At the night of December 31, 2014, a tragic stampede incident happened in Chen Yi Square on Shanghai's Bund. ANBOUND research team thinks that this incident should stimulate contemplations of all spheres in China. While we are rapidly developing economy and expanding city hardware, we are lagging, even far, behind in the aspect of "software" of city management. We have stacked up a great deal of cities by using GDP and real estate, but it is totally new as to how to manage a city. How to coordinate various sectors, such as transportation, travel, culture, media, safety, community precaution and early warning and monitoring, so as to genuinely improve a people-oriented city? City administrators need to recognize its gap with its international counterparts in this regard and seriously sort out their thinking.
