Abstract

The metaverse has opened up a new direction for urban governance, and Chinese cities in the key period of digital transformation urgently need to draw on foreign experiences. Based on policy feedback theory, this study takes Seoul, the first city in the world to enter the metaverse, as a case study to comprehensively analyze the construction logic and action strategies of metaverse city governance in Seoul. The study finds that the history of digital governance deeply influences the construction motivation, subject, content, and path elements of metaverse city governance in Seoul, forming a practice framework characterized by service development-oriented, multi-party co-construction, all-domain embedding, scientific planning, and support for local practices. Based on this, this study proposes policy implications for China’s metaverse city governance from the perspectives of the leadership of the Communist Party, people-centeredness, service development, and diverse co-construction, aiming to provide decision-making references for the future urban governance of China.
