Scientific and technological innovation is a new engine of urban development. While providing intelligent governance tools, it also forms a gap in urban governance and intensifies the governance process uncertainty. We try in this article to unify the relationship between the two from the aspects of national strategy implementation, industrial transformation and upgrading, urban governance tools update, technological innovation process and results. Under the logical framework of people-orientedinnovation-coordination, we propose to change government functions, highlight subject demonstration and guidance, strengthen social supervision, clarify the positioning and responsibility of each subject in urban governance, and adhere to the stability, security and humanity of urban society. On this basis, we put forward specific requirements on key issues such as the path to urban governance goals, boundaries of intelligent tools, provision of urban public services, and dynamic supervision of governance processes. We also pay attention to the combination of the rule of law and the rule of virtue to perfect and innovate the institutional mechanism of urban governance.
