Jianyan City | Experience and Enlightenment of model city management

Text/Wang Kejian

As a model of modern urban governance, Singapore, as a Chinese population, has an important reference and enlightenment significance for my country's modern urban management.

Since 1996, Singapore has officially entered the ranks of developed countries and has been known as "the cleanest and stable politics in various emerging countries in Southeast Asia, the most prosperous economy, and the most harmonious and stable society in society." The success of Singapore's public management is inseparable from its mature, perfect and innovative urban governance.

The core of Singapore's urban governance is the urban management concept of "advanced governance". Its construction is on the special social, economic, political, and cultural environment of Singapore. It is a governance concept of public needs, technological innovation as a means, and continuous urban public management system.

The governance of the city will not be static. Analyze the global development trend, adapt to local conditions, plan in advance, design, and layout in advance, and continue to promote industrial change with technological innovation as a means. In the past half century, Singapore's per capita GDP has increased by 80 times, and five economic transformations have been carried out: labor -intensive industries in the 1960s, economic dense industries in the 1970s, capital -intensive industries in the 1980s, technology in the 1990s The intensive industry and the 21st century knowledge -intensive industry. In the future, Singapore hopes to comprehensively transform and innovate and intensive industries.

Secondly, according to the continuous changes in the needs of urban residents, the social policies of Singapore's urban management are constantly adjusted, and the urban public management system has been continuously improved. Singapore's unique social and cultural environment also provides cornerstone for the urban management concept of "advanced governance". Elite governance cooperate with urban planning, developed market economy, open financial environment, perfect legal system, and diversified cultural values ​​together affecting Singapore's urban management concepts.

"Separation of regulatory management" is an important principle of Singapore's urban governance. At present, Singapore has established a relatively mature and perfect urban management organization model, and the planning, construction and management are undertaken by different and independent departments. The Urban Reconstruction Bureau is responsible for the overall planning of the city, the Housing and Development Bureau is responsible for the single design and construction of urban buildings, and the daily management work in urban management ... non -interference and clear power and responsibilities are more conducive to the standardized management of cities. Essence

Singapore has a set of urban management evaluation systems that adapt to itself. The evaluation projects are detailed and the score standards are specific. The maintenance and management of urban hardware facilities is mainly based on the cleaning of the city, involving public electrical appliances, elevators, entertainment facilities, open space, smoking, spitting, and losing garbage. Secondly, Singapore also pays attention to the operation of urban management funds. 70%to 80%of the sources of funds is missed, and the remaining parts are subsidized by the government. The Township Council is responsible for funds and is used in a large proportion for daily cities management. The remaining small parts of investment in business and service industries are invested in the value -added of funds.

Singapore's mature urban management system has its own advantages and the background of the times. We should take its essence and dross according to our own development needs, and take high -quality development as the core to develop the modern urban management system that adapts to its own.
