Technical management in municipal engineering is crucial for urban development. While it encompasses core elements, it faces bottlenecks such as a lack of standardization. To address this, it is necessary to build a whole-process quality management system, innovate safety risk prevention and control mechanisms, and develop smart construction site management systems, among other measures. At the same time, different municipal projects have specific technical management priorities. The level of technical management should be enhanced through standardization, digitalization, greening, and intelligent management.
