In China, the construction of a new countryside necessitates the successful implementation of strategic goals that are in line with recent urbanization and the integration of urban—rural development. As a typical site of urban—rural integration planning, the Chengdu-Chongqing region has become the “Overall Urban-Rural Comprehensive Matched Reform Experimental Zone”. In line with this aim, this study proposes the “Urban-Rural-Field-Garden” planning mode that is suitable for the construction and development of the new suburban countryside in the Chengdu-Chongqing region. We base our analysis on the current state, problems, and the requirement for new urbanization and integrated urban—rural development . We then analyzed the constitutional content, function, organization, layout, form, and guarantee mechanism of the proposed mode. Finally, we determined the general applicability of the proposed model given the construction areas of the new countryside, which differ in terms of dominating type, to provide references for the determination of a suitable mode for new countryside construction in other Chinese regions.
