城乡和谐是社会和谐的重要的组成部分,没有城乡和谐就没有社会和谐。城乡和谐不等于消除城乡差距,而是在可以容许的差距下求得共同发展。本文回顾了十一届三中全会以来历届三中全会关于城乡和谐的战略决策过程,进一步探求统筹城乡协调发展的道路。 Harmony between urban and rural areas is an important part of social harmony, there is no social harmony without urban-rural harmony. Harmony between urban and rural areas does not mean eliminating the urban-rural gap, but rather seeking for common development under the tolerable gap. This paper reviews the strategic decision-making process of urban-rural harmony since the Third Plenary Session of the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and further explores ways to make coordinated development between urban and rural areas.
