KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 (Bernama) — Mayors and representatives from 24 cities in 15 countries and regions recently attended the Global Mayors Dialogue · Hangzhou and the ninth Hangzhou International Sister City Mayors Conference in Hangzhou.

According to the people’s government of Hangzhou in a statement, mayors from both domestic and international cities engaged in in-depth dialogues, sharing advanced experiences in urban governance and contributing their wisdom to promote global urban sustainable development.

Leveraging its rich historical and cultural heritage and thriving digital economy, Hangzhou showcases how an ancient yet modern city can coexist harmoniously, leading the way in global urban sustainable development trends.

The city’s mayor, Yao Gaoyuan vividly depicts Hangzhou’s characteristics as being suitable for living, business, and tourism, in addition to also sharing the exploration and practices of the city in areas such as digital innovation and urban governance, ecological civilisation and urban sustainable development, as well as cultural heritage and humanistic exchanges.

Furthermore, digital empowerment has boosted urban governance in Hangzhou, making the city smarter and its governance more efficient.

By constructing a digital city brain and utilising technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and advanced modelling, the city has achieved real-time monitoring and efficient scheduling of urban traffic that enable precise traffic guidance and effectively improve the intelligence and precision of urban governance.

Hangzhou is equally dedicated and sparing no effort when it comes to the preservation and inheritance of cultural heritage. Its economic development goes hand in hand with the preservation and prosperity of its culture, never losing sight of the city’s cultural essence.

As a city with a rich historical and cultural heritage, Hangzhou boasts three world cultural heritage sites. In 2011, the West Lake cultural landscape was inscribed on the list, while in 2014 and 2019, the Grand Canal of China and the Liangzhu Archaeological Site also earned the prestigious honour, respectively.

This year marks the 45th anniversary of Hangzhou’s establishment of its first international sister city relationship, and so far, Hangzhou has established friendly relations with 31 international sister cities and maintained friendly exchanges with 42 cities worldwide.

The eastern Chinese city looks forward to contributing more of its wisdom and solutions for the sustainable development of global cities and continuing to write a new chapter of brilliance in the future.
