城乡融合是城与乡的双向互动，既是"城融乡"，也是"乡融城"。从城市一端看，重点是吸纳农业农 村转移人口，以现代工业和城市承载更多人口实现现代化。从乡村一端看，重点是以现代工业和城镇文 明辐射乡村，把县乡村作为整体单元一体发展，让广大乡村人口就地就近实现现代化。在实践中，推进 城乡融合发展应聚焦两个关键点。 一方面，围绕"人的城镇化"这一核心要求推进新型城镇化。 城镇化是现代化的必由之路，主要表现为城镇规模扩张和人口向城镇集中。我国现代化发展过程也 是农村富余劳动力和农村人口向城镇转移的过程。基于我国国情和城乡二元结构特征，人口转移既有在 城镇落户、完全融入城镇的户籍人口城镇化，也有不转移农村户籍、仅进城务工生活的流动人口城镇 化。2023年末我国常住人口城镇化率约为66.2%，提前完成了"十四五"规划纲要中常住人口城镇化率提 高到65%的目标。与此同时，2023年底我国户籍人口城镇化率为48.3%，与常住人口城镇化率相差约 17.9个百分点。由于一些地方的城乡公共服务配置政策还受户籍限制，大量转移人口尚未彻底融入城 镇，还不能完全享有市民同等待遇，这也成为提升城镇化质量的关键突破口。根据国家统计局发布 推进城 ...

推进城乡融合发展是破解新时代社会主要矛盾、解决发展不平衡不充分问题的有力抓手，也是习近平经 济思想的重要内容。城乡关系是贯穿于现代化发展全过程的基本关系，城乡空间是构成现代化建设的两 个主要空间载体，城乡两大社会系统的互动以及功能互补推动现代化建设不断向前迈进。习近平总书记 强调："在现代化进程中，如何处理好工农关系、城乡关系，在一定程度上决定着现代化的成败。"伴随 经济社会快速发展，我国城乡关系深刻调整、加速重构，逐步从分治走向融合。实践表明，推动城乡融 合发展体现城乡关系深度演进的规律性特征，是破除城乡二元结构、推动高质量发展、实现全体人民共 同富裕的重大举措，也是推进中国式现代化的必然要求。 还要看到，畅通工农城乡循环，是畅通国内经济大循环、增强我国经济发展韧性和战略纵深的重要一 环。只有实现了城乡、区域协调发展，国内大循环的空间才能更广阔、成色才能更足。我国幅员辽阔、 人口众多，大部分国土面积在农村，近5亿人口生活在农村。乡村是巨大的消费市场、要素市场，几亿 农民整体迈入现代化，会释放巨大的创造动能和消费潜能，为经济社会发展注入强大动力。建设全国统 一大市场，构建新发展格局，实现高质量发展，都必须统筹 ...
