How does the government develop and build characteristic towns to avoid the development trap?

Characteristic towns are still hot areas of national development, and many policy documents show that the state will continue to give preferential support to the construction of characteristic towns. In the process of developing characteristic towns, local governments must understand the following four issues in order to avoid falling into the development trap.

First, cultivating leading industries is still the top priority. Characteristic towns should adhere to the principle of "building towns by production, leading towns by production, and prospering towns by production", and promote the development of urban resources to urban industries, urban industries to urban economies, and urban economies to towns, so as to finally realize the coordinated development of production and cities and provide impetus and support for the sustained and healthy development of characteristic towns in China.

Second, the control of land should be strict, and the more it is used, the better. In view of the problems existing in the allocation of construction land for characteristic towns, Lv Wen City, Lv Wei put forward suggestions on the use of land for characteristic towns. Through six countermeasures, such as intensive use of land resources and revitalization of inefficient idle construction land, it provided reference ideas for the development of characteristic towns in various places.

Third, weigh the interests of all parties. The government should fully weigh the interests of all parties, give strong support to developers and operators, clarify powers and responsibilities and strengthen supervision. In the process of cooperation with developers, we should have a long-term vision, and from the perspective of local development, we should not seek temporary local interests or consider long-term development.

Fourth, constantly innovate the management mechanism. In the development and operation of characteristic towns, the government plays a more important role in management and support. Mainly reflected in infrastructure construction, public service facilities construction, support policy guarantee, urban marketing and public management.

Lv Wen, Lv Wei is a "three-level" planning and design institute for urban and rural planning, tourism planning and landscape design, the vice-chairman unit of China Characteristic Town Alliance, and a comprehensive service provider for characteristic towns. It is a leading organization for pan-tourism, characteristic towns and rural revitalization and innovation, and provides services such as planning, landscape design, development and operation, investment and financing, creative counseling and IP introduction for the development and construction of characteristic towns (cities).

Based on the concept of "creative classics, ground operation", Lv Wen, Lv Wei took the lead in proposing "a new urbanization model oriented by tourism" and a model of "integration of production and city" in tourist towns, and participated in the compilation of Evaluation Criteria for Beijing Tourist Towns, Classification and Evaluation Criteria for Tourist Towns, Evaluation Criteria for Sports Towns, Indicator System for Ecological Towns and Urban Criteria for Yang Kang. Four small town special issues, such as Tourism Leading New Urbanization, Guide to the Development and Operation of Tourist Towns, Characteristic Town Incubator, Guide to the Development and Operation of Characteristic Towns, and Tourist Towns, Sports Towns and Ecological Towns, were published to build a service platform for the development and operation of characteristic towns, innovate the service mode of characteristic town incubators, and provide all-round support and a package of solutions for the development and construction of characteristic towns (cities).

Up to now, hundreds of characteristic towns such as Lv Wen Town, Art Town, Sports Town, Yang Kang Town, Hot Spring Town, Ecological Town, Agricultural Town, Music Town, Vocational Education Town and Ancient Town have been built, including Gubeikou Town, Fragrant Flowers and Fruits Town, Gu Yan Painting Town, Guanqiao New Material Town, Baofeng Zen Rhyme Town and Yincun Vocational Education Town.
