Abstract: During the period of ‘11th 5-Year Plan’, rapid development of urbanization in Changshou District of Chongqing, accompanied by sharp decline in cultivated land resources and contradictions of economic development have become increasingly prominent. In order to find out ways and means on how to protect cultivated land resources in Changshou District, ensure food security and alleviate resource pressures caused due to urbanization. Regression model had been applied to make quantitative analysis of the relationship between urbanization and change in cultivated land in Changshou District while at the same time promoting sustainable economic and social development. The results showed that: rapid development of urbanization was the direct cause for the decrease in cultivated land resources in which areas with high rate of urbanization, had encountered a decline in the size and productivity of arable land. Hence, agricultural land management system and innovative measures to deal with land issues were of paramount importance.
