Urbanization has become one of the most important social processes in China, which helped the country gain a powerful economic potential based on the accelerated industrialization. Social-economic development is impossible without the expansion of cities and their populations. Until recently, cities have been centers for developing human capital and ensuring economic growth. However, urbanization has negative consequences as it leads to an outflow of workforce from rural areas, thus threating their social development. To confront such a threat, the Chinese government introduced a new type of urbanization for the simultaneous revival of rural areas. These two national strategies may seem opposite in terms of goals and objectives: the first stategy aims at developing cities and improving urban living conditions; the second strategy aims at developing rural infrastructure; but both strategies have a common goal - to ensure social modernization with Chinese specificity, which implies harmonious development and urban-rural balance. The article aims at identifying social, managerial and economic features of the new urbanization policy in China as a two-pronged strategy of the simultaneous development of urban and rural areas. The implementation of this new type of urbanization is to solve a number of problems of internal migration, since peasants who have not managed to arrange their lives in the city cannot return to the countryside for different reasons. Local authorities of both cities and villages struggle to increase the size of their population, which determines conflicts and ineffective management decisions in many Chinese regions. In many cases, there is a clear discrepancy between the interests of society as a whole and the interests of regional administrative bodies implementing social-economic policies. China needs to solve these problems to ensure sustainable urban development while improving living conditions in rural areas.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">С момента начала эпохи реформ и политики открытости в Китае прошло уже более сорока лет, и миллионы крестьян переселились в города. Именно урбанизации и ускоренная индустриализация обеспечили экономическую мощь современного Китая. Социально-экономическое развитие невозможно без расширения городов и роста их населения, поэтому до последнего времени города были центрами наращивания человеческого капитала и формировали потенциал экономического роста во всех странах мира. Однако урбанизация имеет и негативные последствия - она ведет к оттоку трудовых ресурсов из сельских регионов, создавая тем самым угрозу для их социального развития. Осознавая эту угрозу, китайское правительство взяло курс на реализацию урбанизации нового типа - при одновременном возрождении сельских территорий. Казалось бы, две эти национальные стратегии противоположны по своим задачам: первая стратегия направлена на развитие городов и улучшение условий жизни в них, вторая - на совершенствование инфраструктуры сел и деревень. Однако в действительности обе стратегии имеют единую цель - продвижение модели социально-экономической модернизации с выраженной китайской спецификой, которая требует достижения социального баланса между городом и селом. Цель статьи - обозначить принципиальные социальные, управленческие и экономические особенности политики новой урбанизации в Китае как двуединой стратегии, предполагающей одновременное развитие городских и сельских территорий. Данная стратегия - урбанизации нового типа - призвана решить ряд возникших ранее проблем внутренней миграции, обусловленных тем, что крестьяне, не сумевшие наладить свою жизнь в городе, не могут вернуться в деревню по целому ряду причин, в том числе потому, что не могут вернуть себе выплаты, полагающиеся сельским жителям. Местные власти городов и сел борются за увеличение численности населения на своих территориях, что приводит к конфликтам и неэффективному управлению на местах. Во многих случаях наблюдается явное несовпадение интересов общества и административных органов, реализующих социально-экономическую политику в регионах. Решение перечисленных проблем позволит обеспечить устойчивое сельско-городское развитие за счет одновременного улучшения условий жизни в селах и городах, тем самым гарантируя социальную стабильность в стране.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>urbanization</kwd><kwd>rural revival</kwd><kwd>city</kwd><kwd>village</kwd><kwd>rural areas</kwd><kwd>social policy</kwd><kwd>new urbanization</kwd><kwd>China</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>урбанизация</kwd><kwd>возрождение сельских территорий</kwd><kwd>город</kwd><kwd>село</kwd><kwd>социальная политика</kwd><kwd>новая урбанизация</kwd><kwd>Китай</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Cai Jimin.
