Features: During the period of rapid economic development and social transformation, various contradictions in urban and urban management in China have intertwined and become evident, exerting heavy pressure on economic development, social stability, and urban management, while also testing the wisdom of urban managers and the administrative capacity of city governments. Overly simplistic isolated thinking and single-targeted campaign-style rectification can only accumulate conflicts and trigger social conflicts. Systematic thinking, institutionalized solutions, and scientific governance are the inherent requirements of modern urban management and also the qualities of urban managers. This book analyzes prominent issues in China's urban development and urban renewal, such as the lack of fairness, low efficiency, and the tendency toward homogenization in urban management. By combining similar phenomena encountered and effective solutions in the urbanization processes of developed countries, it proposes corresponding countermeasures.
