Abstract Since the inception of People’s Republic of China， urban development has witnessed significant advancements that have attracted worldwide attention， fully underscoring the efficacy of the socialist system. In essence， there are eight primary accomplishments： swift urbanization has culminated in the world’s most extensive population transfer and a monumental milestone in the history of human development； China’s economy， after an arduous journey spanning decades， has ascended to the world’s second largest economy； the construction of urban infrastructure has made great progress， becoming a crucial foundation for urban development and ensuring optimal living conditions for urban residents； notable progress has been realized in urban public services， offering vital support for urban expansion； the urban ecological environment has been protected effectively， and the quality of the ecological environment has been significantly improved； urban cultural construction has achieved fruitful outcomes， and urban culture has flourished； fundamental changes have taken place in urban life， life quality has been remarkably improved and the residents’ feeling of happiness has increased continuously； people’s health level has seen a steady rise， along with the rise in average life expectancy. After extensive exploration and practice， urban development in China has evolved a distinctive path， providing Chinese experience for global urbanization. The four most salient aspects of this experience are： first， the steadfast adherence to the correct leadership of the Party， which serves as the fundamental assurance for urban development； second， the adherence to the people-first and people-oriented urban development concept； third， with the scientific development as a guiding principle， the enhancement of the leading role of urban planning and development strategies； fourth， the adoption of an urban development model that prioritizes infrastructure construction. In the new era， urban development in China confronts both new challenges and opportunities. At this pivotal historical juncture， it is imperative to remain closely aligned with the overall goal of comprehensively building a modern socialist country in an all-round way， persistently promote urban development， and strive to realize the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
