Features: Currently, China's urbanization is entering a period of rapid development, with the impacts of marketization, globalization, and high-tech waves intensifying wave after wave. However, due to traditional urban planning theories and technologies constrained by the planned economy model, the behavior of urban governments, as well as blind urban expansion and transformation activities, many problems have emerged alongside the rapid urbanization in China. This book focuses on summarizing the experiences of urbanization at home and abroad, particularly the lessons from failures, and emphasizes the pressing issues that need to be addressed during the urbanization process. Starting from both practical experiences and theoretical summaries in urban planning, construction, and management, it attempts to provide preliminary solutions to these problems, aiming to serve as a stepping stone for further discussion.
