The Marxist thought on urban-rural integration is the theoretical basis for constructing a new type of urban-rural relationship in China.Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC,China has entered a new era of urban-rural integration,with the income gap between urban and rural residents gradually narrowing,the con-sumption level continuously rising,the industrial structure becoming increasingly reasonable,and the process of new urbanization and agricultural modernization accelerating,laying the material foundation for Chinese-style modernization.The theoretical connotations of Chinese-style modernization have given new connotation of the time to the integrated development of urban and rural areas in China in terms of leadership,fundamental goals and characteristic missions.To promote the process of Chinese-style modernization,it is necessary to give equal consideration to urban and rural modernization,adhere to the leadership of the CPC,strengthen the top-level de-sign of urban-rural integrated development,smooth the flow of urban and rural elements,build a comprehen-sively integrated urban-rural modern industrial system,improve the institutional mechanism for urban-rural in-tegrated development,enhance the level of modernized urban-rural public services,and construct a mechanism for guaranteeing urban-rural ecological and environmental governance,as well as for promoting the cultural in-tegration of urban and rural areas.
