Since the founding of the People's Republic of China,the development of small towns in New Chi-na has achieved remarkable achievements after going through three development stages.However,there are also shortcomings such as insufficient economic development momentum,lagging urban management thinking,and lack of talents.The historical experience of small town development is of great historical significance for the future ur-banization development in China.For the future development of small towns,it is necessary to strengthen the trans-formation of development concepts and models,attract more talents,cultivate new professional farmers mainly com-posed of family farm owners as the main body of town development and governance,innovate the way of grassroots social governance,and strengthen the construction of social governance communities in small towns.
