Low-altitude economy is an important representative of China's new productive forces and a new engine of economic growth. However, its characteristics of high-tech dominance and multi-industry integration pose a challenge to the traditional centralized and unified central legislation model. In this context, local legislative practice plays a key role in the first exploration. This paper systematically reviews the development context and local practice of China's low-altitude economic legal norms, analyzes the actual demand for the supply of local legal system, and points out the core dilemmas it faces in balancing development and security, coordinating central and local governments, giving consideration to local characteristics and regional coordination, defining the boundary between government and market, and matching supply and demand. Through the examination of these problems, this paper puts forward four improvement paths: first, to enhance the level and standardization of legal norms and strengthen the vertical connection between the central and local governments; second, to coordinate local characteristics and regional coordinated development and break down institutional barriers; The third is to establish a "public-private partnership" regulatory model with multi-subject participation, which integrates government regulation and industry self-discipline; the fourth is to promote public participation in response to market demand and achieve a balance between supply and demand of low-altitude resources. The research shows that the innovative and adaptable practice of local rule of law is an indispensable key link in the construction of the legal system of low-altitude economy with Chinese characteristics.
