Deeply Understanding the Significance of Shanghai Entering a New Stage of Development and Comprehensively Promoting Urban Digital Transformation

Comprehensively promoting digital transformation is a key move to shape the city's core competitiveness for the future. Digitalization is changing human society in an irreversible trend, and the COVID-19 epidemic in particular has further accelerated the full arrival of the digital age. Digitalization is increasingly becoming the core driving force for economic and social development, profoundly changing the global organization of production and trade structure, redefining productivity and production relations, and comprehensively reshaping urban governance models and lifestyles. As data resources become increasingly prominent as leading, functional, and key elements in linking domestic and international dual cycles, comprehensively promoting urban digital transformation has become an important strategy for Shanghai to actively serve the new development pattern.


Comprehensively promoting digital transformation is a necessary requirement for the modernization of the governance system and governance capacity of megacities. As a megacity, Shanghai has a large population, large traffic flow, and dense functions, and has the characteristics of a complex giant system. The construction, development, operation, and governance of the city are intertwined and complex, and it is necessary to fully use digital methods to explore new paths for social governance in megacities and respond to people's new expectations for a better life. Shanghai has focused on promoting "one-stop access" for government services and "one-network management" for urban operations, accelerating the construction of a new type of smart city, vigorously developing the online new economy, and building first-class digital infrastructure, laying a solid foundation for the city's digital transformation. In the face of new opportunities and challenges in the new development stage, we must recognize the situation, seize opportunities, and take advantage of the momentum, firmly grasp this major strategic issue of urban digital transformation that is related to the overall situation and long-term development, further enhance determination and urgency, adhere to overall transformation, all-round empowerment, and revolutionary reshaping, and make every effort to do a good job in comprehensively promoting urban digital transformation, striving to create new miracles in Shanghai's development in the new era.
