The report of the 20th CPC National Congress firstly proposed the strategic task to achieve modernization through a Chinese path, which entails the solid support of urbanization and integrated urban-rural development. The combination of urbanization and integrated urban-rural development plays an irreplaceable and important role in achieving modernization through a Chinese path. Chinese-style modernization construction implies a series of basic requirements for urbanization and integrated urban-rural development in the new era, and in response to these requirements, the following specific construction paths are proposed: continuing to unswervingly implement the new urbanization strategy and building a strategic support chain for the high-quality development of urbanization relying on the innovation; promoting high-quality clustering of urban agglomerations in an orderly manner, and making urban agglomerations the core and pioneer areas through a Chinese path to modernization; advancing the high-quality development of the county comprehensively and building the county and small towns into an important carrier area of Chinese-style modernization; boosting the high-quality urban-rural integration and making the integrated urban-rural development as the direction of Chinese-style modernization; constructing beautiful cities and beautiful villages by relying on the shift in driving forces for development. To achieve Chinese-style modernization based on the new-type urbanization and the integrated urban-rural development requires full consideration of regional and urban-rural differences, a comprehensive regional plan for Chinese-style modernization, and a roadmap and timetable for Chinese-style modernization according to local conditions. If the dialectical relationship and path dependence between Chinese-style urbanization and Chinese-style modernization construction are correctly handled, the process of Chinese-style modernization will be gradually accelerated amidst both opportunities and challenges.
