Debate teams from Beijing and Tianjin 16 universities participated in the competition. It was the first inter-school debate competition with the theme of paying attention to the new urbanization process in China. The purpose of this debate competition is to lead young people to discuss with the urbanization of China as the carrier, to enhance the public's attention and literacy on planning science with a long-term perspective, and to take the media exchange in Industry-University-Research as the mission. Contestants are required to sit and talk like traditional debates, but also to quote academic papers and statistical bulletins to think deeply about social issues and enhance the quality and awareness of the times of young people.
The whole competition is spread to the public and reported by multiple platforms at the same time. Young debaters in colleges and universities have launched intense and professional discussions around various hot spots of new urbanization, such as urban spatial boundaries, traffic planning and construction, reconstruction of villages in cities, green cities and construction of humanistic cities, in an effort to show young people's discussion style and promote new urbanization concepts to the public.
