Community Building in Urban-rural Integration: Lessons from a Yiwu Village, Zhejiang
Over the past two decades, the implementation of integrated urban-rural development has resulted in the rejuvenation of numerous traditional villages in Zhejiang Province. These villages have not only transformed into high-quality and promising communities for residents, but also emerged as a new driving force for local economic development. Using A Village in Yiwu as a case study, this study will demonstrate the local government's engagement with village leaders, residents, and external investors for economic progress, as well as for welfare services and cultural advancement. The insights gained from this case will be examined in terms of their applications and policy implications for promoting sustainable urban-rural integration through community development, particularly in the context of Hong Kong's northern metropolis development strategy.
