Innovative Research on the Renovation and Promotion of the Merged Towns in Suzhou
Since the 21st century,a large number of towns and townships have been merged in Suzhou area,aiming to improve the efficiency of regional resource allocation and streamline the financial burden of the government by adjusting the spatial layout system of small towns.However,the withdrawal of towns and townships also leads to the development difficulties of industrial depression,poor living environment,and the decline of their own service ability.The Suzhou government took the initiative to regulate and carry out the renovation and upgrading work of the merged towns from 2016,and gave full play to the top-level design mechanism of planning and leadership.From 2016 to 2018,a total of 1,415 projects were implemented in Suzhou,focusing on the areas of people's livelihood.Through the coordination and integration of planning,the policy packages and investment packages of renovation projects are accurately and economically put into the space field.Local governments have derived a number of development experience with local township characteristics in the process of renovation and promotion work.
