Mechanisms and Pathways for Driving County-level Wealth Creation in the Context of Urban-rural Integration
The holistic approach to rural-urban integration inherently aspires to the value objective of achieving common prosperity.County-level industries aimed at enriching the populace serve as a vital conduit for advancing common prosperity through the fusion of rural and urban domains.Anchored in the counties,these industries prioritize the prosperity of the people,build comparative advantages leveraging the local factor endowment structure,and facilitate the allocation of production factors between urban and rural areas through effective organizational mechanisms.They drive multi-sector innovation and development by integrating industries across traditional boundaries.Key drivers include institutional provision and policy innovation,the innovative allocation of urban and rural resources,empowerment through modern technological innovation,and market demand.In China,the overall standard and sophistication of these county-level industries focused on enriching the people remain to be elevated,with regional disparities in development evident.Challenges persist in terms of development frameworks,industrial technological innovation capabilities,support for production factors,and the strength and scope of their driving impact.It is imperative to integrate the cultivation of these industries into the broader process of China's industrial transformation and upgrading,as well as the comprehensive arc of county economic development.This necessitates strategic planning and progression,with a focus on strengthening institutional support,harnessing technological empowerment,enhancing platforms and carriers,reinforcing benefit linkages,and fostering distinctive county-level industries for enriching the people that are grounded in local realities.
