The process of globalization has brought about increasingly close connections among economy, culture, and technology, making talent a core element in promoting national and urban competitiveness. The important role of human resources in urban development is becoming increasingly prominent. This paper proposes that, amid urban transformation, human resources, built-up space and industrial system are the core factors for the success of urban renaissance and talent competitiveness is a fundamental pillar. Taking Malm?, a traditional industrial city in Sweden, as a concrete case, this paper adopts the research methods of literature research, field survey and data analysis to sort out the urban renaissance development process of Malm? after the 1990s from the perspective of talent competition and summarizes its urban renaissance strategy oriented to talent agglomeration. It then puts forward some strategies for China’s industrial cities facing the challenges of transitional development, which is to attract quality talents in the surrounding areas by improving regional transportation, to cultivate new local talents by enhancing the role of colleges and universities, to provide quality living environment for talents through urban renewal. Ultimately, by enhancing the competitiveness of talents, it will lay down a solid foundation of human resources for industrial upgrading and urban transformation, and realize the benign interaction and cycling among the three elements of human resources, built-up space and industrial system, as well as sustainable urban renaissance and development.
