With unique craftsmanship, you can make a grand plan with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Beijing's East Sixth Ring Road is 41 meters underground, and the most under construction underground highway tunnel in the Great Wall City in China is stepping up construction, which will strongly promote the coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei regional traffic after completion; The "smart brain" in the Yangtze River Delta Demonstration Zone has been launched, which has opened 18 data links and gathered 242 data resources, making it easier for enterprises and people to handle affairs, and more effective for governments to coordinate governance across regions; After the opening of Yinzhou Lanzhou High speed Railway, the number of tourists in both places has soared, and the reputation of wolfberry, jujube, beef and mutton and other special agricultural products along the line has spread far and wide... Today, on the land of more than 9.6 million square kilometers in China, rural industries are booming, the economic aggregate of each region is rising, and the structure continues to be optimized. The coordinated development of fine brushwork from point to surface is becoming a magnificent picture to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has taken solid steps in the coordinated development of urban and rural areas and regions, with strong momentum for high-quality development. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "We should comprehensively promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas and regions, and improve the coverage of the domestic big cycle." The modernization process must be accompanied by the profound adjustment of the urban and rural regional structure, which is also a process of releasing huge demand and creating huge supply. At present, there is a huge potential for improving the quality and expanding the capacity of China's residents' consumption, and there is a strong demand for short and long plates. On this basis, promoting new urbanization and regional coordinated development is conducive to further expanding the domestic market space, stimulating market vitality, and leading to the creation of more market demand. Adhere to the national game plan, orderly link the strategy of expanding domestic demand with the new urbanization strategy, and thoroughly implement the regional coordinated development strategy, so as to better enhance the integrity and coordination of development, and enhance China's viability, competitiveness, development and sustainability.

The urban and rural economic cycle is an integral part of the domestic big cycle, and also a key factor to ensure the health of the domestic and international double cycle ratio relationship. "Agriculture, rural areas and farmers" involve many industries, wide fields and large groups. In expanding domestic demand and building a new development pattern, there is very broad space and potential to be tapped, and it plays a very prominent role in supporting the strategy of stabilizing growth, employment and prices. With the continuous growth of farmers' income and the accelerated upgrading of rural consumption, it is estimated that about 2 trillion yuan of new consumption demand can be added every year. By the end of 2022, the urbanization rate of China's permanent population will be 65.22%, and there is still much room for improvement. It is preliminarily estimated that in the next 5 to 10 years, the investment demand for rural construction such as high standard farmland and facility agriculture will be nearly 15 trillion yuan. To focus on expanding domestic demand, it is necessary to give full play to the important role of the countryside as a consumer market and factor market, comprehensively promote rural revitalization, promote the urbanization construction with the county town as an important carrier, promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas, strengthen the economic ties between urban and rural areas, and smooth the economic cycle between urban and rural areas.

Implementing the strategy of coordinated regional development is an important part of implementing the new development concept and building a modern economic system. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's regional coordinated development has presented a new pattern and new atmosphere. The proportion of the GDP of the central and western regions in the country will increase from 21.3% and 19.6% in 2012 to 22% and 21.1% in 2021, and the relative gap of regional development will continue to narrow; In 2021, the gross domestic product of 9 inland cities in Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area will exceed 40% of the national total, and the role of power source regions as engines will continue to grow. Mutual aid between the east and the west, coordination between the north and the south, and overall planning of land and sea have increasingly strengthened the coordination and balance of national development. To promote the deep integration of regional coordinated development strategy, regional major strategy, and main function zone strategy, and at the same time to prevent local self circulation, eliminate regional barriers, truly form a unified national market, optimize the layout of major productive forces, can provide solid support for expanding domestic demand and building a new development pattern.

The weight of a feather is balanced. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "When we think about problems, make decisions, and do things, we should first consider the population base, and consider the reality of large differences in the development level between urban and rural areas in China. We should neither aim too high nor follow the beaten track. We should maintain historical patience, adhere to the principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, step by step, and continue to advance." Promoting coordinated development between urban and rural areas and regions is a long-term process, According to the conditions of each region, we should follow the path of rational division of labor and optimized development, promote relative balance in development, plan regions from the overall situation, serve the overall situation with regions, respect objective laws, and give play to comparative advantages.

Coordinated development contains great potential for high-quality development. Flowers from Heze Rose Planting Base in Shandong are sold to Beijing and Qingdao; The huge amount of green electricity of Baihetan Hydropower Station crosses mountains and rivers along the densely distributed UHV lines, and is "flashed" to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces 2000 kilometers away in about 7 milliseconds... All regions adjust measures to local conditions, based on their own comparative advantages, and integrated into the overall national development situation, rationally divide labor and complement each other's advantages, playing a "concerto" to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern. Taking a new journey, demonstrating new achievements, promoting the rational flow and efficient agglomeration of various factors, and unblocking the domestic circulation will surely inject surging momentum into Chinese modernization through coordinated development.
