Study On The Harmonious Development Between Urbanization And Construction Of Socialist New Countryside

Since the 16th Congress of the Communist Party, the central leading body of the Party has given its top priority to the pivotal issues of the countryside, agriculture and the farmers, to which a series of policies and measures have been proposed and adopted. However, the situation of the countryside, agriculture and the farmers is very challenging in that there still remain many issues to be tackled and disharmonious relationships to be restored. Since the construction of the harmonious and affluent society is to a great extent dependent on the integrated development of the countryside, the construction of socialist new countryside with life and vigor has naturally become the concern of the Party, the nation and the multitude. In this paper, it is proposed that the economic development of China is the result of urban-rural interaction. On the basis of elaborate analysis of the current situation of the countryside and urbanization in our country, this thesis has illustrated the impact of urbanization on the construction of socialist new countryside, and has advanced the idea of harmonization between the construction of new countryside and urbanization and their coordinated development, and consequently the ultimate mutual prosperity of urban-rural integration. The main contents of the thesis and its layout are as follows:Chapter 1 mainly introduces the purpose and significance of this research issue, the overview of researches on the theory of urban-rural integration, and interpretations of urbanization and urban-rural integration.Chapter 2 concerns itself with the advancing of the project of the construction of socialist new countryside. In the light of the analysis of institutional sources for the urban-rural separation and the current situation of countryside construction, it illustrates the current significance of the construction of socialist new countryside.Chapter 3, according to the analysis of the current situation and especially from the perspective of the impact of urbanization on the construction of new countryside, states the choices for the construction of new countryside, demonstrating that urbanization is the unique way to the construction of socialist new countryside.Chapter 4 elaborates on two main points, that is, theoretically, there have been conditions for the development of urban-rural integration. And practically, there have been some achievements and ample experiences about urban-rural integration strategy. In the light of the above explications, and on the basis of such case studies as"the new model for the South of Jiangsu"and"Gold and Silver Project for Xiamen", this chapter illustrates that urban-rural integration is the ultimate goal of the construction of socialist new countryside.Chapter 5 attempts to probe into the measures and strategies for urban-rural integration, concentrating on principles and institutional innovations and immanent applicable measures to be adopted in relation to the current situation of our country.The conclusion: based on the above comprehensive analysis, illustration and statements, it is proposed that our government should prepare and adopt a series of corresponding scientific, effective and applicable polices and measures to guarantee urban-rural promotion and rural-urban facilitation, urban-rural integration and the ultimate mutual urban-rural prosperity.
