The connotation of new quality productive forces and research priorities for driving urban-rural integrated development from the geographical perspective
New quality productive forces are advanced productivity that is freed from traditional economic growth mode and productivity development paths,features high-tech,high efficiency and high quality driven by technological innovation in the new era.From the geographical perspective,developing new quality productive forces is the ability to coordinate new human-earth relationships in the Anthropocene,where human activities dominate,promote the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature,transform green waters and mountains into gold and silver mines,drive high-quality development and layout,and comprehensively implement the construction of a beautiful China.Geography focuses on studying the emergence and development process,formation and evolution characteristics,spatial organization patterns,and regional differentiation laws of new quality productive forces driven by innovation,so as to promote the human-earth system to enter the ecological civilization stage of highly coupled and harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.Compared with traditional industries,the evolution of new quality productive forces has experienced a fluctuating process of evolution from low-quality productivity to medium-quality,medium-high-quality,and then to high-quality productivity,accompanying the emergence of continuous technological revolutions and industrial revolutions.They exhibit basic characteristics such as high coupling,deep integration,super correlation,rapid iteration,and spatial differentiation.The pivotal directions propelled by the drive of new quality productive forces for geographical research encompass the following:re-coordinating human-earth relationships to foster novel harmonious coexistence conducive to the realization of a beautiful China;restructuring industrial systems to align with the new quality productive forces,facilitating profound industrial transformation;reallocating geographical elements to establish a novel mechanism that harmonizes natural,humanistic,and data-driven components;reshaping spatial pattern to engender a fresh spatial paradigm wherein new quality productive forces and traditional industries are integrated deeply;rebuilding ecological environment to leverage them as green engines of productivity,thus enhancing the intrinsic value of ecological capital;revitalizing geographical science through the refinement and updating of theories and methods,thereby constructing a modem disciplinary landscape of geography.
