In a joint programmed sponsored by the UNDP, the China Center for Town Reform and Development (CCTRD) under the State Council Office for the Restructuring of the Economic System, the State Development Planning Commission and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, the towns will serve as test fields for urbanization in the countryside.
Urbanization works on two levels - the development of larger metropolises and that of smaller cities and towns.
Senior agriculture and rural development researchers suggest local governments should make more efforts to channel surplus rural labor into small towns.
This will not only help cut unemployment in villages but also accelerate the process of urbanization.
China's urbanization ratio is significantly lower than that of developed countries and many developing nations. However, most people are crowded in big cities. Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin are all cities with the populations over ten million. Among which, Shanghai tops the other Chinese cities with a record 16 million people. Many problems arise from dense population.
The government adopted a town-first policy in 1996, encouraging rural residents to move into towns instead of big cities. And the country still uses a rigid residence registration and labor-absorbing system that largely bars rural residents from flowing into big cities.
Regardless of the restrictions, throngs of farmers are pouring into cities as transient laborers, causing increasing economic and social problems and prompting fears that existing urban facilities will crumble if the restrictions are loosened.
China has yet to lift restrictions on the immigration of farmers into big cities; for fear that an uncontrolled inflow - driven by heavy employment pressure in rural areas - will pile huge problems on cities. But restrictions sometimes do not take effect.
