China Accelerates New Urbanization Drive to Close Rural-Urban Gap
China is actively promoting high-quality development to transform into a modern socialist country. Recent reforms, including the removal of household registration restrictions in provinces like Zhejiang and Jiangsu, aim to bridge the urban-rural gap and boost shared prosperity.
In response to the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, China is rolling out plans for integrated urban-rural development. The country targets an urbanization rate of 70% within five years to drive economic and social progress.
With urbanization rates steadily rising, China’s focus is on narrowing income disparities and providing equal access to public services for rural migrants. By reforming the household registration system and addressing key migrant worker issues, China is paving the way for sustainable urbanization growth.
As the world’s largest urbanization process unfolds, China’s commitment to balanced development and enhanced living standards underscores its dedication to fostering a more inclusive and prosperous society.
