The current global development pattern is undergoing a deep adjustment, and cities, as the core carriers of human production and life, are facing multiple challenges. The slowdown in economic growth has put cities under dual pressure of fiscal tightening and rising demand for public services; Frequent extreme weather events have subjected urban infrastructure and social operations to unprecedented stress tests; New technologies such as artificial intelligence are accelerating their penetration, and urban governance models are facing disruptive impacts. In this context, innovation driven and resilient construction has become a breakthrough strategy - "innovation" not only refers to the application of emerging technologies, but also to the systematic innovation of governance mechanisms, policy tools, and institutional design; Resilience is not only a passive defense against crises, but also a continuous system engineering of proactive adaptation and transformational development.
The 2026 International Conference on Public Management, Urban Planning, and Social Development (PMUPSD 2026) aims to build an interdisciplinary and cross-border high-end academic exchange platform, focusing on core issues such as public management theory and governance innovation, urban planning and spatial development, social development and policy innovation. It brings together experts, scholars, and policy practitioners in global public management, urban planning, sociology, and related fields to jointly explore the path of future oriented urban governance and sustainable development.
