经济建设之中是建设生态文明的重中之重，城镇化是把生态建设融入经济建设之中的重要载体。社会主义生态文明建设应以马克思物质变换理论为理论基础。城镇化在本质上与马克思物质变换理论的基本原则相契合。由于现代意义上的城镇化与资本主义生产方式相伴而生，就使得城镇化不可避免地受到资本主义生产方式的影响而背离了马克思物质变换理论。通过对能耗和城市人口比重进行的二元定距变量的统计分析，证明城镇化是节约资源、保护环境、促进物质变换从而实现生态文明的载体，但必须按照资源配置优化、经济结构合理、有利于资源节约的原则走出一条中国特色的城镇化道路，建设好社会主义生态文明。

The report of 18th Party Congress has put forward the construction of ecological civilization integrated into the whole process of modernization. Ecological construction integrated into economic construction is the top priority to the construction of ecological civilization; urbanization is an important carrier of ecological construction integrated into economic construction. Marxism believes that the movement of material production and reproduction of human society, in essence, is movement process of material transformation between humans and the nature, Marx’s Material transformation theory is an important theoretical basis for the socialist ecological civilization. Urbanization meets the basic principles of Marx’s Material transformation theory, but the modern urbanization accompanied by the capitalist mode of production, makes urbanization inevitably influenced by the capitalist mode of production and departed from Marx’s Material transformation theory. The Metabolism Rift appears.Through statistical analysis of the binary range variable for energy consumption and the proportion of the urban population, it is proved that urbanization is carrier to conserve resources, protect the environment, promote material transformation in order to achieve ecological civilization, but it must be in accordance to the principle that the allocation of resources is optimized, the economic structure is reasonable, and resource conservation is conducive, to embark on a road of urbanization with Chinese characteristics, and build socialist ecological civilization.
