Urban soil pollution has been posing a great risk to urban eco-environmental sustainability and people health. Its control and management has turned out to be a new problem in our environmental management. In the paper, comparison was made between China and the USA in urban soil pollution control and management system. Such problems as the control and management of urban soil pollution lagging behind the control and management of urban atmosphere and water pollution, lack of a special law system for soil pollution prevention, absence of industrial guides for soil environmental impact assessment and standards for soil pollution assessment, nontransparency of information about soil pollution, poor consciousness of public participation in soil pollution control, and shortage of knowledge of how to identify soil pollutants and accurate determine degrees of contamination and amounts of the pollutants, and how to define the liability of polluters and raise soil pollution disposition funds, were considered to be the main weaknesses in urban soil pollution control and management. And some suggestions were presented for improvement in the aspects of institutional framework, legislation and policy, technological means and identification of economic liability for control of urban soil pollution.
