Developing the rural areas with the aid of the urban areas, which was summarized through the long practice in China, is a new mode of promoting the coordinated development of urban-rural areas. The evaluation of the impact of this mode on promoting the coordinated development of urban-rural areas has great significance for reference for the urbanization development in other countries around the world. This paper takes Chenggong New District in Yunnan, China as an example, calculates the coordination degree of its urban and rural development in 1999, 2004 and 2009 with the use of urban and rural development coordination degree model, then makes clustering analysis of the urban and rural development coordination degree in various districts in Chenggong New District in 2009 with the use of Ward’s method. Results indicate that a) the urban and rural development coordination degree of Chenggong New District is 0.359 in 1999, 0.545 in 2004, and 0.504 in 2009. The increase in the coordination degree year by year shows the mode of developing the rural areas with the aid of the urban areas has obvious effects on the coordinated development of urban-rural areas; b)the mode of developing the rural areas with the aid of the urban areas has obvious coordination impact on the aspects of infrastructure construction and basic livelihood guarantee, but has not enough coordination impact on the aspects of environmental governance, medical treatment and education; c) when the mode of developing the rural areas with the aid of the urban areas is applied, the coordinated development of industries and especially the agricultural industrialization development should be paid attention to.
