Abstract Digital fabrication technologies, such as 3D printing and CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, are spearheading a transformative shift in urban development across China. This movement is underpinned by robust governmental support and attractive financial incentives, which are pivotal in fostering innovation within the realms of construction and architectural design. The integration of these cutting-edge technologies is poised to redefine conventional construction methodologies, promising unprecedented levels of efficiency and precision. This evolution extends beyond mere construction efficiency; it is instrumental in the emergence of smart cities, enhancing urban services and infrastructures and advancing sustainability goals. The deployment of digital fabrication techniques signifies a pivotal moment in China's urbanization journey, ushering in a new epoch where the dynamics of urban construction and design are fundamentally altered. This paradigm shift is anticipated to have profound implications for the future of urban development, offering exciting opportunities for innovation and sustainability. With digital fabrication at the helm, China is navigating towards a future where urban environments are not only more efficiently constructed but are also more responsive to the evolving needs and aspirations of their inhabitants. The result is a promising horizon for urban development, where the fusion of technology, sustainability, and smart urban planning paves the way for cities that are not only more livable but also emblematic of future-forward thinking and environmental stewardship. © 2024
