It provides a detailed examination of the development trends, achievements, and existing issues in this field, and a profound understanding of the urgency and necessity of nurturing new ideas to guide cities out of their \"ecological paradox\". It also summarizes the formation and development, challenges, and missions of American cities centered around the core image of the \"City Without Walls\".\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShen Hou\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor in the Department of History at Peking University, Beijing, China.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLi Ruitian\u003c\/strong\u003e, PhD, currently a lecturer at Xi’an International Studies University, holds translation and interpreting certificates from NAATI (Australia) and CATTI (China).
