Features: The essence of urbanization is modernization. As China's urbanization process accelerates, the establishment of urban modernization indicator systems has become increasingly important. This book discusses the basic connotations of urban modernization from ten aspects: urban residents, economy, infrastructure, society, lifestyle, culture, education, ecology, politics, and government modernization. It focuses on exploring how to measure the modernization of these aspects more scientifically using assessment indicators. Combining theoretical analysis, the book also cites cases of internationally renowned cities such as New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. The exploration in this book not only has academic value but also serves as the starting point for considering all urban development issues. Its target readers include not only urban decision-makers and administrators, as well as practitioners in relevant urban departments, but also university teachers, students, and researchers in sociology and modernization studies, as well as all individuals concerned with urban development issues.
