Local urbanization is to complete the transformation of rural areas into towns locally.
It means retaining the inherent pattern of distribution of villages and towns in China, with appropriate consolidation of only a few villages with few people and high cost of living.
Increasing the basic elements of towns such as environmental protection, sewage treatment, tertiary industry, health, banking, medical care, education (even higher education), etc., China's villages and towns will be developed into beautiful small towns with beautiful environments where farmers have employment and retirement.
At the same time, the rural population will not migrate to the cities, but will live the same life as the urbanites by developing production and increasing income, improving infrastructure, developing social services, improving their quality, and changing their lifestyles in their original places of residence.
"In situ" means the original place of residence, including the original natural villages, administrative villages and new communities formed by merging villages and points.

Successful cases of local urbanization:
After years of construction, especially in recent years China's new socialist countryside construction boom, the vast majority of rural villages have emerged thousands of typical local urbanization, such as Huaxi Village in Jiangsu Province, Henan Province, Liuzhuang Village, Long Horn Village in Shandong Province, Nanshan Village and so on.
Most of the farmers in these places are no longer engaged in agricultural production, and have moved to secondary and tertiary industries, with higher incomes, education, health care, pension, housing and other basic welfare, the living standards of the farmers are higher than those in the cities, and are known as the beautiful and rich "rural city".
These typical examples of "local urbanization" will have a huge educational, demonstration and spreading effect.
