The Typification of Counties:Regional Development and Area Positioning
In China's traditional urban-rural connection system,counties have always played an important fundamental and connecting role in governance and development.Since modern times,with the promotion of modernization,urban and rural development has formed a development model centered on large-scale cities,and the status of counties has also begun to change.Especially since the late 20th century,under the perspective of developmentalism,counties have become a single economic growth unit and their connecting function in the field of urban-rural integration has declined.With the continuous promotion of the new development concept and the new development pattern,the counties in the process of rapid urbanization began to play the key role of urban-rural integration.In reality,counties,as connecting the urban and rural areas,also have different types,playing diversified functions of implementing national strategies,connecting cities,radiating rural society,flourishing regional economy and providing public services.The Opinions on Promoting the Urbanization Construction with County as an important Carrier has proposed the understanding perspective of typification of counties.Following this path,when the choice of typified county development is determined according to the concept of regional development,we can plan the differentiated development of counties and different urban-rural integration paths,so as to truly accelerate and implement the process of urban-rural integration.
