Commonalities and Differences Between Rural Revitalization in China and the West:Exploration of a Pragmatic Path for Rural Revitalization
Faced with the inherent demand of China's urbanization development process,from quantity to quality,rural revitalization has become the key to achieving urban-rural integration in the new era.While there are commonalities between China's rural revitalization and the West,there are also differences in social systems and specific contexts.It is necessary to conduct an in-depth comparative analysis in order to adapt Western experience into China's local practices.Firstly,based on the analysis of the evolution of rural revitalization in both China and the West,this paper elaborates on the historical commonalities,including resolving social conflicts caused by the large urban-rural gap,generating active demand for rural values and environment,and achieving the goal of urban-rural equivalence.Secondly,this paper believes that the main differences between China's rural revitalization and the West lie in the special scenarios shaped by unstable urbanization,multi-pronged strategic goals,restrictions on urban-rural mobility,complex and strict regulations,and reforms driven by emerging technologies and economies.Finally,this paper proposes five strategic suggestions for the design of rural revitalization paths based on the current problems in rural revitalization practice and China's national conditions,including allocation of spatial resources,urban-rural mobility systems,regulation of rural space,coordinated industrial development,and rural governance modernization.
