Abstract:
The integrated development of urban and rural areas is the essence of promoting the realization of Chinese Modernization. In the context of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, it has been endowed with higher strategic significance and strategic mission. The institutional environment with Chinese characteristics determines that the government has strong allocation capabilities for important resources and factors such as space. Promoting the coordinated development of urban and rural space and the two-way flow of urban and rural factors through spatial governance and policy supply are of great practical significance for achieving the goal of urban-rural integration. Based on a phased summary of China’s urban and rural social and spatial development process, this paper analyzes the current difficulties and key challenges in spatial governance in China’s promotion of urban-rural integrated development from the aspects of supply, management and control, planning and policy mechanisms of spatial elements. At the same time, it summarizes international relevant experiences in urban-rural integrated development and reflection based on local practice. Furthermore, we try to put forward strategic suggestions from respecting the laws of urban and rural development, optimizing the supply and value allocation of land elements, implementing flexible space control, and stimulating diverse governance forces.
