Urban Development and Water Management in the Yangtze River Delta

Throughout the history of the world, the development of the cities are related to the large water systems and the ocean. Where the river is abundant, the trade and regional centres could be formed. However, along with the prosperity of the water-cities, massive urban construction and environmental issues are enormous challenges in human process. A “scientific” urban planning, “Sponge City”, “Resilient City”, regional and urban culture and characteristics get more and more attention. The theme of “water and city” is clearly of great historical value and practical significance for the new resilient urban and water management strategies. The paper will summarize characteristics of geographical, historical, socio-cultural and political realms in metropolitan deltas and the historical governance as well as the recent developments in the Yangtze River Delta. It will introduce urban development and water management in four water cities: the canal and the city-Yangzhou, the river and the city-Nanjing, the lake and the city-Suzhou and the sea and the city-Shanghai. And then it will analyze the inner motivation of the interaction between water and cities in Yangtze River Delta. Furthermore, learning from successful historical experiences, the paper will provide suggestions for future sustainable urban development.

Processes of Adaptation and Creation of a Territorial Governance： The Experience of the Cities of Benevento and Salerno （Campania Region, Italy）~

This paper presents some considerations about the definition and role of ＂medium-sized cities＂ in the processes of urban governance of the Italian regional systems, in line with the objectives of European programming 2007-2013. Beginning from some theoretical considerations, the research objective is to delineate the features of the ＂new urban geography＂ of Campania region as it has been formed on the base of the social and economic processes that in the last 30 years have modified the regional urban system in the widest context of Mezzogiorno. To such aim, the paper is articulated in two parts： the first one in which the fundamental passages are re-called in the processes of development of Italian urban areas that have carried to new paradigms object of theoretical approaches still in course of definition, and the second one in which such processes are considered regarding the model of urban development of Campania, on which the research is concentrated. Specifically, the paper presents the case of two ＂middle cities＂ in the Campania region： Benevento and Salerno, which play a particularly important role in the design and development of a ＂regional network of medium-sized cities＂.

A Discussion for the Protection of the Environnement in the Law of Planification in China

This article aims to answer the question that if the law of planification of China,really takes account of the objectives of environmental protection.The answer is based on,first of all,the reform of system of land ownership(direct link of the development of urbanization).This article cracks the problem by two approaches:the state and collective property right.The first part of the analysis is macro-perspective,i.e.,the course of land reform and the land users.In general,the state remains the sole owner of all the land and delegates the local governments to manage the use of land in China.However,the high interest undermines their roles,and degradation of environment in the process of urbanization continues.Based on this observation,we analyzed their administration,i.e.,who are the actors and how the powers are shared.The lack of transparency and independence is in its structure,i.e.,they have ambitions to have a good protection but the conflict appears frequently.In the further part,micro-vision was employed.We focused on the regulations of planification,procedures and formalities that is deeply involved.In fact,we find that the volume of law was expanded and a need of consolidation is urgent for the coherence,accessibility and understanding of law.Then it follows the analysis of two typical procedures:the procedure of environmental assessment as well as participation.These procedures are the practical implementation of the consideration of the environment.The fact is that rapid urbanization resulted in a reconfiguration of the urban space,and the appearance of a variety of interests.The degradation of environment,coupled with the importance of urbanization has become a challenge to governance.People realized more and more issues related to housing,welfare and citizenship.This forces the government to change their policies and acts.From different points of views-historical,political,administrative,legal and social-this research determines how a better environmental protection can play in law of planification.The reforms are envisaged,and there are still problems:the harmonization and consistency of the regulations,the clarity of the law for his efficiency and law security,the improvement of the process.Contrary to what is received,the government has intention to solve this question,as demonstrated by his consistency to innovation and reform in the field.At the present,planification,rather than a method of protection,works for the growth of the economy.Due to the lack of effective regulation,the real consideration of environment is still very limited.

A Pluralistic and Participatory Community Governance Model for Urban China in the Era of Economic and Spatial Restructuring

As China’s socio-economic development is entering into a transitioning era,urban residents’demands are becoming more diversified,complicated,and fragmented.Ought to address issues regarding community environmental renovation,infrastructure and facilities constructions,and efficient public service supplies,measures should be adopted to adjust the urban community governance model in China to face emergent challenges.Against this background,this paper argues that the"participating actors,""community management and organization framework,""related laws,regulations,and policies,"and"resources allocation and management"are the four crucial dimensions in urban community governance.We then adopted these four underpinnings as the theoretical framework to unravel the complex dynamics of community governance in contemporary urban China.This paper argues that the current community governance system falls short in accommodating the growing demands of community development due to"ambiguity of participating actors,""excessive administrative intervention on community management,""insufficient legislation supports,"and a"deficiency in financing management system."Therefore,this paper argues that through the pluralization of public participation,diversification of community organization modes,and the enhancement of participation accessibility,community governance performance in urban China could be drastically improved.Therefore,a pluralistic and participatory community governance model is proposed in this paper to provide additional policy implications for community governance in urban China.

Research and Practice of Meta-synthesis Management for the Government-led Urban Complex Construction Project

This paper researches the overall construction target of government-led urban complex construction projects based on the perspective of sustainable urban development. In order to achieve benefit maximization, the meta-synthesis management for the government-led urban complex construction project is studied. In order to combine theory and practice, several typical government-led urban complex construction project cases, such as Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center and Guangzhou International Financial City etc. are examined. These examples point to the feasibility of government-led meta-synthesis management and demonstrate the benefits that can be achieved through this model.

A Comparative History Partnership From a Historical Institutional Theory View―A Brief Introduction of Three Experiments Beyond Conventional City Planning 1970-1991 in Kotake-Mukaihara District,Tokyo

Institutional development and the substantial governance outcomes have continued to be a big theme in Political Science.This paper focuses on partnership practices in public works construction and decision-making cases in city and urban settings(as a socio-political environment).In these settings,the management of policy regarding space and time should conduct on understandings of the various dimensions of institutional settings.We are going to emphasize institution and coordination in the public policy process.So,this paper attempted to describe chronological restrictions that were generated by long-term interactions and institutional transformation’s patterns from a historical institutional view.As much as possible,we have analyzed the following micro-institutional experiments,participatory governance(Case I)and public works executions(Cases II and III)to show the institutional development patterns precisely.

城市更新的参与式治理:从物质空间到社会空间

从全生命周期关注城市更新已引起政策和实践的重视,但现有研究多关注城市更新的空间建设和实现阶段,对于城市更新空间的后续维护和使用阶段却相对较少关注。通过对上海社区层面的微更新、街区层面的生活圈建设、城市层面的滨江滨河空间贯通等三个层次案例的分析发现,城市更新是否带来期待的社会效果不仅取决于物质空间建设,还取决于是否通过参与式治理形成了有序的社会空间。物质空间的建设可在短时间内完成,但有序社会空间的形成需要较长时间的磨合和探索。从城市更新到美好生活需要重视物质空间供给后引发的社会空间问题,以参与式治理推动城市更新的可持续发展。

城乡融合视角下乡村体育“治理有效”的价值意蕴、目标维度与实践进路

城乡融合发展是中国式现代化的必然要求,消弭城乡分治格局谋求乡村体育高质量发展,从而达成城乡融合新格局,乡村体育治理有效是重中之重。以城乡融合为视角,研究综合运用文献资料、逻辑分析等方法,在明晰乡村体育“治理有效”价值意蕴和治理目标的基础上,依据“共存-共建-共赢”城乡治理逻辑和“乡村-县域-城市”治理结构框架,对乡村体育治理问题展开研究。研究发现,乡村体育治理呈现出城乡分治向城乡共治的转变、国家意志向以人为本的回归、一元主导向多元协同的转型、刚性传导向韧性互动的纠正、文化断裂向文化自信的形塑。在治理有效目标导向下,依据价值、主体、结构三个层面,提出乡村体育治理的具体进路:确立“人的自由全面发展”城乡体育治理新理念、以城乡体育新内生发展推进乡村社区化主体赋能、以城乡体育立体网络联结达成外生赋能与内生激活。

共同富裕背景下城乡信息分化治理的行动路径——基于县域治理的分析框架

在信息资源成为新型生产要素的时代背景下,城乡信息分化治理是推动乡村振兴的必要举措,也是推进以共同富裕为特征的中国式现代化的应有之义。城乡信息分化治理具有化智为治、科技引领、数字再生、时空链接等技术赋能的实践价值,但也面临着基础设施建设滞后、人力资源严重短缺、协同治理机制失衡、市场环境表现不佳等困境。因此,以县域为空间尺度和政策发力点,通过完善基础设施、加强人才培育、提升治理效能和促进产业兴旺等县域治理路径,能够推进城乡信息分化的治理和共同富裕战略的实现。

城市社区去行政化改革的事物、职能和组织维度

近年来,去行政化一直是基层治理改革的主题。部分地方政府探索了“居站分设”“撤街强社”等模式,但由于缺乏综合性,单一线索的改革难免陷入困境。现有文献从国家社会关系和社区职能分类等视角探索去行政化改革,但由于未能全面纳入社区治理的影响因素,因而和社区治理实践存在一定的脱节。在利用事物、职能和组织逻辑的框架透视改革历程后发现,缺乏彼此配合的单一逻辑改革效果有限。住房制度改革和物业服务的市场化开辟了行政控制外的新空间,却面临业主组织支撑力度不强的难题。职能分类和准入制为社区去行政化提供了前提,但缺少组织关系改革的配合,行政性事项仍然会渗透组织边界进入居民委员会。居站分离改革为去行政化提供了组织依托,但由于缺乏系统性思维而出现了分殊。三重逻辑框架和对改革历程的分析启示,未来的去行政化要避免单一逻辑的事物职能改革或者组织改革,坚持“事物职能分类、居站分离和培育居民自治”三策并举的复合型改革,继续梳理制定社区事物职能分类目录,结合目录清单改革城市的社区居站关系,聚焦相关利益和治理环节培育居民委员会自治能力。

学习型城市建设:全球实践及其启示

学习型城市在国外已有近半个世纪的发展,积累并形成了一套较为成熟且可资借鉴的运作模式与经验。通过对以项目为依托的欧洲经济论模式、以技术为依托的北美智能论模式、以政府为依托的东亚关系论模式和以基本发展为依托的非洲理念论模式等不同地区学习型城市建设与发展的系统引介与分析,提炼其对新时代中国学习型城市建设与发展的经验借鉴,并在此基础上提出契合本土实际的推进策略:培育“学习文化”,营造全社会学习氛围;加强学习型社区建设,推进居民终身学习;创造更多学习机会,扩大教育共享范畴;加大公共财政投入,拓宽多元化资金支持;建立健全相关协同制度与联动保障机制等。

再造公共服务单元:党建引领城市基层公共服务供给的政治逻辑——基于上海市的案例观察

城市发展所带来的人口集聚增加了基层公共服务的供给张力,这种供给张力一方面体现为服务需求和服务资源的差距,另一方面表现为服务需求与制度存量之间的张力。基层政府可以通过调整行政区划的方式调适公共服务张力,但面临明显的制度约束。在上海市S镇的案例中,基层政府尝试建立二级党委和功能性服务平台,进而在行政区划之外再造了一个以党建引领为核心机制的公共服务单元。除了建立二级党委,当前部分超大城市的探索还包括建立片区党委与功能性服务平台,建立党支部、联合党支部、功能性党支部与服务站点等。这些实践回应了政党社会化命题,在超大城市公共服务供给中实现了“政党有效在场”。再造公共服务单元塑造出了复合供给的基层公共服务格局,其核心特征是建立以党建引领为核心,以行政、市场、社会和技术为协同的多元供给路径。
