Abstract

With the advent of the digital age, the urban ecology and development models of the world's major international metropolises are facing new opportunities and challenges. Beijing and Shanghai, two major centers of international exchange in China, each have their own urban development advantages and constraints. Both cities have enhanced their respective international communication capabilities and international development strategies. This study compares the internationalization development paths of the two cities through empirical and policy analysis in order to inform urban construction and urban public administration. It strives to identify and summarize the general laws of the internationalization development of Chinese cities through this comparative study.
