In November 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Pudong's development and opening up: "Cities are places where people live in concentration, and urban construction must put the people's livability and living in the first place, and leave the best resources to the people." It is necessary to adhere to the main position of the broad masses of the people in urban construction and development, and explore the road of super-city development with Chinese characteristics, embodying the characteristics of the times, and highlighting the advantages of China's socialist system. ”
Cities, especially modern and international metropolises, are warm harbors and brilliant stages for the realization of all-round human development. Shanghai is a glorious city and a place where miracles are constantly witnessed. Nowadays, the majority of party members and cadres in Shanghai are committed to practicing the original mission, leading the people to adhere to the principle of integrity and innovation, playing the symphony of the glorious city belonging to the people, serving the people, and achieving the people, and issuing a strong voice of the era of urban governance with the theme of promoting high-quality development, so that the important concept of "people's city" reflects the beautiful future of the glorious city.

The 370-meter-high Xujiahui Center is under intense construction, and the 220-meter-high T1 tower, which has been structurally capped, is also on display, and behind the construction site of the center has "hidden" a "low-lying land" for urban governance for many years. Built in the 1980s, Leshan Community has a total of 6458 households, and when the population density is at its highest, the per capita living area is less than 5 square meters, the hardware is inherently insufficient, the environment is chaotic, and the management is lacking.
Improve people's livelihood and well-being, respond to the concerns of the masses, and alleviate people's difficulties and worries. In recent years, Based on the positioning of a first-class central urban area of a modern international metropolis, Xuhui District has established integrated governance such as resident volunteer service and conference hall, and the Leshan community has "changed its old appearance and new appearance" from the inside to the outside, and the satisfaction and participation of the masses have been significantly improved.

Explore a new chapter in urban governance
The important concept of "People's City" is extremely rich in politics, ideology, era and practice. The people's city is built by the people, which deeply stimulates the fundamental driving force of urban development; the people's city is for the people, and the fundamental purpose of urban governance is deeply expounded; the people's city is loved by the people, and the fundamental belonging of the urban vision is deeply expressed. How to deeply implement the important concept of "people's city" and make a strong voice in the era of urban governance, the research team has several thoughts:
People's nature. The important concept of "people's city" lies first and foremost in the people's nature, which is embodied in the process of urban development for the people, relying on the people, and serving the people; it is embodied in the benign interaction and wonderful process of the city making the people's life better and the people making the city better. This is the spiritual essence of the important concept of "People's City".
Integrity. It is embodied in the party's leadership over all aspects of urban planning, construction and governance, so as to effectively form an urban ecology in which the party's leadership forces, social pluralistic participation, and all parties coexist harmoniously. Urban governance is comprehensive, and a grass-roots governance pattern of vertical integration, horizontal integration, and diversified participation should be built, and through various channels such as party building leadership, mechanism reform, and technical platform, it should penetrate the upper and lower governance levels, and vertical and horizontal governance elements.
Granularity. It is necessary to be good at using modern scientific and technological means to achieve intelligence, and to improve the level of refinement through embroidery-like care, patience and ingenuity, and embroider the quality brand of the city. Fine governance is the pursuit of aesthetic, precise, convenient, efficient, humane and other values. Therefore, the fine governance of the city should see things, see things, and more importantly, see people, and comprehensively use multi-dimensional forces such as concepts, spaces, policies, technologies, and laws to promote the fine and exquisite urban governance.
Scientific. The urban grassroots governance system should be set up in accordance with the actual economic and social development conditions, and ensure the coordinated operation of the internal, so as to provide professional support for the process of social governance. Reform the indicator system, assessment methods, etc., to form an institutional mechanism that is consistent with "rights, responsibilities and benefits". At the same time, encourage and guide grassroots social governance to innovate and optimize platforms and mechanisms, and create a number of replicable models of party building leading grassroots governance, such as the "three sessions" system and "red property".
functionality. The community is the "valve" and "base" for dealing with various public safety risks. The modern urban grassroots social governance system should have the ability to respond quickly and efficiently to emergencies and public safety risks, and lead the smooth operation of the governance system mechanism through a sound and powerful party building leading system: an intelligent network that accurately perceives rapid response, a high-quality and professional talent team, a complete and efficient basic public service system, a grassroots public security system that combines peacetime and wartime and switches freely, and a harmonious, orderly and vibrant social community, so as to achieve high-energy docking of public risk management.
The in-depth implementation of the important concept of "People's City" is inseparable from reliable organizational guarantees. It is necessary to thoroughly implement the general requirements of party building in the new era, adhere to the requirements of combining strict management with generous love, and attaching equal importance to incentives and constraints, explore the combination of promoting high-quality development, and introduce an assessment and evaluation index system for practicing the important concept of "people's city", so as to stimulate party members and cadres in the new era to be loyal and clean.
