全球化时代不仅强烈要求马克思主义哲学关注城市问题，而且需要建立一种以城市社会为主体的"城市马克思主义"哲学研究范式。该范式不仅要有现代性的政治经济学批判总体历史视野，而且要具备良好的人文精神底蕴与丰富的辩证想象力。这种想象力表现为一种空间辩证法。詹姆逊与列斐伏尔以各自的方式为我们提供了一种方法论典范，并由此推动了一种都市的新辩证唯物主义哲学。当代中国城市社会发展正处于全球资本支配的空间生产、社会主义国家的现代化治理与人民对美好生活的向往等多种主题共时交错的空间矛盾格局中，"城市马克思主义"所面临的最重要的问题之一是如何扎根于中国传统文化智慧与当代地方性实践经验知识，让居民诗意地栖居于现代都市社会。

In the globalized urban era, Marxist philosophy is not only strongly required to pay attention to urban issues, but also to establish a philosophical research paradigm of "Metromarxism" with urban society as its main body. This paradigm should not only include a general historical perspective of modern critique of political economics, but also have a good humanistic spirit and rich dialectical imagination, which is manifested as a kind of spatial dialectics. F.Jameson and H.Lefebvre have provided us with a methodological model in their respective ways, and thus promoted a new philosophy of urban dialectical materialism. Contemporary China's urban social development is in the pattern of spatial contradiction, in which spatial production dominated by global capital, socialist countries' modernization governance, and people's yearning for a better life are intertwined. One of the most important problems facing "Metromarxism" is how to take root in Chinese traditional cultural wisdom and contemporary local practical experience and knowledge, so as to enable residents to live poetically in modern urban society.
