Ten Models of Small Town Development

Chou Baoxing, vice minister of the Ministry of Construction, believes that there are ten development models for small towns at present:

First of all, the satellite city in the suburbs.

Make full use of the advantages of surrounding large and medium-sized cities, undertake the radiation of science, technology, industry, economy and society of large and medium-sized cities, and undertake some functions and functions of central cities. Adhere to make full use of the advantages of being close to the city, the advantages of simultaneous development of the three types of industries and the advantages of promoting the development of urban construction to a higher level and management level, so as to gain the advantages of development.

Second, industry orientation.

The central town has initially formed the agglomeration scale effect, so we should stick to the road of specialization and implement one town with one product. Cluster is a new industrial organization with deep cooperation and division of labor among enterprises, which can reduce the cost of scientific and technological innovation and cut into the domestic and international economic cycle as a whole. Township enterprise cluster is a good way corresponding to new industrialization, which has been successful in many places in China.

Third, business drive.

With the help of the advantages of traditional and emerging commodity distribution centers and the advantages and management of market technology, the market will be promoted to attract radiation. With the prosperity of professional wholesale markets and regional commercial centers, we will serve industry, agriculture and urban construction. Such towns should pay great attention to cultivating traffic advantages and optimizing environmental sanitation and living environment. Only by optimizing these three aspects can we continue the road of prospering the town through commerce.

Fourth, the transportation hub type.

Taking advantage of the characteristics of convenient transportation, large traffic volume, fast information and large floating population, we should actively develop the secondary and tertiary industries, promote circulation by transportation, and revitalize the town by road, but we should also prevent the town from being built along the main road, with one main road and two rows of rolling gates. This model is very bad. In this way, it not only worsens traffic safety, but also destroys urban landscape and wastes land. So this problem needs to be solved.

Fifth, relying on industry and mining.

Cooperate with and support the production of large and medium-sized enterprises. For these small towns, it is very important to find a continuous industry and do a good job in the original industrial and mining services.

Sixth, tourism service.

Using the development of tourism resources to do a good job in tourism service and realize "living on the mountain and living on the mountain" can not only protect natural resources, but also open up new ways to develop the tertiary industry, forming a good situation for farmers to build their own towns and develop tourism, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Seventh, regional center type.

In particular, county towns should rely on the advantages of favorable political location, resource location, transportation location, science and technology location and industrial base location to form county and city center towns.

Eighth, boundary development type.

Use inter-provincial and national boundaries to develop marginal trade, strengthen the construction of transportation service infrastructure, gather all aspects of production factors, and build the basic point of urbanization in marginal areas.

Ninth, immigrants build towns.

Attention should be paid to the planning and construction quality of new towns. At present, some houses in immigrant towns are contracted by local township engineering teams, and the construction quality is far less than that built by farmers themselves. This has become a major economic and political issue, which is related to the life safety of peasant brothers and must be highly valued. In particular, some immigrants should pay more attention to the quality and safety of the project when building towns and villages as a whole, and must never do the work of tofu residue.

Tenth, a famous historical and cultural town

A famous historical and cultural town cannot be equated with a famous tourist town, because their functions overlap. Therefore, in these villages and towns, we should pay special attention to the extension of the ground vein and the context, and pay attention to the protection of these two veins. At present, the Ministry of Construction and National Cultural Heritage Administration select a number of famous historical and cultural towns and villages in China every year as an important means to protect non-renewable natural and cultural resources and cultural heritage in the process of urbanization, realize sustainable development and implement Scientific Outlook on Development. The evaluated should attach great importance to the relationship between protection and development and utilization, and those damaged by poor protection should be removed from the list.

In short, we should proceed from the reality of all localities, do not engage in one-size-fits-all and pragmatic innovation, and strive to raise township work to a new level.
