Inadequate urbanization slows down the process of industrilization
I guess in the context, the real meaning here is that, due to the insufficiency in urbanization, the process of industrilization of the society is slowed down.

Normally urbanization and industrialization go in tandem, if urbanization can't go well, hard for industrialization to succeed. So what the source language says is that urbanization is not going well, which hinders industrialization, not the urbanization in its own right hinders industrialization.
