Currently，China’s theoretical research on urban transition lags behind its practice，especially there is short of the researches on urban transition measurement. The evaluation on urban economic transition should be human-based，reflect harmonious development among economy，society and ecological environment，not only emphasize inner capacity measurement but also highlight outside performance measurement. Presently，China’s urban economic transition performance evaluation should combine the objective of overall construction of all-round well-off society. In the future，China’s urban economic transition measurement should，theoretically， change from sustainable development outlook to scientific development outlook，in objective，change from resource-type cities to general cities，in development goal，change from construction of all-round well-off society to the perfection of the construction of all-round well-off society，in transition content，change from process capacity to transition performance，meanwhile，should enhance the analysis of evaluation results and improve analysis methods.
