Operation Logic,Obstacles and Deconstruction of Agile Governance in Urban Communities:A Framework Based on Structure-Process-Function Analysis
Given the high population density and complex demands of urban communities,traditional governance modes face issues such as fragmented governance actors,inward-focused governance structuresand a lack of value leadership functions.Agile governance boasts flexibility,rapid decision-making and action,continuous innovation and improvementand the promotion of teamwork and communication.Applying agile governance to urban community management is highly compatible,as it emphasizes resident participation and cooperation,focuses on swiftly adapting to changing demands,advocates innovation and efficiency,relies on data-driven decision-makingand balances technology with humanitarian care.Therefore,from the perspective of agile governance,a"structure-process-function"analytical framework is constructed to explore the operational logic of agile governance in urban communities.The study finds that agile governance in urban communities helps to achieve holistic smart governance,sensitive responses,and a people-centered approach.However,urban community agile governance currently faces barriers such as role dysfunction at the structural level,inefficiency and irregularities in governance processesand the erosion of emotional connections in governance functions.Hence,the deconstruction of these barriers should emphasize structural multi-coordination,agile efficiency in processesand emotional connectivity in functions to promote high-quality agile governance development in urban communities.
