Managing Rural-urban Transition in Periurban China:
Towards a New Research Agenda on Participatory Urban Development and Inclusive Governance
主办:人大国发院农业发展与环境政策研究中心
协办:香港大学 香港理工大学 北京丰台区芦沟桥乡党委
时间:2017年12月22日
地点:明德主楼931会议室
会议背景:
在过去的四十年中,中国的城市化进程飞速发展,已有约4亿农民变成了城市居民,并且这一进程丝毫没有减缓。在十二五规划期间(2011-2015),中国的城镇化率年均提高一点二个百分点,八千多万农业转移人口成为城镇居民。
中国史无前例的城市化进程不仅向我们提供了宝贵的机遇,也带来了严峻的挑战。一方面,它为学者们提出关于城市发展与治理的创新性理论提供了丰富的案例与研究对象;另一方面,它也迫使学者们必须加强和创新社会治理研究,为城乡转型过程中的改革部署和重大政策提供依据,防微杜渐,在经济、社会与环境等诸多方面的问题累积成危机之前予以解决与应对。
此次研讨会旨在通过分析与讨论不同地区(如北京、重庆、长三角与珠三角)在基层治理方面的实际经验,探索城市化与基层治理体系与治理能力的相互影响与作用。在学术层面,本次研讨会希望通过总结中国特色城市化的相关经验与探讨最新的发展趋势,为已有城市化相关研究提供新的注解与认识。在实际应用层面,此次研讨会响应十九大会议精神的号召,希望能借此加强社区治理体系建设,实现政府治理和社会调节、居民自治良性互动,不断推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化,以更好地应对城市发展过程中的各种挑战。
Background and Goal
Over the past four decades, more than 400 million rural peasants in China have become urban residents. However, China’s pace of urbanization has not slowed down. As revealed by the official review on the 12th Five-Year Plan, urbanization continued to rapidly grow at the rate 1.2 percent per year during 2011 and 2015, leading 80 million more rural peasants to become urban residents.
This unprecedented process of urbanization presents both opportunities and challenges to scholars and policy makers. On the one hand, it offers numerous reflexive examples for the production of new theories about urban development and governance. On the other hand, it calls for rigorous, innovative studies which can generate effective solutions for policy makers and urban planners to tackle the economic, social and environmental problems of rapid rural-urban transformation before they turn into crises.
The goal of this symposium is to explore the interplay between urbanization and restructuring of local governance in China through analyzing locally specific experience of governance practices in different regions, such as Beijing, Chongqing, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and so on. On the academic front, this symposium is expected to generate new, critical insights about China’s unique patterns and latest trends of urban development, and discuss their implications on the existing and new theories in the field of urban studies. On the practical front, it provides significant references to inform policy making and administrative practices towards institutional capacity building, inclusive governance and participatory urbanization, in order to better equip the Chinese society to cope with the various challenges of unbridled urban growth.
