Abstract

This paper aims to explore the logic of institutional innovation in the process of integrating urban and rural development and analyze its theoretical significance in promoting the integration and eliminating the development gap between urban and rural areas. Through literature review and theoretical analysis, this paper first clarifies the core concept of urban-rural integration development and its important position in national development strategies. Secondly, based on institutional change theory, it analyzes the driving role of institutional innovation in urban-rural integration development and its possible path choices. In the research process, we review the existing policy frameworks for urban and rural development, revealing the potential mechanisms of institutional innovation in addressing issues such as uneven resource allocation and differential public services in urban and rural areas. Through comparative analysis, different types of institutional innovation are identified as key factors, including policy coordination, adjustment of legal frameworks, and the introduction of mechanisms for social participation. The conclusion points out that institutional innovation requires not only top-down design but also feedback from grassroots practices to form an innovative path that combines top-down and bottom-up approaches. This paper proposes that future urban-rural policies should pay more attention to the flexibility and adaptability of institutions to support diverse models of urban-rural integration development. Ultimately, this paper provides theoretical references for policymakers, aiming to achieve coordinated urban-rural development and promote comprehensive social progress through institutional innovation.
