Abstract:
Suburban fusion villages, defined by their ’semi-urban yet not fully urbanized, rural yet not entirely traditional’ characteristics, act as pivotal platforms for optimizing urban-rural structural order and coordinating functional layouts. They have emerged as frontier zones for integrated urban-rural development. However, current practices encounter challenges including fragmented planning, disjointed construction management, and multiheaded governance. The disconnect among planning-construction-governance(PCG) processes exposes contradictions and systemic limitations in village-level territorial spatial planning, underscoring a lack of cohesive, integrated operational governance. This gap necessitates urgent exploration of novel integration pathways. This paper presents an empirical analysis of suburban fusion village planning in Liujiafan Community, Changlinhe Town, Feidong County, Hefei City, Anhui Province. Grounded in the transition from a dual urban-rural structure toward integrated urban-rural development, it proposes an integrated PCG development framework and practical paradigm.In the context of planning systems, technical tools evolve into regulatory frameworks that emphasize dynamic coordination through multi-level planning. Regarding construction components, holistic content integration is prioritized, with systematic progress achieved through parallel project implementation to operationalize integrated development. At the governance level, single-actor opportunism is supplanted by a multi-stakeholder governance model engaging governments, local communities, and market entities. Throughout the process, reciprocal negotiations facilitated by institutional platforms and policy-backed funding mechanisms ensure the optimization of collaborative synergies.
