This book is one of the first efforts to systematically introduce digital urban governance in China. It describes the theoretical system and historical development and evolution of digital urban governance, analyzes the complex relationship between cutting-edge technologies, new types of data, and urban governance, provides rich research cases to guide governance practice, and further discusses the future opportunities and potential challenges of digital urban governance from the perspective of artificial intelligence and open data movement. This book helps to promote the transformation and upgrading of urban governance research paradigms and can also actively serve the major national and local strategies in China, such as new urbanization, digital China, and digital reform.

This book provides a data-driven analysis of shared micromobility in China. Both bike-sharing and e-bike-sharing are considered and several Chinese cities (e.g., Shanghai and Hangzhou) are selected as study cases. It adopts a variety of methods including GIS, big data analytics, social network analysis and machine learning, to support the analysis. The research topics cover travel characteristics of shared micromobility, external impacts of shared micromobility (e.g., the environmental and equity impacts and the relationship with 15-minute cities) and the planning issues of e-fences and bike lanes. This book is an invaluable read for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in urban and transport planning, travel behaviour and shared micromobility. It can also be used by urban geographers, transport researchers, and general readers interested in the area of shared micromobility in China.
