“…Under the guidance of the two strategies of new urbanization and rural revitalization, the factors between urban and rural areas have changed from "one-way flow" to "bilateral interaction", and China’s urban and rural development policies have changed from "urban bias" to "bilateral interaction" [ 23 ]. Specifically, the NUP can alleviate the pressure brought about by the over-concentration of large cities by promoting the local urbanization of rural residents and focusing on the absorption of rural employment by small towns in order to promote balanced regional development and balanced development of urban and rural areas [ 24 ], and the income gap between urban and rural areas can be further narrowed [ 25 ].…”

The development of urbanization has brought new challenges to the ecological environment, and the promotion of green technology innovation and development is widely recognized as an essential method to achieve cities’ economic benefits and environmental protection. This paper examines whether the new urbanization pilot policies (NUP) increase green technology innovation (GTI) from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. This paper examines the impact of new urbanization on GTI by analyzing data from 285 cities in China between 2010 and 2021, using the multi-period DID model with the implementation of NUP as an exogenous policy shock. The study results indicate that NUP significantly affects GTI, and the conclusion still holds after the parallel trend test, placebo test, and other robustness tests. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the NUP significantly enhances GTI in low environmental pollution, non-resource-based, Medium-sized, and Central Region cities. The test of moderating effect shows that NUP has a "linkage effect" with the government’s environmental attention, financial investment in innovation, and regional talent pooling. The findings of this paper provide empirical evidence and decision-making reference for promoting NUP and sustainable development of cities.

“…At present, the urban-rural gap and innovation are important research themes of new urbanization. For instance, by using the difference-in-difference model and the mediating effect model, Liu et al [51] found that new urbanization can significantly reduce the urban-rural gap, and that the effect varies, depending on place and time. Chi et al [52] also discussed the convergence path of the urban-rural income gap in the process of new urbanization.…”

“…New urbanization can also accelerate the flow of factors and promote the effective allocation of factors between urban and rural areas. Therefore, new urbanization can narrow the urban-rural income gap and promote rural development [51]. In addition, in the process of promoting the construction of new urbanization, the development of regional industries will also affect the spiritual life of local residents and promote urban residents to carry out rural tourism and return excellent talents to their hometowns [78].…”

The development and integration of industries have promoted economic growth and gradually become an important perspective to understand the country’s modernized construction. The cultural industry and the tourism industry are naturally coupled, which is an important part of the process of industrial integration. In addition, the country’s drive towards modernization needs to improve the overall level of industrial integration, and rural revitalization is one of the key links to this. Therefore, to explore the relationship between the integration of cultural tourism industry and rural revitalization, this study collected the panel data of 31 provincial-level regions in China from 2005 to 2021. Based on the entropy method and the coupling coordination degree model, this study constructs an evaluation index system, including cultural industry, tourism industry, the integration of cultural tourism industry, new urbanization, and rural revitalization, and obtains the comprehensive scores of each. Furthermore, the study discusses the path selection and future development direction of rural revitalization through the integration of a cultural tourism industry. The conclusions are drawn as follows: (1) The development of the cultural and tourism industries can significantly promote the development of new urbanization and rural revitalization; (2) the integration of cultural tourism industry has a positive effect on rural revitalization; (3) new urbanization plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between the integration of cultural tourism industry and rural revitalization; (4) new urbanization has a masking effect on the influence of the integration of cultural tourism industry on rural revitalization; and (5) the extent of these effects varies by region. Finally, this study not only deepens the understanding of rural revitalization from the perspective of industrial development and integration, but also provides an empirical basis for the country, local governments, and enterprises to promote rural revitalization.

“…China's economy has entered a "high-quality development stage". High-quality development is sustainable development with good economic and social benefits, high resource-allocation efficiency, low environmental protection costs, and full flow of production factors [68]. The high-quality development of the tourism economy must include innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and shared development.…”

“…In summary, the empirical results support Hypothesis 3 (H3) of this study. This means the integration of urban and rural areas is conducive to optimizing the urban-rural structure and improving the living standards of rural residents [68], which could be leveraged to increase the incomes of low-income groups [56]. Affected by the income levels of residents, residents' tourism-consumption demand leads to the upgrading of tourism-product supply and empowers the high-quality development of the tourism economy [69].…”

Urban–rural integration has become an effective way to promote the high-quality development of the tourism economy in China’s policy evolution. Based on provincial panel data for China for the last ten years, this paper measured the high-quality-development level of the tourism economy based on multi-dimensional indicators, including by empirically analyzing the influence mechanisms in urban–rural integration. We found that urban–rural integration has a positive empowering effect on the high-quality development of the tourism economy as a whole, with the integration of urban and rural areas in the central and eastern regions playing a considerable role; however, its role in the western region is not obvious. This was shown through an analysis of the mediating effect by which urban–rural integration empowers the high-quality development of the tourism economy by improving residents’ income levels. However, urban–rural integration does not empower the high-quality development of the tourism economy through technological innovation, which instead has a covering effect. This paper makes suggestions on three levels: country, region, and enterprise. Firstly, at the national level, we suggest strengthening the overall planning for the high-quality development of the tourism economy, as well as improving its construction system. Secondly, at the regional level, governments at all levels should emphasize the functional differences between urban and rural areas and regional characteristics. Finally, at the enterprise level, enterprises in the western region should seize the opportunities provided by urban–rural integration.
