President Xi Jinping outlined a comprehensive roadmap for China's urban development during the Central Urban Work Conference in Beijing this week, emphasizing innovation, sustainability, and equitable growth. The two-day event brought together top Chinese leadership, including Premier Li Qiang and other members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, to chart the course for modernizing cities nationwide.
In his keynote address, Xi stressed the need to prioritize green infrastructure, smart city technologies, and improved living standards. The conference highlighted plans to optimize urban spatial layouts, enhance disaster resilience, and preserve cultural heritage within rapidly developing metropolitan areas.
The discussions align with China's broader goals of achieving high-quality development while addressing challenges posed by urbanization. Analysts suggest these policies could create new opportunities in sustainable construction, digital infrastructure, and urban services across the Chinese mainland.
