China is enthusiastically pushing forward the urbanization that will effectively expand  the development demand and domestic market. Thus, a wide range of urban development projects are underway across the country on the basis of the cooperation with foreign countries. McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) forecasts that the urban population in China will increase by 17 million every year until 2030 and the urban population increased will reach a total of 300 million until then. To prepare the living space for them and the infrastructure for the production/distribution/consumption of goods and services, the development demand and domestic market are expected to expand, accordingly. Currently each province in China pushes forward a wide range of urban development projects that include building infrastructure, housing construction, and building infrastructure in rural areas and small and medium sized cities, positively utilizing foreign capital, technology and ideas.
 However, Korea, despite its rich experience in urban development and overseas’ construction projects, does not effectively preoccupy the rapidly growing urban development demand in China. Korea’s inroad into the urban development in China will provide the new opportunities of market entry to the companies directly related to urban development such as construction, IT and environment related companies and other indirectly related companies such as the companies related to distribution, health care and culture. Thus, it is worthwhile to utilize Korean companies’ participation in the urban development projects in China, which will provide a wide range of opportunities for Korean companies in various fields, as the strategies for breaking into the domestic markets in China.
This study seeks after the measures to effectively support Korean companies’ entering the Chinese market through the case study of the foreign companies with the presence in China at the level of basic research on the urban development in China which have been seldom dealt with in the previous studies. Furthermore, the study has categorized the types of inroad into G-G based inroad and private companies’ inroad.
The research results demonstrate that there is a need for the government to make long term efforts to develop cooperative models for the urban development in China and to build G-G based cooperative governance, and to diversify the supports for the companies with the presences in China. Particularly, creating the opportunities for personal exchange, establishing dedicated bodies that support the inroad, aggressive PR support, and building and providing integrated DB by considering the nature of the urban development for which human network is essential are needed. Furthermore the discussions to improve the institutional barriers and inequality issues during Korea-China FTA negotiation are needed.
