Abstract

Against the backdrop of the "artificial intelligence" era, this study sets the mechanism of action between new types of productive forces and the construction of modern innovative cities as its core theme. It systematically explores this topic in conjunction with domestic differentiated design, international comparisons, identification of real-world challenges, and practical solution paths. This exploration is of significant practical importance for promoting high-quality urban development and fostering new momentum through intelligent transformation. Notably, different regions in China display significant disparities in nurturing new productive forces. For example, the eastern region needs to strengthen original innovation and global resource integration, while the central and western regions should focus on industrial absorption and green transformation. By comparing international innovation models such as Silicon Valley in the United States, Industry 4.0 in Germany, and Tokyo in Japan, and examining both positive and negative cases, this study offers insights into how China can cultivate new productive forces and effectively promote urban innovation. Furthermore, addressing the real challenges in the development of new productive forces, it is recommended to strengthen the role of technological innovation as the source of initiatives, build a modern industrial system, create hubs for high-level talent aggregation, and deepen institutional reforms. These measures provide theoretical support and policy reference for overcoming bottlenecks in the development of new productive forces and stimulating the vitality of modern innovative cities.
