Study on the Equalization and Differentiation Configuration of County Infrastructure — Taking the Urban-Rural Integration Planning in Xunyi County as an Example

Abstract

For a long time, the Chinese development direction of emphasizing urban area but despising rural area results in the great differences in configuration standard of regional facilities, large gap between urban and rural facilities and low level of urbanization, and limits the materialization of equalization between urban and rural public facilities, which is especially obvious in the western region of China. Western cities and countryside are always of poor ecological environment, small scale of towns, decentralized layout, comparatively backward economy and limited construction capital, therefore, posing great challenge in the face of urban-rural integration, in particular the infrastructure. Directed towards this, this paper takes the practice of urban-rural integration planning in Xunyi County as an example, and brings forth new train of thought for advancing the implementation of infrastructure equalization in counties.
