The new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics is both an era of “co-construction, co-governance and sharing” and an era of quality and efficiency. The construction of “characteristic towns” promoted by “new concepts, new mechanisms and new carriers” in Zhejiang Province was the beginning of the governance of towns with Chinese characteristics. As a new concept of urbanization construction, it carries the mission of beautiful rural construction and rural revitalization, and an important measure to promote the integration of urban and rural development in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The governance model, governance pattern and governance quality of characteristic towns will form a powerful demonstration effect and constitute the key to the success or failure of China’s new urbanization movement.
