"The" special "of" characteristic town "mainly refers to the" special "of industry, that is, an industry or even a link in high-tech service industry or traditional classic industry. Industry is the vitality of the development of' characteristic towns', and its characteristic is the competitiveness of industrial development. " According to Chen Rui, a member of the Innovation and Strategy Research Institute of China Association for Science and Technology, the "characteristic town" shows its strong vitality and supporting significance to the whole regional economy with its unique industry and profound historical and cultural heritage.
For example, there are only two main roads in the whole town of Davos, with a population of only 1.3 million, but it has become the "economic United Nations" for high-end international conferences; Relying on Hengdian Film and Television City, Hengdian Town in Zhejiang Province has created a unique film and television "characteristic town", which not only attracts a large number of film and television crews, but also becomes a leisure tourist attraction, and is called "Oriental Hollywood" by Hollywood Report magazine in the United States. The core area of Silicon Valley in the United States is only 800 square kilometers, with nearly 7,000 high-tech companies, which is a symbol of high-tech industry in the United States and even the world. ...
Forward-looking Industry Research Institute, a professional planning agency for characteristic towns, points out that' characteristic towns' are an entrepreneurial innovation ecosystem integrating industrial chain, investment chain, innovation chain, talent chain and service chain. From the experience at home and abroad,' characteristic towns' should strive to be' expert and strong' in industrial positioning, rather than' big and comprehensive', and each' characteristic town' should have a major industrial direction. "
The characteristic of "characteristic town" lies in the "special" culture. Min Xueqin believes that "characteristic towns" should have different historical memories and cultural contexts from other towns. "In Hay, an elegant town in England, every household has a library. Travelers can borrow books from any house as long as they make an appointment in advance. "Shuxiang" is the unique cultural charm of Haiyi Town. Tea tasting, painting and ceramics burning in small towns are also options provided by some' characteristic towns' in Zhejiang. In terms of hardware facilities, we have not lost to Europe and America. To build a' characteristic town', we need to find culture, characteristics, software and soul. "
The "characteristics" of "characteristic towns" actually gather all kinds of elements needed for development, which provides an example for cracking the dual structure of urban and rural areas. Most of the "characteristic towns" at home and abroad integrate creative space, R&D center and talent apartment, and the production, life and ecology in the town are integrated with each other. In this new space, which pays attention to the superposition of functions, the integration of factors and the integration of "production, city and people", many problems brought about by the dual structure of urban and rural areas have been solved.
To build a "characteristic town", we must also innovate ideas and mechanisms. In terms of funds, PPP cooperation mode can be adopted, that is, government and social capital cooperation; In the construction, the mechanism of "government guidance, enterprise subject and market operation" is adopted to stimulate the vitality of market subjects and the creativity of entrepreneurs to the maximum extent, actively mobilize the enthusiasm of citizens, and gradually form a modern urban governance model with multiple participation and benign interaction.
