In order to observe different city trials driven by multi-dimensional forces, and to review their goals, gains and losses, we choose ten key words to show Chinese cities from 2015 to 2016. These words together with the problems behinds them, are not only the focus of 2015, but have a continuous influence afterwards. In the context of academy, the market, industry development and the mass media, our criteria is based on four issues: those raised by public or private authorities or people, those that form into trends, those show great importance and those influential in 2015. There is no such thing as the one and only true face of cities. We need to jump out of the framework of urban planning academic circle to understand what happened in 2015. Economic, social, cultural and environmental development of different cities are also taken into consideration.
