Features: Against the backdrop of economic globalization, competition among cities is becoming increasingly fierce. Studying the issue of human capital investment in enhancing urban competitiveness holds significant theoretical and practical implications. This book takes the mechanism of human capital investment's impact on urban competitiveness as its main thread, establishes an urban competitiveness analysis framework based on value and return growth, constructs a "six-factor" analysis model for human capital investment, designs a measurement index system for urban competitiveness and human capital investment, and proposes institutional arrangements and recommendations for urban human capital investment. This research deepens the study of urban competitiveness issues and also makes new explorations in the application of human capital theory in economic and management practices.
