It's necessary to accelerate urbanization for the advance of economy and society in China

but the urban soil qualities grow worse rapidly with the advance of urbanization

so urban soil has been a focus in the research on urbanization's problems and desiderates the attention from the public

especially the urban managers and soil scientists in China. In the progress of urbanization

soil structure are often spoiled

arrangement of horizons is disturbed

chemical properties vary greatly

and soil biodiversity and fertility drop because of massive constructional engineering

vast emission of municipal wastes and heavy traffic etc. To lighten or eliminate the negative effects of urban activities on soil ecosystem

countermeasures have been put forward in the paper

such as researching quantificationally the effect of urbanization on urban soil environment along an urban rural ecological transect in sample cities

constructing the database of urban soil's basic information

classifying and mapping urban soil

strengthening the research about technologies of soil environmental remediation and treatment of municipal wastes

rational planning and constructing urban green networks. Moreover

the principal measure to realize the sustainable use of urban soil is to intensify the propaganda of the knowledge about soil for active public participation to protect urban soil

especially make the urban managers realize it necessary to use the research results of urban soil in the building activities and planning.
