In the early 1990s, China stepped into the stage of rapid urbanization with a flourishing economy and new technological development. Surplus labor from rural areas flooded into cities and became the main force of urban development. However some severe threats to human survival emerged from urbanization, such as over- extensive urban development, excessive resource consumption, ecological degradation, food security and safety risks and social crises. It has become an imperative to balance urban and rural development to achieve greater harmony between nature and society. This paper firstly tried to focus on public dietary change, agricultural industry development, institutional guarantee, ecological restoration, as wel as cultural tourism in urban and peri-urban ag-ricultural heritage sites. Then, it established a development model, balanced the urbanization and urban-supported agriculture. This paper proposed “Agricultural heritage systems” as an entry point for balancing the development of urban areas and rural areas. Agricultural heritage systems can inherit local traditional culture, keep the green and organic agriculture cultivation systems, exploit the distinct landscape tourism, and the like for diversified develop-ment; In addition, agricultural heritage systems can take ful advantage of abundant funds, firm the institutional guarantee and advanced technologies from the nearby urban complex for regurgitation-feeding of rural enterprises. With the help of these strategies, we can achieve the harmony of “Ecological Urban” and “Garden Countryside”.%20世纪90年代初中国进入快速城镇化阶段，农村大量剩余劳动力进城务工，成为城市建设的主力军，中国经济得以高速发展，居民收入不断提高。然而城镇化也带来了城市粗放式发展、资源过度消耗、生态环境严重破损、粮食食品安全、社会秩序混乱等关乎人类生存的严峻挑战，寻找城市与农村平衡发展，人类与自然的和谐共存已经成为制约中国经济发展的瓶颈。本文通过对公众饮食结构的调整、农业产业发展模式的转变、社会保障制度的建设以及文化旅游消费偏好等方面进行分析，努力探索农村支持城市与城市反哺农村之间的均衡发展模式。文章提出了以农业文化遗产为切入口的城市支持农业发展模式，认为农业文化遗产地传统文化的传承、绿色农产品的生产和遗产地特色景观旅游等都是农村对城市发展的弥补；另外，利用城市充足的资金支持、成熟的制度保障以及现代的科技支撑，对农村地区进行“反哺”，最终一定可以达到城市生态化、乡村田园化的和谐。
