From “Construction of socialist new countryside” to “New-type urbanization”, and from “One Village One Product” to “Characteristic Town”, we have been unhappy with the state of the city, thus see the countryside as a fortress to resist marketization, and treat the acquaintance society and self-sufficient agricultural economy of the countryside as a magic bullet. In such context, Urban China will reflect on the nationwide urban-rural relationship and changes in economic geography, take lessons from the rural development and respond to the subject of “How can we seek ‘self-salvation of the city’ in the countryside”. The discussion will look into issues emerged in present rural development from different views such as architecture and city planning, economic geography and anthropology, which aims to provide more perspective in different angles.
