Abstract
In recent years, with the rapid growth of industrialization and IT building, cities have been expanding rapidly and have become functionally diversified, complex and all-inclusive systems. At the 2015 Central Urban Work Conference, it was pointed out that since the beginning of reform and opening up, China had experienced the largest and fast-moving urbanization process in global history. By 2015, China had an urban population of 771.16 million and an urbanization rate of 56.1%, higher than the global average by about 1.2% points. In the spectacular urbanization process, urban issues such as environmental pollution, traffic congestion, tight housing supply, and unemployment have become increasingly prominent due to unbalanced and inadequate development. Fulfilling the goal of “better city, better life” is the greatest challenge facing modern cities.
