Abstract：The advent of the digital-intelligent era is triggering a paradigm revolution in the holistic digital-intelligent transformation of smart cities. At present, China’s smart city development stands at a crucial historical juncture where four major trends intersect: the rapid evolution and breakthrough of digital-intelligent technologies, the pursuit of high-quality urban development, the all-out effort to consolidate the foundation for modernization, and the profound restructuring of the global political and economic landscape. How to advance the high-quality, holistic digital-intelligent transformation of smart cities has become an imperative issue to address for the modernization of urban governance. The digital-intelligent transformation is characterized by systematicness and ecologicality, which requires constructing a theoretical framework for a “digital-intelligent ecological city” supported by digital-intelligent theories, governance ecology theory, and the people-centered city theory. Taking people-centeredness as its logical starting point, the framework builds an integrated “physical sensing-human sensing” data perception system, develops generic supporting capabilities centered on the urban intelligent hub, and enables smart cities to form an operational mechanism of “self-perception, self-decision-making, self-execution, and self-optimization”. Practically, it is embodied in three key integrations: data integration, digital-intelligent integration, and digital-physical integration. On this basis, smart cities will transform from holistic digitalization to holistic digital-intelligentization, and embedded in the process of high-quality urban development, becoming a key path to support the construction of modern people-centered cities and advance the basic realization of socialist modernization.
