一座城市就是一本书，每个人读它都会有自己的感受。 　　 在以全球为背景下，关于城市竞争力的研究越来越深入的态势已经成为不争的事实。新经济和全球化使经济主体之间的竞争空前激烈和广泛，如何应对新经济和全球化带来的机遇、挑战和竞争，提升竞争力已经成了所有经济决策者的共识。 　　 有谁又能想象，当中国要用几十年的时间走完西方上百年的城市化进程的时候，将会有多少风险与挑战，多少世纪之迷等待着世人去破解？于是，时下的中国，最热门、最富有挑战性，也是最有风险的话题恐怕莫过于“城市经营”了。 　　 中国的城市经营不仅仅是一个前沿的理论课题，更需要第一手的实践与思考；不仅仅是一个各种观点交锋的舞台，更是一个迫在眉睫、亟待人们去探索的现实命题；不仅仅需要国际化的视野，更需要来自本土的切身行动与突破。 　　 我相信，中际国际城市发展研究院将用自己的方法和理论平台来归纳、提炼和梳理城市经营的最新实践与思考。尽管难免有不完善之处，如果我们的作用能起到实际的借鉴作用，让更多的城市少走弯路，或者在日益激烈的城市竞争中，能尽快找到自身发展的突破口，走出一条符合规律的可持续发展之路，将是我们莫大的欣慰和喜悦。 中国城市战略网执行总监、中际国际城市发展研究院院长 The president makes a speech ： A city is a book, different people have different feelings while they are “reading”the city .  Take the whole world as the bank ground, the deepened research about the city competitive ability is becoming an irrefutable fact, the new economic and the global-shared in formation make the competition is more popular, and the wide among the comparers, How to deal with the challenges, the chances and the competition which was brought by the new economics and the globalization is becoming the established principles which was accepted by all the economic policymaker. Who can image that our China only spend several ten years to complete the urbanization process that was done by the west country, they spent almost a hundred years, how many risks and challenges we will come across,how many puzzles are waiting for us to cope with,Therefore, the most challenge, hot and risk question right now in China may be “the city management.”  The city management of China is not only a forward position theoretical question, it need practiced and careful consideration at the beginning; It is not a stage which is mixed with various opinions, it is a actual topic that need explore extremely urgent and near, it not only need an internationalization field of vision, but also require the hard practice which is made by themselves.
