“依法治国,建设社会主义法治国家”作为治理国家的基本方略已经载入宪法。在推进社会主义法治建设的过程中,推进城市法治建设尤其具有十分重要的意义。法治城市的基本要素在于作为治理方式的法治的实现和作为城市精神的法治的塑造,建设法治城市关键在于依靠其本源--社会主义司法制度的完善和发展。 The basic principle of “governing the country by law and building a socialist country ruled by law” has been incorporated into the Constitution. In promoting the construction of the socialist legal system, promoting the construction of the rule of law in cities is of particular importance. The basic element of a city ruled by law lies in the realization of the rule of law as a mode of governance and in shaping the rule of law as an urban spirit. The key to building a city ruled by law lies in the improvement and development of the socialist judicial system.
