Urbanization has emerged as a significant driver of environmental degradation and social inequality. The research In order to determine the subjective, objective, and understanding weights of the evaluation indexes appropriately, the urbanization and environmental pollution indexes were constructed using the available evidence. The analytic hierarchy method, entropy process, and the principle of less information entropy were adopted. BTHUA was accepted as an example to investigate the effects of urbanization elements and subsystems on environmental pollution from 2000 to 2015 using a geographically and temporarily weighted regression model. The following findings were reached by this investigation..( 1) The urbanization index improved rapidly from 0.157 in 2000 to 0.438 by 2015. National policies have relevant impactation on environmental protection in agglomeration. (2) The service industry level, Internet application, fiscal revenue, residents income, education level were issues that minimize environmental pollution. (3) Urbanization increased the environmental quality in mountainous areas but escalated the degree of local environmental pollution in plains and coastal areas. The frequency of Urbanization of urban agglomerations is unique, with the frequency of Urbanization lagging behind in mountainous areas, whereas it was excessive in plains and coastal areas.This study investigates the effects of Urbanization on environmental Sustainability and Social Inequality, with a focus on developing countries
