BEIJING , Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from China.org.cn on Xiong'an:
Across many of the world's languages, the word for "civilization" shares a common origin. Whether it is the English civilization, the French civilisation or the Spanish civilización, each traces its roots to the Latin word civitas, meaning "city." This is no accident. Cities are the finest expression of civilization, embracing diversity and renewing themselves without end. As we look back at the past and ahead to the future, the very definition of the city has been reshaped. No longer merely a cold jungle of steel and concrete, the city is becoming a way of life, a vessel that makes life better.
