Pathways for Green Governance and Legalization in Mega-Cities

Abstract

The realization of China's style of modernization relies on the high-quality development of cities, which represents the modernization of megacity governance, with the fundamental goal of enhancing the well-being of the population. The ecological governance of megacities encompasses the entire process from urban planning to design to renewal in the temporal dimension, and in the spatial dimension, it covers the entire economic, social, and ecological landscape. Summarizing the environmental governance experiences in domestic megacities, deepening the fundamental paradigm of ecological governance focusing on energy conservation, emissions reduction, mutual assistance, sharing, and the empowerment of the digital economy, and using the green principles established by the Civil Code as guidance to prevent risks and address challenges, ultimately explores a universally applicable new path for green governance in megacities.
