人民城市理念下中国城市高质量发展内在逻辑与实践历程的再审视OACHSSCD

The deficiency of Marxist theoretical frameworks in urban high-quality development research has precipitated a scholarly tendency to reductively interpret China's urban practices through an oversimplified,abstract,and ambiguously defined"people-centered development"paradigm.Systematically clarifying the inherent logical principles and practical trajectories of urban excellence under the people-city concept paradigm constitutes not only a foundational prerequisite for comprehensively advancing institutional reforms in urban development but also a critical mechanism for dispelling multifarious misconceptions and reinforcing the cohesive function of socialist ideology. This study establishes a tripartite analytical framework based on Marx's social development evaluation theory,examining the inherent logical principles of urban high-quality development under the people-city concept paradigm through three dimensions:normative analysis of theoretical imperatives,historical positivism of empirical actualities,and dialectical synthesis of practical necessities.This approach historically clarifies conceptual ambiguities in implementing people-city concept while establishing foundational logical principles for institutional reforms in socialist urban governance. The study finds that the essence of evaluating high-quality urban development under the people-city concept lies in human development.However,this neither treats people as tools for capital proliferation nor discusses human development in isolation from productive forces.Instead,it insists on the unification of historical and value dimensions.On the one hand,it explicitly distinguishes the"people"as concrete historical agents rather than abstract entities,recognizing the dynamic evolution of their core interests across temporal contexts.Failure to contextualize these material interests risks theoretical obfuscation,where abstract conceptions of public welfare mask either underdeveloped productive forces or the hegemony of capital logic.On the other hand,while acknowledging the instrumental role of productivity enhancement through reform and opening-up policies alongside socialist market economy development,the study resists technological determinism by reaffirming the people's agential centrality in shaping urban transformation.The historical achievements in urban quality development ultimately derive from collective human agency,necessitating balanced valuation of productive forces without absolutizing their role.Consequently,the historical and value dimensions of urban development demonstrate contingent rather than absolute unity across different eras.Their dialectical integration requires adherence to the"Two-Point Theory"(holistic contradiction analysis)and"Key-Point Theory"(prioritization of principal contradictions).Notably,the new era has witnessed the people-city concept actualizing the harmonious convergence of these dual dimensions in China's urban praxis,marking a paradigm shift in developmental epistemology. As an interdisciplinary frontier research hotspot,the multifaceted interpretations of high-quality urban development from diverse disciplinary perspectives have led to a contested theoretical conceptualization of this paradigm.This paper innovatively applies the people-city concept through the lens of Marx's theory of social development evaluation,proposing that the essence of high-quality urban development under this paradigm lies in achieving dialectical unity between historical and value dimensions,thereby overcoming prevalent theoretical misconceptions.Furthermore,through systematic analysis of extensive empirical data and policy texts,it elucidates the inherent logic governing the implementation of the people-city concept across different historical periods.This approach establishes a novel theoretical framework for understanding China's evolving practices in high-quality urban development.
