Research on the Development Path of Urban and Rural Integration in Chongqing under the Background of Expanding Domestic Demand

Abstract

Under the background of expanding domestic demand, this study explores the multiple paths of urban and rural development in Chongqing. Through a systematic analysis of the current situation of urban and rural development in Chongqing, it reveals the urban-rural gap and institutional barriers in economic development, social undertakings, infrastructure and other fields. It is found that the separate urban-rural structure in Chongqing is mainly reflected in the lagging reform of the household registration system, the low efficiency of land resource allocation, the imperfect industrial linkage mechanism and the asymmetric flow of factors. On this basis, drawing on the experience of Chengdu Urban Rural Integration Pilot Zone and the practice of urban and rural integration in developed countries such as the United States and Japan, Chongqing should focus on improving urban and rural spatial planning, deepening land system reform, strengthening infrastructure construction, promoting the reform of the registered residence system, and promoting technological innovation and industrial upgrading. Through systematic institutional innovation and policy coordination, Chongqing can effectively unleash the potential of rural consumption, expand domestic demand market space, gradually break the urban-rural gap, and provide a replicable "Chongqing Plan" for high-quality development and common prosperity in the western region.
