Annual meeting on innovation and development of small towns with characteristics held by JC Group in Beijing

At present, housing prices are so high that many homebuyers are deterred from buying houses. How to let the house really return to the essence of "living" instead of "speculation"?

Wei Jie said that this problem can be solved synchronically in the process of building small towns with characteristics. That is to implement "binary-plan" housing system, which not only retains low-rent housing, but also retains commercial housing. Besides housing, education, medical care and other aspects, the "binary-plan system”, and solutions under new era should also be explored continuously.

"Small towns with Chinese characteristics must take the road of industrialization with their own characteristics," he said. In the process of industrialization, we should take the binary-plan system and, more importantly, digitization should be added, which is a real characteristic industry.

Lu Zhongyuan, former deputy director of the Development Research Center of the State Council, said the new urbanization is people-centered urbanization. The priority is to create jobs. "We have to consider whether this industry can be based, developed, and expanded in this place, whether it can be competitive at home or even globally". He said that paying attention to some new developments in consumption upgrading is an important basis for establishing industrial upgrading and industrial layout.

Liu Ming, deputy editor in chief of the Outlook Weekly of Xinhua News Agency, said "the construction of small towns with characteristics has brought new thinking about how China will go to the world". He said that the small towns with Chinese characteristics are likely to go global in the future and have the same popularity as Davos.

As the highlight of this forum, the Annual Development Report of the Small Towns with Chinese Characteristics in 2017 was launched.

This survey report on the small towns with characteristics, produced by Xinhua Outlook Weekly, contains the most advanced practice cases and provides a sample for China's new urbanization construction in the new era.

Among the most innovative and influential cases selected in the report, many come from JC Group, which is a comprehensive modern urban development group.

With 59 projects of small towns with characteristics signed, constructed and operated nationwide, JC Group has the largest model library in the country, such as Tianmen Wonderland Town in Zhangjiajie, Miluo Poetry Chinese Town, Xuyi Lobster Town, Gaoyou Bright Town, etc. Each of small towns with characteristics has its own unique core industry as the basis for development, while providing rich supporting industries to inject vitality into the small town with characteristics.

Industry experts said that the development of small town with characteristics, including JC small towns with characteristics, has accumulated experiences for the construction of small towns with Chinese characteristics, but also provides train of thought for the future development of small towns with characteristics.
