马克思的城市化思想与中国特色城镇化道路

Marx's Thought of Urbanization and the Distinctive Urbanization with Chinese Characteristics

马克思的城市化思想不仅有着深厚的理论基础,它是历史唯物主义的组成部分,而且有其明确的实践诉求,即城市化的本质功能和历史作用是实现人类社会的现代转型。以马克思的城市化思想来反观当前中国的城市化实践,不仅有助于我们重新发现过去农村城镇化道路的合理性与优越性,而且有助于我们克服当前"大城市化"偏向只见城市、不见农村的误区,真正把农村生产方式与生活方式的现代转型纳入到城市化的实践诉求与价值追求中来,实现社会主义城市与乡村的共同发展。

Marx＇s thought of urbanization does not only have a profound theoretical basis, which is an essential part of historical materialism, but also has a clear practical appeal, that is, the essence of urbanization and historical role is to realize the modern transformation of human society. Reflecting China＇s urbanization practice from Marx＇s view of urbanization will not only help us to find the rationality and superiority of rural urbanization in the past, but also help us to overcome the disadvantage of current ＂big city＂ strategy which focuses on urban areas only but overlooks rural areas. Only in this way, can we bring the modern transformation of rural production and lifestyle into the practice and value of pursuing urbanization, and to realize the mutual development of urban and rural areas.
