Research on the Path for New-Type Undergraduate Universities to Serve Urban- Rural Integration in the Context of the Digital Economy

Abstract

Against the background that digital technologies have fully penetrated all sectors of the economy and society, the digital economy has become the core engine driving urban-rural integrated development. As a key link connecting higher education resources and regional development needs, new-type undergraduate universities are playing an increasingly prominent role and value in serving urban-rural integration. Based on the internal logical connection between the digital economy and urban-rural integration, combined with the school-running orientation of new-type undergraduate universities, application-oriented, industry-oriented and local-oriented, this paper analyzes the opportunities and challenges brought by the digital economy to urban-rural integration, discusses the core advantages and practical dilemmas of new-type undergraduate universities in serving the flow of urban-rural factors, industrial upgrading and equalization of public services, and finally constructs a practical path for new-type undergraduate universities to serve urban-rural integration from four dimensions: talent training, scientific research innovation, social services and governance collaboration. It provides theoretical references and practical experience for promoting high-quality integrated development of urban and rural areas.
