Approved as a pilot zone for the national urban-rural integration, the western area of Chongqing includes nine districts. All of them are located in the main metropolitan area. They're also situated in the interior of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle and have advantages in geographical location, economic strength, and development foundation. So when it comes to urban-rural integration, they can play a leading and exploratory role, they can achieve more results through innovation. The leading and exploratory role should be given into full play with the overall landscape in mind. To establish these "testing grounds" in some places, China aims to explore urban-rural integration, encourage exploration and bold practice, accumulate more replicable and promotable experience and practice, and move forward with reform in broader areas.
