 note = {China's rapid economic growth since the 1978 reforms has resulted in not only significant economic, social and environmental change, but also wider disparities between eastern and western China, between urban and rural, and among individuals. Establishing autonomy of the local communities is an effective approach to decrease the disparity. This paper examines the case of Chengdu’s Five Golden Flowers, and searches to identify the advantages of adopting a sustainable development approach to establish local autonomy to develop business and/or industry. Two kinds of dominant business manners are introduced as essential strategies. The outcome of Five Golden Flowers is analyzed in terms of social and economic efficiency to evaluate the effectiveness of this regional development project, which caused a remarkable reduction of the disparity between the urban and rural area in this region. The role of the government in the rural development is defined here in terms of six criteria and three dimensions to demonstrate the relationship between the government and local businesses.},
