MEGACITY,CITIZEN RIGHTS,AND DEVELOPING COUNTRY:RETHINKING THE NATURE OF PEOPLE'S CITY
Construction of a People's City is a response to how urban governance can meet people's aspiration for a better life,reflecting the principle of putting people first in cities.Currently,theories on urban development have systematically discussed issues,such as the public value of cities and problems associated with urban development.Nevertheless,there is still no clear explanation on the complex governance of megacities and how it responds to people's needs based on the attribute of"people".The construction of a People's City and the response to people's needs are fundamentally related to the distribution of urban rights.Therefore,based on the theory of urban rights,it is possible to clarify the nature of"people"in the process of building a People's City.Furthermore,an analysis based on specific governance scenarios can reveal the common needs of people in the city,namely,street prosperity,hustle and bustle,offline gatherings,accessibility,and emotional resonance.The proposal and realization of these needs provide another perspective for urban development and governance in China,which may contribute to more vibrant cities for the people.
