小城镇建设与全面小康社会的实现

The Building of Small Cities and Towns and the Realization ofWell-off Society in an All-round Way

全面小康是我们党在十六大报告上提出的21世纪的宏伟目标,小城镇建设则是实现全面小康的重要途径和手段,起着桥梁和纽带的作用。由总体小康向全面小康的转变,也促使小城镇建设的理念随之改变。小城镇建设必须因地制宜,实现体制创新,谋求全方位的发展,而政府在小城镇建设中的作用定位则只能限于"公共领域",即"市场失灵"领域。

Building the well-off society in an all-round way, which is put forward in the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), is our magnificent goal the first two decades of this century. Developing small cities and towns is an important approach and means to realize it. With the transformation from a well-off society as a whole to a well-of society in an all-round way, strategies and ideas on the development of small cities and towns should be changed. It is essential to persist in the coordinated development of large, medium and small cities and small towns along the path to urbanization with Chinese characteristics, the proportion of urban population will go up considerably and the trend of widening differences between industry and agriculture, between urban and rural areas and between regions will be reversed step by step. Accordingly, this paper suggests that we must improve the government functions of economic regulation, market supervision and public services, the role of government should be limited in the public services fields, or market failure fields.
