城乡差距和城乡统筹发展的优先次序

Urban-rural Differences and the Rank of Priority between the City and the Country in the Coordinated Development

我国存在的城乡差距,有城乡收入差距,有城乡经济社会发展水平的差距,也有城乡居民生活条件的差距。从长远看,所有这些差距都应该缩小。但在现阶段最为迫切也是能够解决的是城乡居民生活条件的差距。从改善农村生活条件入手缩小城乡差距需要政府发挥作用。城乡居民生活条件趋向均等的基本条件是,基本公共服务在经济发展水平不同的城乡均等化。为此需要改变长期依据各地的GDP反映的经济发展水平来决定各地的生活条件的思路和相关政策。不论城乡的发展水平有多大差别,但基本公共品供给还是均等的。面对我国农村村庄分布广而分散的特点,需要在乡村集中化、城镇城市化和都市圈建设三个方面扩大以城带乡、扩大公共产品在农村覆盖面的范围经济。

The current urban-rural difference includes income differences, gap in social economic development and difference in living standard. In the long run, they all ought to be eliminated. The number one crucial task is to narrow the difference in living standard, which requires government intervention. The precondition for the convergence of living standard between the city and the countryside is the equal distribution of public services regardless of levels of regional GDP.
