Urban-rural integration is a new stage of modernization and urbanization in China. Urban-rural integration is to integrate industry and agriculture, cities and villages, urban residents and rural villagers as a whole, make overall planning and comprehensive research, and promote the integration of urban-rural planning and construction, industrial development, market information, policy measures, ecological environmental protection and social development through system reform and policy adjustment.
Change the long-standing dual economic structure between urban and rural areas, realize the equality of urban and rural policies, complementary industrial development and consistent national treatment, so that farmers can enjoy the same civilization and welfare as urban residents, and make the whole urban and rural economy and society develop comprehensively, harmoniously and sustainably.
Urban-rural integration is a process that the development of productive forces promotes the transformation of urban and rural residents' mode of production, lifestyle and living style, and makes urban and rural population, technology, capital and resources integrate with each other as resources, markets and services, and gradually realizes the coordinated development of economy, society, culture, ecology, space and policies (systems) between urban and rural areas.
Problems faced:
Equalization of basic rights and interests of urban and rural residents is the premise of realizing the development of urban-rural integration. At present, the inequality of rights and interests of urban and rural residents is concentrated in two aspects: First, the inequality of property rights. The second is the inequality in the household registration system. The gap between urban and rural public services is an important embodiment of the gap between urban and rural areas. Including pension, education, medical care, transportation, water supply, power supply, environment and so on. The countryside obviously lags behind the cities.
The reason is that for a long time, the investment in public services has been concentrated in cities, and cities are becoming more and more beautiful, even in the central and western regions. The key to realize the rationalization of urban-rural factor allocation is to establish the factor market of urban-rural integration and give play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation. It is necessary to eliminate man-made obstacles and promote the two-way free flow of various production factors between urban and rural areas. Land is an important factor of production, and the market should also play a decisive role in land allocation.
