Mechanism Evolution and Construction Strategies of Slow Cities Under Localization

In recent years， Chinese towns have actively engaged in the international "Slow City Movement"， seeking development directions and guidance. However， after over a decade of localization， China's slow cities have evolved distinct operational concepts and modes that differ from their Western counterparts， making it necessary to systematically examine and analyze these differences. Taking this as the starting point， this paper clarified the connotation of the "Slow City" concept and reviewed the development of the "Slow City Movement". Through an analysis of Western slow city cases， it summarized the renewal approaches and development modes of the Western slow city movement. Subsequently， by comparing the construction methods and development patterns of Chinese slow city cases， it identified the fundamental differences between Chinese and Western slow cities. Finally， it proposed strategies to mitigate these deviations in planning and construction， aiming to provide references and insights for the future development of slow cities in China.
