Abstract: 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.

Key words: urban philosophy, “Metromarxism”, spatial dialectics, practice of China's Road
