城镇化是转变发展方式、实现经济转型的重要突破口和关键环节。在我国城镇化加速发展的大背景下,小城镇已成为吸纳农村人口和劳动力的重要载体。政府主导,市场运作,探索小城镇发展新路径,成为当前各地加快推进新型城镇化、统筹城乡发展的一项基础性战略任务。 Urbanization is an important breakthrough and a key link in transforming the mode of development and achieving economic restructuring. Under the background of accelerated urbanization in our country, small towns and cities have become an important carrier for absorbing rural population and labor force. Government-led operation of the market and exploration of a new path for the development of small towns has become a basic strategic task for accelerating the development of new-type urbanization and balancing the urban and rural areas throughout the country.
