Urban power is a comprehensive concept that includes both hard and soft power. With the development of modern economy and society, the influence and role of soft power on urban development are becoming more and more prominent. Conceptually speaking, urban soft power includes urban social cohesion, cultural appeal, regional influence, science and education support, participation and coordination based on non-material elements such as urban culture, first-class services, residents' quality, and image communication.

To enhance the city's soft power, it is necessary to work hard to enhance the influence of civilization, service, talent support, cultural appeal and image communication. Enhancing the "soft power" of cities through the creation of civilized cities is a great creation of millions of people. The "two improvements" goal of "improving the quality of citizens and improving the degree of urban civilization" makes it clear that the focus of urban civilization construction is to enhance "soft power".

The "soft power" of the city is the spiritual and cultural force of urban development. It includes: urban politics (the role and efficiency, democracy and legalization), society (the harmony of different nationalities, groups of people, and strata, social welfare and social security, social equity and social stability), civic quality (citizens' education level, physical and mental health level, moral development) and international influence (the city's international status, international exchanges and exchanges).

Over the past 25 years of reform and opening up, compared with the achievements of China's urban "hard power", the development of "soft power" has seriously lagged behind. There is still a long way to go to build a capable, democratic, efficient and honest company. Improving the quality of citizens also requires long-term efforts.

The "soft power" of a city should not only have the city's economic, political and cultural achievements, but also the progress of citizens' mentality. The creation of a civilized city is to promote citizens to establish an open, international, and healthy mentality. These include the calmness of the public——— the ability to calmly face every victory or loss with a long-term vision; Enterprising——— believe that Chinese has the strength to draw the essence from the long-standing culture of the nation, be proactive and work hard; Inclusiveness ——— broad-mindedness, which should not only accommodate the ideology and culture of all nations in the world, learn from the strengths of others, but also deal with historical issues and international disputes with an inclusive attitude; Self-confidence——— in international exchanges and exchanges, maintain a neither humble nor arrogant mentality; Sense of responsibility——— a high sense of responsibility, dedication and initiative for international development and world peace.

The internal and external harmony of urban form, cultural demeanor, and citizen mentality gradually formed in the process of creating civilized cities in China's major cities, and the rigidity and softness of urban economic strength, development vitality, and cultural charm are becoming the driving force for enhancing the "soft and hard power" of China's cities and promoting the coordinated development of China's economy and society.

Enhancing soft power is of great significance to building a harmonious socialist society.

The socialist harmonious society to be built is a society characterized by democracy and rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and fraternity, vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature. To achieve this goal, we cannot fail to pay attention to the enhancement of soft power. Culture in soft power is the "glue" that promotes social harmony.

Vigorously developing advanced socialist culture and striving to enhance the scientific and cultural quality and ideological and moral level of the masses of the people are conducive to promoting harmony between people, between people and society, and between people and nature, and can also provide a strong driving force and create good conditions for the economic and social development of cities.

Enhancing soft power is also an objective need to enhance the competitiveness of cities.

Soft power and hard power together constitute the competitiveness of cities, and the two are mutually reinforcing and inextricably linked. Hard power is the carrier and foundation of soft power, and soft power is the soul and extension of hard power. Only when a city has strong soft power can it have the stamina for development.

Compared with the improvement of hard power, the improvement of soft power is more difficult.

Judging from the actual situation, to improve the soft power of the city, first, we should establish a corresponding assessment index system as soon as possible. Although the assessment of soft power is more complicated, as long as the ideology is attached importance and actively explored, the problem can always be solved. Second, stress should be avoided and impetuous, and practical results should be sought.

Improving soft power is a long-term process, and it is generally not easy to make "outstanding achievements" in the short term, so it is necessary to work hard without rushing for quick success, and pay attention to bit by bit accumulation rather than pursuing sensational effects.
