Geological conditions are complex in China, and China is one of the countries suffering most serious geological disasters in the world. With the implementation of the new urbanization planning, the geological disaster risk pattern will change. Based on the analysis of overall situation of national geo-disasters and new urbanization planning and the international development trend of science and technology of disaster prevention and mitigation, this paper proposes a series of suggestions in terms of promoting scientific and technological innovation, innovative geo-disaster survey and risk assessment, and strengthening risk management. These suggestions may enhance the quality and efficiency of geo-disaster prevention and risk mitigation, strengthen the capacity of technology support for geo-disaster risk mitigation, and reduce the geo-disaster risk during the process of new urbanization of China.
