In the context of globalization and informatization,urban operations and lifestyles are experiencing a 24/7 cycle,leading to the emergence of the concept of the 24-hour city.This paper first explores the concept,development history,and promotion strategies of the 24-hour city.By tracing the four stages of 24-hour city development,it reveals that its essence has shifted from simply promoting nighttime economy to considering social equity.Secondly,taking London,New York,and Tokyo as examples,it analyzes the major roles and characteristics of economic,political,and cultural forces in driving the operation of 24-hour cities,and summarizes key measures such as optimizing spatial utilization,strengthening transportation support,improving nighttime lighting,and refining management systems,as well as the challenges faced.Lastly,the paper proposes that Chinese cities should implement a 24-hour city strategy oriented towards equity and demand.This involves improving top-level design,integrating temporal and spatial resources,introducing multi-stakeholder collaborative governance,and exploring flexible management approaches.
