Abstract

From the perspective and subject division or classification system of higher education of China, urban science and urban management is categorized under the discipline of Management Science and Engineering or Public Business Management in China’s higher education teaching and research system, graduates majoring in urban science and especially urban management are generally awarded a bachelor's degree in management. However, from the perspective of actual work, urban management must be supported by corresponding engineering technologies, information technologies, etc., and it cannot be solely handled by management discipline knowledge. City encompasses a broad and complex system that integrates physical, human, and administrative components, representing a convergence of natural sciences, social sciences, management sciences, and technological sciences. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the systemic characteristics of cities, this paper explores the multidimensional nature of urban supervision and emergency management. This paper adopts a multi-technology and multi-scenario approach to reverse-engineer professional development requirements in line with the demands of modern urban governance of China. This paper establishes a multi-level educational objective system for urban science and its applied branches, introduces the concept of resilience maintenance tailored to urban science and management teaching framework.
