Listening to opinions by inviting public representatives to participate in government meetings is an important means to comprehensively promote the openness of government affairs and improve the level of scientific and democratic decision-making, and it is also an important starting point for promoting the modernization of the governance system and governance capacity. On July 22, Ma Jianhong, director of the Shanghai Municipal Emergency Bureau, presided over a meeting of the director's office and invited three public representatives to attend the review of the "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Resilient and Safe Cities in Shanghai (Draft)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions (Draft)").
Jin Ying, deputy secretary of the Party branch and director of the Community Health Service Center of Dapuqiao Street, Huangpu District, believes that the "Opinions (Draft)" put forward many specific measures in strengthening safety publicity and education, building a multi-party community emergency response mechanism, and building a safety governance community where everyone is responsible, everyone is responsible, and everyone enjoys, which reflects the characteristics and advantages of Shanghai, and has an important practical guiding role in improving the safety literacy of the public.
Huang Hongwei, member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, director of the Shanghai Institute of Disaster Prevention and Relief, professor of the Department of Underground Architecture and Engineering of the School of Civil Engineering of Tongji University, and international joint research center for resilient infrastructure of Tongji University, believes that the "Opinions (Draft)" focuses on the safety blockages, difficulties and pain points in the operation of Shanghai's megacity, and focuses on the "three insistences", solves the "four major problems" and strengthens the "five highlights", which is of great practical significance for building Shanghai's urban resilience and security system.
Yin Xiaobei, a researcher at urban risk management at Tongji University, suggested that the "Opinions (Draft)" pointed out the direction, refined the tasks, and strengthened the integration, hoping to increase the publicity and implementation of the "Opinions (Draft)" and promote the implementation of tasks and projects.
Ma Jianhong listened carefully to the speeches of the public representatives and said that the representatives put forward good suggestions from different levels in combination with their own research fields and work practices, and the leading departments should seriously organize research and fully adopt and absorb them after the meeting. Regarding the formulation of the "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of a Resilient and Safe City in Shanghai", the meeting pointed out that as a major administrative decision-making matter of the municipal government in 2024, in the drafting process, it is necessary to unify the strengthening of top-level design and insistence on asking the people to improve the scientificity and feasibility of the "Opinions", so as to provide direction and guidance for comprehensively promoting the construction of a resilient and safe city in Shanghai. It is necessary to take the formulation and promulgation of the "Opinions" as an opportunity to further improve the comprehensive prevention and control system of resilient and safe cities with the participation of all parties, improve the hidden danger investigation and rectification system with prevention first, improve the intelligent and precise safety governance system, form a new paradigm of safety development with Shanghai characteristics, and escort the construction of the "five centers" with high-level safety.
Expanding public participation in the process of major administrative decision-making and extensively listening to the opinions of all parties is an important measure to improve administrative transparency and the level of scientific and democratic decision-making. In recent years, the Municipal Emergency Bureau has insisted on inviting public representatives to attend the director's office meeting every year, and has achieved good results. In the next step, the Municipal Emergency Bureau will continue to improve the depth and breadth of public participation in decision-making, and comprehensively promote the openness of government affairs in the whole process of major administrative decision-making.
