The construction of digital government has become a new engine of Chinese path to modernization.The con-tradictory movement among digital technology,institutional ar-rangements,and organizational structure is reshaping digital gov-ernance solutions in regional and urban contexts through iterative interaction and coupling.Through the analysis of practical solu-tions such as the sand-box model,integration model,and man-agement-operation separation model,the reform of digital gov-ernment has gradually evolved from the first form of"institution-al control-organizational selection-technological adoption"to the second form of"institutional empowerment-organizational responsibility assignment-technological driving",and then e-volved to the third form of"institutional reshaping-organiza-tional compatibility-technological norms formation",spiraling and progressively merging into a continuous unity of three forms.In this dynamic evolution process,digital technology gradually shifts from instrumental value to normative value,re-configu-ring the public governance architecture in virtual spaces through virtual norms based on code and algorithms.
