Multi-party collaboration,multi-level transmission,up-and-down integration:Exploration of urban and rural community development planning in Chengdu
In order to strengthen the construction of community governance system and respond to the people's yearning for a better life,the Chengdu Municipal Government has introduced a series of community governance policies since 2012,coordinating the urban and rural communities of the whole city into a unified development planning framework,comprehensively coordinating the development and governance of urban and rural communities,so as to explore the governance path of mega cities.Through investigation and research,three major problems in urban and rural communities in Chengdu have been identified.Human,material,and financial development resources are extremely scarce,community managers have a low level of education,the supporting and service level of community public service facilities is insufficient,and the project funds used for construction are far from sufficient.The top-level design is missing,and some specialized plans are scattered among departments such as planning,civil affairs,and the National Development and Reform Commission,lacking horizontal coordination and unable to provide differentiated guidance for community development.The interaction between the top and bottom is not very sufficient,the government is too responsible for grassroots community affairs,the relationship between the"troika"(neighborhood committees,property management company and owners'committees are known as the"troika"of the community)of community governance is unclear,the willingness and ability of residents to participate in community affairs are low,and there are not enough respondents to public activities.In order to solve the above three major community problems,Chengdu is exploring governance innovation in three aspects.Firstly,through multi-party collaboration,from the perspective of community resources,integrate talent,space,and funds into the framework of community development planning,and coordinate the utilization of community resources.Talent Team-Selecting key members at the top to establish a community development governance committee,establishing a talent flow mechanism for outstanding members of the two committees to enter the civil service system at the grassroots level,promoting the"trinity"community planner system,and establish a public creative group.Hardware construction-building a three-level"community complex",with business formats divided into 8 major categories and 116 subcategories,exploring market assisted operation methods.Financial security-exploring three strategies of"open source,cost saving,and improving usage efficiency".Secondly,through multi-level transmission,explore the transmission mechanism from macro to micro,scientifically classify urban and rural communities,and use principal component+cluster analysis method to divide the entire city's communities into eight community development groups:"core urban area,central urban area,urban fringe area,new urban area,Linpan area,high-quality agricultural area,comprehensive upgrading area,and nature reserve".Identify the characteristics of community development groups through 25 indicators that reflect the current status and potential of community development.Develop differentiated action guidelines for grassroots community governance,and construct ten action menus of"jobs-housing,travel,service,leisure,party building,neighborhood,inclusiveness,culture,co-construction,and sustainable development",transmit the construction requirements and evaluation standards of the city's"five major communities"to the community governance actions of districts(cities),counties and streets(towns).Finally,in terms of top and bottom integration,introduce resident participation at different stages of community governance policy formulation,program design,and implementation evaluation,explore the institutional innovation of the"trinity"community planner.The mentor team is mainly responsible for the connection between community development direction and macro strategy,and regularly provides professional training for community planners and creative groups.The planner is mainly responsible for solving the problem of"planning into residential areas",and is responsible for updating the design of community public spaces and implementing projects.Members of the"public creative group"conduct regular visits to collect residents'needs and inform"planners"to help them choose update projects and develop update strategies.By implementing a"trinity"participation system,we can bridge the gap between top-level design and grassroots governance.The community development issues in megacities go far beyond the content of material space planning.It is necessary to further explore the complex policy,economic,and cultural background of urban and rural society behind spatial renewal,use top-level design to guide the action logic of departmental collaboration and grassroots governance,and explore methods and implementation paths for residents to participate in community planning.This article proposes"Chengdu Experience and Innovation Exploration",hoping to provide valuable experience for community governance in China's megacities.
