| Summary/Abstract |
This article tracks recent policy developments of urban–rural dibao coordination, analyses different local strategies and discusses future directions that could help maximise its policy impact. Local strategies for integrating urban–rural dibao lines range from the most advanced full unification to partial unification and narrowing of the urban–rural gap, and to other practices such as focusing on specific population groups and raising the rural and urban dibao lines that correspond to external criteria. Future efforts will be needed to address the continued challenges rooted in the uneven development and limited coordination across localities in order to achieve greater unification in urban and rural dibao.
