"The modernization of the governance system and governance capabilities is an important topic in the new era, and one of the most exciting contents of the 'Governance of Foshan' list is to focus on the town street." On December 15th, as one of the series of activities of the 4th Nandu Think Tank Product Release Week, the "Rule of Foshan" Urban Governance List and the Nandu Foshan Brand Upgrade Conference were held in Foshan. Wang Shifu, deputy dean and professor of the School of Architecture of South China University of Technology and doctoral supervisor, delivered a keynote speech with the theme of "Understanding and Prospect of the Governance of Foshan in the New Era" with the keywords of "diversity" and "synergy".
Wang Shifu said that the pearl river delta cities represented by Foshan are particularly important subjects of the township economy. In the era of the Greater Bay Area, we can ask questions through the "rule of Foshan": when the town streets form a synergy and the five districts are more effectively coordinated, can Foshan be more powerful, assume more development and innovation functions in the Greater Bay Area, and have a new form of future city with more imagination?
In this regard, Wang Shifu said that he expects the list to be able to further stimulate the bottom-up strength of the town street under the overall coordination of foshan and the two levels of the urban area, especially to provide more data reference for strengthening the guidance of regional coordinated development. "Two sentences understand the significance of the rule of Foshan, the urban area responds to the Greater Bay Area, and the vitality of the town enters a new era."
"Foshan is a city with a long history, it has been very rich since the era of agricultural civilization, it is the hometown of fish and rice, there are Sanji fish ponds, and it is almost the most brilliant representative of agricultural civilization in the Pearl River Delta. In the era of industrial civilization, Foshan is also very powerful, and Foshan's manufacturing industry has occupied a place in the world. Wang Shifu said in the keynote speech, "But Foshan is not satisfied with being a world factory, we want the world's manufacturing city, what is the distance between the world's factory and the world's manufacturing city, it may be the distance between governance capabilities, the distance of economic vitality, and the distance of industrial innovation." ”
"Now Foshan has entered a new era of development, which is highly related to social governance." As an observer of urban development, Wang Shifu said bluntly that he very much hopes that under the guidance of this new era and new goals, the modernization of the governance system and governance capabilities can make Foshan go better. "Media Think Tank brings thought and discussion through such a visual list, and I would like to pay tribute to it."
Wang Shifu said that from the perspective of media think tanks, the "Rule of Foshan" verified various indicators such as government service capabilities, the overall vitality of town streets and a number of individual indicators, and also achieved the purpose of supervision. The "Foshan Wisdom" initiated by the media think tank is a very important force for the improvement of the government's governance ability, and this force continues, and when it accumulates a number of volumes, or several years of data, it can also discover more laws of urban development.
Stemming from "governance", the first key word shared by Wang Shifu is: pluralism.
"The first is pluralistic subjects, including 'top-down' and 'bottom-up.'" I think this is probably the most inclusive era of human public policy or management so far. That is to say, the time has come when the bottom-up force has a relatively large weight. ”
In this pluralistic subject, the second key word of governance is: synergy.
At the recent 13th Party Congress of Foshan, Foshan released several major messages, including "five leaps and 15 bellwethers", the development pattern of "central, east, west, south and north", and the paired development model of "south + three" and "shun + high".
"In terms of exploring the modernization of the governance system and governance capabilities, the Foshan Municipal Party Congress has released positive signals and developed wisdom." Wang Shifu said that from a top-down point of view, the governance system takes the city as the main body. When Foshan was building a new spatial planning system, there was already a preliminary consensus on development.
In terms of bottom-up, Wang Shifu believes that the most exciting content of the "Rule of Foshan" list is to focus on the dimension of town streets. The Pearl River Delta cities represented by Foshan, its particularly important main body is the township economy, "how to fully exert the vitality and innovation of the town streets from the bottom up, several indicators in the report have a very good assessment." ”
It is worth looking forward to how Foshan will not only exert the strength and wisdom of municipal overall planning, but also mobilize the energy of the district level, and give full play to the advantages of Chancheng in the first good district under the twinning development of south + three and shun + high two, and further stimulate the bottom-up power of the town street under the overall coordination of the two levels of the urban area, especially to provide more third-party references for strengthening the guidance of regional coordinated development.
"I think the 'rule of Foshan' may be the perfect 'handshake point' for urban development 'bottom-up' and 'top-down'." Wang Shifu said.
