China has entered the middle-to-late stage of urbanization.The scale of urban-to-urban migrants,which more refers to the urban-to-urban floating population(UUFP)across China,has significantly increased.UUFP settlement intention is a crucial issue for urbaniza-tion development.This study examines the spatial pattern and factors influencing the settle-ment intention of the UUFP in China based on data obtained through its dynamic monitoring in 2017 and the binary logistic model.The results show that most members of the UUFP were married,older,better educated,and had a higher income than the average person with ex-tensive migration experience.We correlated a high settlement intention with developed economies,coastal areas,good environmental conditions,and more amenities in cities such as Beijing,Tianjin,Shanghai,and Zhuhai.Amenities were more impactful on settlement in-tention than economic factors,from individual and regional perspectives.The UUFP more often sought equality of education for children and social integration in its choices of destina-tions.However,the distance was not a hindrance to intention to settle but played a substantial role in influencing it.We suggest optimizing the stock of the UUFP in large cities,improving public education services,and promoting remote urbanization.Likewise,industrial transfer and enhanced public resources may ease the pressure of large UUFP flows into large cities.
