Abstract

As an integral part of the city’s public cultural construction, city study is increasingly becoming a spatial carrier of city culture and plays an important role in promoting the city’s cultural branding. The concept of China’s city study was first proposed in 2014 in the city of Wenzhou, which is a new thing. There are not many research results on city study, and they mainly focus on the development mode and specific construction of city study, and research linking city study to city cultural branding is even rarer. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to take the “Two Better” City study in Xinyang, one of the top ten livable cities in China and the capital of Mao Jian as an example, analyze the development process and specific characteristics of the “two better” city study in Xinyang through literature and field investigation, explore the role and influence of city study in the construction of city cultural brand, and put forward some suggestions and thoughts. The results of the study found that city study contributes to the enhancement of the city’s cultural brand by improving residents’ reading ability, promoting social harmony, and shaping the city’s image.
