Features: This book takes Changxing County, Zhejiang Province, as a case study, spanning over 300,000 words and divided into ten chapters, covering nearly all aspects of coordinated urban-rural development. It is rich in charts, detailed data, and has a unique writing style, making it quite engaging to read. The book not only effectively summarizes Changxing County's practical experience but also portrays the specific actions of local governments in coordinating urban-rural development. Moreover, it offers many original reflections and theoretical analyses on coordinated urban-rural development and its further advancement. China is an incremental transforming country, and this transformation involves all aspects, most of which lack existing precedents in the world, requiring the Chinese people to practice, explore, and innovate on their own. Coordinated urban-rural development is one such aspect. The experience of China's transformation primarily comes from grassroots practices, explorations, and innovations, with coordinated urban-rural development being one of them. The experience of China's transformation largely stems from grassroots practices, as well as the summary and enhancement of these practices. Based on this, the authors sincerely hope that this book, originating from a county—rooted in grassroots realities, vivid in style, distinctive in its approach, and a blend of theory and practice—can provide inspiration and reference for those working on or contemplating coordinated urban-rural development.
