Community-Level Governance Through Party Building:A New Framework for Estate Management in Urban Residential Communities
Resident autonomy through multi-party negotiation is widely adopted in the estate management of ur-ban residential communities.In practice,resident councils are organized and estate management companies are hired to manage on behalf of all the residents.Such a governance mode of urban residential communities brings problems though.Community-level governance through Party building emphasizes the"meta-governance"func-tion of Party organizations at the primary level,optimizes the autonomy ability of estate owners and resident councils,and relies substantially on the rule of law,and is therefore suitable for the estate management of urban residential communities.Community-level governance through Party leadership can help reflect on the nature of urban governance and better understand China's governance framework that combines Party leadership,people's ownership,and law-based governance.
