Abstract

The chapter delves into the transformative journey of Chinese urbanization, shifting from traditional industrial models to green urbanization, driven by the need for sustainable development and improved living environments. It highlights the strategic challenges faced in the post-pandemic era, emphasizing the importance of eco-cities in achieving green transformation and ecological civilization. The text explores the evolution of urbanization models, the role of digital innovation in promoting green urbanization, and the global trend of eco-city development. A key focus is the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City (SSTEC) as a case study, examining its planning, design, and implementation of humanistic principles. The chapter also discusses the theoretical frameworks and methodologies used to analyze the people-place interactive relationship, aiming to bridge the gap between global conceptual theories and Chinese practical applications. It concludes with insights into the future of eco-city development, emphasizing the need for a humanistic approach to urban planning and design.
