1. Maintain the uniqueness of the "characteristics" of the town.

The characteristics of characteristic towns lie in "characteristics", its charm lies in "characteristics" and its vitality lies in "characteristics". Therefore, maintaining the distinctiveness of the "characteristics" of cities and towns is the first principle of building characteristic cities and towns.

1) maintain distinctive regional characteristics.

Chongming has complete rivers, lakes and seas and rich water resources. The construction of characteristic towns should reflect the regional characteristics of "water town".

2) Maintain distinctive industrial characteristics.

Chongming is flat, fertile and rich in agriculture, forestry and fishery resources. The construction of characteristic towns combines the local industrial advantages, and strives to cultivate pillar industries, such as agriculture, forestry or fishing, to form their own characteristic industries.

3) Maintain distinct ecological characteristics.

Dense ecological forest, developed ecological agricultural base, green industrial system, ecological modern urban transportation system and low-carbon lifestyle determine that the construction of characteristic towns must conform to the construction goal of "modern ecological island" and maintain its distinctive ecological characteristics. For example, the concept of "ecology" is injected into environmental design, architectural design, resource utilization and protection, and circular economy.

4) Keep the style unique.

Small towns with different locations, different modes and different functions, whether hardware facilities or software construction, need to match their industrial characteristics, one town and one style, without duplication or convergence, to ensure the uniqueness of characteristics.

2. Keep the originality and vividness of local culture.

Local culture is the core of "small town culture" and one of the most attractive elements of a small town. A small town with only a shell and no vivid local cultural connotation is difficult to have vitality.

The so-called "authenticity" and "vividness" refer to the interpretation of the cultural traditions of small towns with unique social and ecological elements such as natural features, living customs and human production and labor. Chongming is rich in local culture, such as spinning, weaving, steamed cakes, wrapping jiaozi and other living cultures, folk culture such as homespun clothing display, traditional wedding ceremony, game culture such as pushing iron rings and walking on stilts, and so on. As long as you are good at development and utilization, you will definitely make the town exude attractive fragrance.

3. Combine with industrial development.

Many successful experiences at home and abroad tell us that the construction of characteristic towns must be considered in combination with industrial planning, so as to maintain the lasting prosperity of towns. At present, the decline of the functions of many small towns in Chongming is a negative example.

The functional orientation of Chongming Ecological Island limits the development space of many industries. Because of this, it is more important to choose and cultivate an industry suitable for the development of the town itself. A dynamic industry can gather popularity, attract people, logistics and capital flow, promote employment and prosper the market at the same time.

To build a characteristic town in Chongming, it is necessary to combine the development of agriculture, fishery, forestry, commerce and catering services with comprehensive planning, select industries suitable for the development direction of the town, and gradually develop into a strong support for the development of the town.

4. Give the town the function of eco-tourism.

Compared with traditional towns, the distinctive feature of characteristic towns is that they do not simply exist as a form of living, but are also a valuable cultural tourism resource and a place for trade, leisure and vacation.

Therefore, from roads, traffic, environment and architectural features, to functional layout and various facilities, from leisure and entertainment to catering business, everything should be carefully built from the concept of building an eco-tourism town, so that eco-tourism and modern service industry will become one of the industries on which the town depends and provide a steady stream of economic income for the development of the town.

5. Insist on improving people's livelihood as the foothold and destination of the construction of characteristic towns.

The construction of characteristic towns is not unconventional or a performance project, and its fundamental purpose is to improve people's livelihood. Therefore, the construction of small towns should not only embody modernization and ecology, but also embody humanization. The development model of small towns should not only serve the overall situation of eco-island construction, but also benefit people's lives.

Because characteristic towns generally choose to stay away from the existing bustling towns, road traffic, commercial facilities, cultural and entertainment facilities and other infrastructure. Must obey the humanized design.

Only by taking improving people's life as the starting point and destination of building a characteristic town can we reflect the real value of building a town and create a modern ecological treasure island where man and nature live in harmony.

Second, the functional orientation and suitable construction form of characteristic towns.

Functional orientation: Sexiao Town will adapt to the development trend of the big leisure era, and build a comprehensive, multifunctional and multi-format small-scale tourist area and ecological residential area according to the inherent requirements of improving Chongming's resource quality and tourism brand and cultivating strategic pillar industries. Focus on "three functions": ecological living function, tourism and holiday function, and industrial cultivation function.

Appropriate construction form: According to the industrial distribution and population distribution characteristics of Chongming, according to the functional division, there are two main mainstream models of Chongming's most potential towns in the future: the trinity model of residential life-eco-tourism-industrial development and the "post station" model of leisure, business and holiday.

The former, with unique folk houses, public buildings and supporting characteristic trade industries as the "shell", takes characteristic folk culture and life culture as the core, supplemented by the comprehensive utilization of surrounding characteristic tourism resources (natural resources, characteristic agriculture, characteristic fishery, etc.). ), and with the support of characteristic industries with regional characteristics, it forms a characteristic style full of life breath, and folk culture, tourism culture and industrial culture blend with each other and develop harmoniously.

The latter takes characteristic buildings with colorful ecological elements (such as antique national buildings or unique European buildings) as its "nest", attracting all kinds of characteristic operators (such as business, business, sports, entertainment and holiday hotels, restaurants and bars) and some wealthy people to "settle in" the town, making it a "post station" for special activities such as public leisure, entertainment, vacation and business.

The two models have their own emphasis, but they are not completely absolute, and can be appropriately integrated as needed.

Third, the construction of characteristic towns.
