The new type of urbanization should play the card of the county seat

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-01

At present, China's urban and rural landscape has changed significantly, and the urbanization rate of permanent residents has exceeded 65%, but the quality of urbanization is still not very high, and counties still occupy an important position in China's economic and social development. How to better promote the construction of new urbanization with county towns as an important carrier, so as to further promote urban-rural integration and regional coordinated development, is a problem worthy of analysis.

For a long time, labor, land, capital and other factors of production have gradually concentrated in the central city, which has caused "big city diseases" such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, and housing difficulties while forming an economic scale effect, giving full play to the industrial agglomeration effect, and improving the efficiency of public services. At the same time, the one-way flow of factors of production from rural to urban areas and from small and medium-sized towns to large cities has also widened the gap between urban and rural areas. As an important part of the urban system, the county seat is an important transition zone between urban and rural areas, and also an important connection point to promote the organic combination of new urbanization and comprehensive rural revitalization, which is of great significance for promoting the construction of new urbanization and building a new type of urban-rural relationship between industry and agriculture.

To promote the new urbanization with the county as the carrier, it is intended to take many factors related to the people's needs for a better life, such as employment quality, entrepreneurial opportunities, living environment, culture and education, and medical security, as the core considerations and goals and tasks of the new urbanization construction. This requires that the law of urban evolution and the law of county development should be followed, and the two-way flow of various elements between urban and rural areas should be truly realized by promoting the agglomeration of capital, technology, talent and other elements to the county.

However, in this process, there are still many bottlenecks that need to be solved, such as the low quality of the business environment, the inaccurate development positioning, limited financial resources, weak industrial foundation, and imperfect infrastructure. The gap is the potential. In the future, it is necessary to take multiple measures at the same time, and strive to further make up for the shortcomings and weaknesses of the county by 2025, and a number of counties with good location advantages and industrial foundations, strong resource and environmental carrying capacity, and good economic conditions for agglomeration of population have achieved remarkable results, the allocation of public resources and the scale of the permanent population are basically matched, the development and growth of characteristic and advantageous industries, the comprehensive carrying capacity has been significantly enhanced, the scale of farmers to work and settle down in the county has been expanding, and the quality of life of county residents has been significantly improved. After another stage of efforts, the country has basically built a modern county with its own characteristics, full of vitality, livable and suitable for business, so that the development gap between it and neighboring large and medium-sized cities has been significantly narrowed, and the role of promoting the improvement of the urban system and supporting the integrated development of urban and rural areas has been further demonstrated.

On the one hand, it is necessary to scientifically grasp the functional positioning and strengthen the construction of county-level governance capacity. Improve the level of macroeconomic regulation and scientific management, and continuously optimize the business environment through the reform of "delegating power, delegating power, delegating power, and improving services". Based on investigation and research, accurately grasp the advantages and characteristics of the county, and actively cultivate and develop characteristic and advantageous industries through scientific planningMake good use of national support policies, continuously improve the quality of county infrastructure and public services by integrating resources inside and outside the county, and promote the digitization of hospitals, libraries, schools and other resources, so that the digital economy will become a major highlight of the county's construction. Effectively play the role of the county town in connecting cities and serving the countryside, strive to improve the ability of the county to radiate and drive the countryside, strengthen the cooperation and connection with the development of nearby cities, and further consolidate the various basic supports for the operation of the county.

On the other hand, cultivate and develop characteristic and advantageous industries, and enhance the county's industrial support capacity. Focus on the development of industries with obvious comparative advantages, strong agricultural and rural capabilities, and large employment capacity, coordinate the cultivation of local industries and undertake external industrial transfers, and promote industrial transformation and upgrading. Through the innovation of development models such as the "chain length system" of the industrial chain, we will give full play to the role of chambers of commerce, industry associations and county-level leading enterprisesRelying on various development zones, industrial agglomeration areas, migrant workers returning to their hometowns and other platforms, we will support eligible counties to build demonstration parks for industrial transformation and upgrading, provide strong support for capital to go to the countryside, rural households to start businesses, and migrant workers to return to their hometowns to start businesses, and guide the concentrated development of county-level industriesCarry out large-scale vocational skills training for migrant workers, especially those in difficulty, to improve their skills and stable employability.
