What are the benefits of creating a characteristic town? How to create a characteristic town?

To create a characteristic town, the environment is relatively good first! The overall effect of the town is pleasing to the eye! To build a livable city, on the one hand, the daily life of the original residents of the town is much more convenient, on the other hand, it is good to attract investment and develop tourism.

There are four benefits to the construction of characteristic towns:

1. First of all, it is an effective way to speed up the new type of urbanization, which requires the coordinated development of large and medium-sized cities and small towns. At the same time, it is also an effective measure to build a basic platform for the integration of urban and rural development, and to accelerate the pace of urbanization, especially the construction of characteristic small towns, is an important starting point for breaking the dual structure of urban and rural areas, and is also an urgent need to meet the new expectations of the masses for a better biochemical life. Finally, it is necessary to explore scientific methods to promote the construction of small towns.

Under the new normal of China's economic development, small towns are facing new development opportunities. First, the increase in peasants' incomes has brought opportunities.

2. Second, industrial transfer and migrant workers returning to their hometowns to start businesses bring opportunities.

3. Third, the completion and improvement of major infrastructure such as high-speed railways, highways, bridges, and airports will bring opportunities.

4. Fourth, the changes in the lifestyle of urban residents bring opportunities. Urbanization is the only way to modernization, and the construction of characteristic small towns should be regarded as an important breakthrough to promote new urbanization and promote the integration of urban and rural development.

Based on years of experience in agricultural and rural planning and design and practical cases, Envision Design Institute believes that the planning and design of characteristic small towns should be based on the actual situation of regional development and their own core competitiveness. For some suburban areas that are relatively close to large and medium-sized cities, with convenient and fast transportation, many regional tourism elements, profound folk culture, distinctive theme characteristics, unique topography and landform, etc., in the planning and design and later construction and operation, we should vigorously combine the development of rural tourism, drive the sales of characteristic agricultural products through rural tourism, solve rural employment, provide space for returning to the hometown to start a business, increase farmers' income, and build characteristic small towns.

In the past two years, China's characteristic towns have risen rapidly, and the construction of characteristic towns is becoming a new economic hotspot in China. However, compared with some world-famous landmark development towns abroad, in the tide of domestic characteristic town construction, "one side of a thousand towns" is criticized, so how can our characteristic towns have their own characteristics?

1. The "characteristics" of characteristic towns

Characteristics are not difficult to understand literally, the style and form of a thing or one thing that distinguishes it significantly from others. Characteristic towns are determined by specific and specific environmental factors on which the town depends for its existence and development, such as geographical location, land, climate, history, culture, language, transportation, industry, etc.

2. How to maintain the "characteristics" of characteristic towns

1. Maintain the distinctiveness of the "characteristics" of the town.

The characteristics of a characteristic town lie in the "characteristics", its charm also lies in the "characteristics", and its vitality also lies in the "characteristics". Therefore, maintaining the distinctiveness of the "characteristics" of the town is the first principle of building a characteristic town.

Maintain a distinct regional identity. In some places, mountains and water resources are abundant, and the creation of characteristic towns should reflect the regional characteristics of "valleys" or "water towns".

Maintain a distinct industrial identity. The township is fertile, rich in agricultural, forestry and fishery resources, and the creation of characteristic towns integrates the industrial advantages of the locality, and focuses on cultivating pillar industries, or "agriculture", "forest", or fishery, to form its own characteristic industries.

2. Maintain the originality and freshness of local culture.

The so-called "originality" and "freshness" refer to the interpretation of the cultural traditions of the town with social and ecological elements such as unique natural features, living customs, and human production and labor. There is a lot of local culture that can be excavated. For example, life culture such as spinning, weaving, steaming cakes, and making balls, folk culture such as homespun clothing display, traditional wedding ceremonies, and game culture such as pushing iron hoops and stepping on stilts, etc.

As long as you are good at developing and making good use of it, you will definitely be able to make the town exude an attractive fragrance.

3. Integrate with industrial development.

Many successful experiences at home and abroad tell us that the construction of characteristic towns must be combined with industrial planning, so as to maintain the lasting prosperity of the town. At present, the decline of the functions of many small towns is a negative example.

The functional positioning of characteristic towns restricts the development space of many industries. Because of this, it is even more important to choose and cultivate an industry that is suitable for the development of the town itself. A dynamic industry can gather popularity, attract **, logistics, and capital flows, and at the same time promote employment and prosper the market.

To build a characteristic town, it is necessary to combine the development of agriculture, fishery, forestry, commerce and trade, as well as catering and other service industries with comprehensive planning, select industries suitable for the development direction of the town to become stronger and bigger, and gradually develop into a strong support for the development of the town.

4. Give the town an eco-tourism function.

Compared with traditional towns, a significant feature of characteristic towns is that it is not simply a form of settlement and a mode of life, but also a valuable cultural tourism resource and a place for leisure and vacation.

Therefore, from roads, traffic, environment, architectural features, to functional layout, various facilities, from leisure.

First of all, characteristic towns are the key to solving the dual structure of urban and rural areas. It is an effective measure to build the integration of urban and rural development, and it is also an urgent need to meet the new expectations of the people's life by adapting measures to local conditions, cultivating characteristic industries, and coordinating labor in surrounding areas.

Secondly, characteristic towns are a booster to accelerate the process of new urbanization in the country.

China's new urbanization emphasizes the realization of human urbanization and people-oriented sustainable development. The characteristics of the construction of small towns are to promote the urbanization of the rural population, the permanent population of peasant families, and the transfer of the rural population with the ability to work and live stably in the cities and towns through the concept of industrial agglomeration and ecological civilization, so as to promote the absorption capacity and population flow in an orderly manner, and the increase of the urban population to form permanent residents. The diversified needs of residents have promoted the development of basic public service facilities such as real estate, finance and industry, making characteristic towns an important carrier for promoting the process of urbanization and promoting the formation of a new type of urbanization.

Secondly, characteristic towns are a new driving force for economic and social transformation.

In the context of China's economy entering the new normal, it is difficult for traditional low-cost labor-intensive industries to develop on a large scale, and at the same time, the drawbacks caused by the extensive production mode in the past and the pressure on the social environment have begun to become prominent. China's economic and social development urgently needs new growth points, providing effective supply and promoting supply-side structural reform.

To sum up, characteristic towns are an important part of improving the economic vitality of small towns.

China's small towns are relatively lagging behind, lack of motivation, weak industrial development, brain drain and other serious problems, but small towns play a very important and irreplaceable role in China's economic and social development and promoting the construction of new urbanization.

A good ecological pattern, a town full of economic vitality, and a characteristic town with the support of leisure agriculture. Good future development direction, especially the construction of pastoral towns supported by the development of leisure agriculture or modern agricultural industry; Good planning positioning and market role, in the full demonstration of regional economic development foundation, urban resource endowment, the formation of accurate overall positioning; Fully in the architectural style building, historical and cultural inheritance and development, ecological environment construction and protection and other aspects of the planning content, to ensure the development of the technical system of characteristic towns; Combined with the development of leisure tourism agriculture, its business format and the town's commercial business format are planned as a whole, integrated development, and form a development trend of complementarity, mutual integration, interaction and regional interconnection. In planning and design, we can learn from some domestic and foreign experience.

Or you can refer to the planning and design cases of the Zhongnong Futong Urban and Rural Planning Institute, such as the National Agricultural Park, the colorful pastoral town, and the planning of the agricultural tourism town, specifically at the technical level, such as: comprehensive transportation system, green space system planning, spatial structure planning, supporting facilities planning, tourism signs, public characteristic activity space context, industrial space, etc. should be built with characteristics and strengthened support.

A few suggestions for the construction of characteristic towns:

1. Overall thinking and system design. From the functional positioning, distribution, industrial development direction of the town to the specific quantity and scale, from the architectural style, functional design, supporting facilities to cultural excavation of the characteristic town, the creation of "characteristics", from nesting to attracting investment, from planning and construction to management services, from the relationship between the town and the overall development of urban and rural areas to the relationship with the vital interests of the people, it is necessary to think systematically and design systematically, so as to fully reflect the purpose of serving the construction of the ecological island and improving the lives of the people.

2. Reasonable layout, pilot first.

Eastern region - focus on building a national fishing port town. Taking advantage of the approval of the national fishing port, we will take the lead in Chongming or the eastern part of Changxing, take advantage of the industrial advantages of the marine fishing industry, and strive to build a "three-in-one" model of "Oriental Fishing Port" town, and also accumulate experience for the construction of other towns.

2) Central Region - Focus on creating a European-style "post town". In the central region, the forest park area is densely covered with ecological forests and the air is pure. Farm stays, various leisure farms and resort communities are broadcast.

However, due to the dense distribution, the same functions, and the lack of characteristics, it is difficult to gather popularity, and the waste of resources is serious. In order to drive the surrounding tourism and promote the formation of a "green eco-tourism circle" in the central region. It is suggested that in the area of the forest park, focus on building a European-style "post town".

3) Western region - focus on building characteristic agricultural ecological towns. Modern ecological agriculture is an important project and an important symbol of the construction of Chongming Ecological Island. The ecological agriculture in the western Lvhua Town area is quite distinctive, and it has the unique advantage of preparing to build an agricultural "green town".

At present, there are two main models with the most potential characteristic towns: the "trinity" model of residential life, eco-tourism and industrial development, and the "post station" model of leisure, business and vacation.

The "Trinity" modelIt can be a unique residential house, public building and supporting characteristic business and trade industry as the "shell", with characteristic folk culture and life culture as the core, supplemented by the comprehensive utilization of characteristic tourism resources such as surrounding natural resources, characteristic agriculture, red resources, and historical sites, and with the characteristic industries with regional characteristics as the pillars, forming a characteristic pattern of rich life atmosphere, folk customs, tourism, industry and other cultures blending with each other and can undertake large-scale tourism.

"Station" modeWith the characteristic buildings with various ecological elements as the "nest", it attracts all kinds of characteristic operators (such as commercial, business, sports, entertainment and resort hotels, various pavilions and bars, etc.) that meet the preset functions of the town and some wealthy people to "station" in the town, so as to create a "post station" for public leisure, entertainment and vacation, as well as a "base" for special activities such as business.

That's a lot of benefits, otherwise why do you lead this thing? It must be of great significance.

The core of the construction of characteristic towns is the upgrading and transformation of industries.

Feng Kui, a researcher at the National Center for Reform and Development of Cities and Small Towns, once said that a good characteristic town should achieve long-term benefits, which are different from short-term benefits. Short-term income refers to the fact that in the past, we mainly sold land in pieces, collected land transfer fees, and used land transfer fees to supplement the lack of infrastructure investment. A characteristic town, it is to solve local employment through the development of the town, attract small and medium-sized enterprises and some characteristic industries to settle in, so that the place will continue to generate tax revenue.

It can't be a windfall profit, but a long-term, stable gain. Some places in Zhejiang have already begun to emerge.

The second is to achieve comprehensive returns, rather than single gains. A characteristic town can improve people's living environment, provide space for leisure and entertainment, make people have a place to travel, and it can attract new economy to settle in the local area, and improve the investment quality and investment environment of a region.

Again, characteristic towns also provide an institutional benefit. Because the development of characteristic towns is different from the development of traditional towns, the development of parks, and the organizational model. It pays special attention to the operation of social capital, and pays attention to the cooperation of enterprise planning consulting, services, and infrastructure operation in the town in the development process of characteristic towns.

In fact, the development mechanism cultivated in this area is the most energetic, and I think this kind of thing is also very valuable.
