The Strategy of Chinese Rural-Urban Coordinated Development to 2020 (Part 1)

The Strategy of Chinese Rural-Urban Coordinated Development to 2020 focuses on the coordinated development and integration of rural and urban areas in China as it transits from a traditional agrarian economy to a modern industrialized state. Using theoretical and empirical studies, it suggests a theoretical framework and conducts quantitative analyses to examine the problems of the rural economy, population migration, land circulation and social security, and account for the reasons for these problems from historical, realistic, theoretical and practical perspectives. It also proposes strategic objectives and evaluates the measures for rural-urban coordinated development up to 2020. The first half of the book offers: 1. A comprehensive index evaluation of the current state of China's rural-urban coordinated development; 2. A strategic plan for achieving rural-urban coordinated development by 2020; 3. Detailed analysis of the rural-urban divide from the perspectives of income levels, institutional provisions, and industrial structures.
