城乡一体化可持续发展对实现亿万人民共同的“中国梦”具有重要意义。本书以江苏省为实证研究对象，以国内外相关理论与实践研究为基础，从系统论视角出发，将城乡作为一体化发展的两个子系统，在多视角、多层面剖析城乡差异及其构成的基础上，构建了复合系统发展度与协调度评价模型，从空间和时间角度评测了江苏省城乡一体化发展的历史演进，并根据分析结果提出推动城乡一体化可持续发展的对策与建议。由于江苏省是中国的经济发展强省，其城乡一体化发展水平在一定程度上能够代表国内城乡一体化发展现阶段能够达到的高度，而江苏省内苏南、苏中、苏北地区之间的发展差异在一定程度上可以代表中国东部、中部、西部的发展格局，因此，江苏省城乡一体化发展的演化规律及经验教训对中国其他地区城乡一体化发展具有一定的借鉴意义。本书采用多学科交叉的研究方法，将理论与实证相结合，历史与逻辑相统一，静态分析与动态分析交互进行，在横向对比与演化分析中发现各区域城乡一体化发展的“短板”，并从地区特点、资源禀赋以及发展重点等方面出发，探寻促进城乡要素流动、资源统筹、协调一体化发展的有效途径。研究内容主要包括:城乡一体化概念、内涵及目标任务的界定，江苏省各区域城乡经济、城乡居民收入、城乡教育水平发展差异性分析及不均衡分解，城乡一体化发展水平评价指标体系的构建与评测，城乡一体化发展对策与建议，等等。

The sustainable development of urban－rural integration plays an important role to the realization of our“Chinese dream”.In this book，we take Jiangsu Province as the empirical research object.Our research is based on domestic and foreign relevant theories and practice research.From the perspective of system theory，the urban and the rural is looked as two subsystems in the whole system.We analyze the differences between urban and rural areas from multi angles and multi levels.Then，we set up an evaluation model for the composite system basing on development degree and coordination degree.Employing the model，we study the historical evolution of urban－rural integration development in Jiangsu Province from the perspective of space and time，and put forward the countermeasures to promote the sustainable developmentof urban－rural integration according to the analysis results.As an economic developed province，the level of urban－rural integration development of Jiangsu can reflect the highest level of current stage in China.Meanwhile，the differences of development level among South－Jiangsu，Mid－Jiangsu and North－Jiangsu can represent the development pattern of the east，themiddle，and the west part of China.Therefore，the evolution law，experiences and lessons of the development of Jiangsu Province have referencemeanings for the development of other areas in China.We use interdisciplinary researchmethods in this book，and combining theory with practicalmethod，history and logic，static analysis and dynamic analysis，horizontal contrast and evolution analysis，to find the“short board”during the urban－rural integration development of different regions.Then，from regional characteristics，resources endowment and development focus，we explore the effectiveway to promote the flow of factors，resources integration and coordinating development.The research contentmainly includes:concept，connotation and tasks of urban－rural integration，differences and unbalanced decomposition of economy，income and education level between urban and rural areas in Jiangsu Province，construction and evaluation of urban－rural integration evaluation system，countermeasures and suggestions about the development of urban－rural integration.
