In 2020，the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic has become an important task of China’s urban social governance. Chinese urban social governance has withstood major tests，and efforts have been made to achieve strong urban population control，effective urban community authority mobilization，urban social mentality adjustments，urban public service provision，and urban social structure differentiation. In this process，some problems and shortcomings in urban social governance have also been exposed：the endogenous strength of urban communities is still insufficiently developed，the urban public health emergency system still has shortcomings，urban technological governance still has digital information islands，and urban planning and the development model urgently needs to be transformed. To promote urban social governance in the post-epidemic era，efforts must be made to strengthen the construction of people’s cities，resilient cities，rule-of-law cities，and smart cities to better reflect the nature of cities as a product of human nature.
