Songyang Showcases Innovative Urban-Rural Development Model at International Forum<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Around 110 attendees from China<\/span> and abroad engaged in in-depth exchanges on coordinated urban-rural development from November 3 to 6<\/span> during the International Dialogue on Urban-Rural Linkages, held in Songyang County, East China’s Zhejiang Province<\/span>. The event was co-hosted by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and the Center for Europe<\/span> and Africa<\/span> of China International Communications Group (CICG).<\/p>\n

Themed “Enhancing Urban-Rural Linkages: Culture, Housing, and Basic Services,” the dialogue aimed to showcase Songyang’s development model and its innovative practices in revitalizing a classical rural Chinese county for the international community, thereby fostering broader exchange and cooperation in the field of urban-rural development. Located in the heart of Jiangnan, Songyang County is known as “the last secret paradise” and revered as “a living embodiment of classical China<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

Boasting a profound cultural and historical legacy, the county is home to over 100 well-preserved traditional villages and the famed Songyang Old Street<\/span>. It is one of the regions in East China with the most intact systems of historical cities, towns, and villages, standing as a testament to the richness of local culture. Its breathtaking beauty has earned it the name of a “living version” of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival<\/i>, an iconic Song Dynasty painting that captures the vibrant rhythm of daily life in perfect harmony with nature, where people, markets, boats, and buildings blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n

During the event, attendees visited key sites including the Hetianglin Block, Songyang Old Street<\/span>, Songzhuang Village in Sandu Township, Smart Transportation Industrial Park, and Songyang Co-distribution Center. They discussed strategies for coordinated urban-rural development, covering topics such as revitalizing urban spaces, creating themed districts, innovating traditional villages, and promoting green urban-rural transportation.<\/p>\n

Songyang has made significant achievements in international communication in recent years. In April 2024<\/span>, it was designated by CICG as a member of the International Communication Union. Last month, Songyang was included in the 2025 China County-Level International Communication Development Report, and was honored as one of the top 10 “Innovative Cases of County-Level International Communication.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
