Abstract:Whether the culture of emerging cities contributes to innovation does not necessarily depend on their history. What matters more are the population structure, economic type, cultural pattern of the community and the resulting open attitude toward new things. Immigrant community provides social basis for Shenzhen culture. In only 30-plus years, Shenzhen has worked miracles in economic and social development and urbanization. One important reason for Shenzhen’s success lies in the fact that it has developed an innovative, open, and inclusive culture characterized by publicity, rights, rule of law, markets, technology, efficiency and pragmatism. The market, society and public policies work together, which constitutes an important mechanism for Shenzhen’s immigration culture to take shape. To promote development of emerging cities, we should step up guidance in core values, reinforce cultural adjustment, and construct a culture in line with sodalist market economy.
