城乡关系与地方治理改革

关于城乡关系的理论流派可分为自然发展论、城市偏向论、乡村偏向论、城乡统筹论四种类型。目前,中国城乡关系在制度安排上具有显著的城市偏向性,导致市场分工和区位因素形成的城乡差距进一步扩大。为统筹城乡发展,地方治理亟待推进行政体制和公共政策改革,推进市县分治,实施次级城市发展战略,保障城市与县域经济拥有平等的发展权利,保障生产要素自由流动,保障乡村的基本公共服务需求。

Urban-Rural Relationship and Local Governance Reform

The theoretical schools of urban-rural relationship can be divided into four types,namely natural evolution,urban bias,ruralbias and urban-rural coordinative development respectively.At present,the institutional arrangement of China’surban-rural relationship has the feature of urban bias,which leads to further expansion of the gap between urban and rural areas.For urban-rural coordinative development and social equity,it is required to advance administrative reform and public policy innovation by implementing secondary city development strategy.The separation of county from municipality is conducive to the protection of equal autonomy between cities and counties,and to meeting the basic public service demands forrural development.
