Xinhua News Agency, Chengdu, November 26th: Party building leads "co-construction, co-governance and sharing" — — "Chengdu Exploration" on the Modernization of Social Governance System and Governance Capacity in Megacities
Xinhua news agency reporter
At the historical intersection of the goal of "two hundred years", the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee made a series of major arrangements around "upholding and improving the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity", and the grand blueprint of "the rule of China" gradually became clear.
Social governance is an important aspect of state governance. Community is the "last mile" of social governance. To build a new pattern of grassroots social governance, it is necessary to improve the institutionalized channels for the masses to participate in grassroots social governance.
When the reporter interviewed the urban and rural communities in Chengdu, he really felt the changes brought about by this institutionalized exploration: the living environment was continuously optimized and the people’s sense of gain was constantly enhanced … … Focusing on the pain points and difficulties of community governance around the people and improving the urban and rural community development governance system under the leadership of party organizations, Chengdu is embarking on an innovative road of governance modernization in megacities.
Party building leads — — Building a new atmosphere of grass-roots social governance
The turquoise old-fashioned internal combustion engine locomotive is matched with the old-fashioned workshop with red bricks and gray tiles. A huge portrait of a five-story cartoon panda stands on the street corner. The neat streets are decorated with all kinds of trendy art "graffiti", and many "online celebrity" small attractions attract tourists to stop and take pictures.
Classic and modern art are intertwined, and fashion and local culture are organically combined — — This is the Xiajiancao Community in Erxianqiao Street of chenghua district after "rebirth".

As a "veteran" community of 10,000 people in Chengdu, Xiajiancao Community used to belong to the family area of CRRC Chengdu Company, with over 14,000 residents. Since 2015, the family area with a long history has begun to carry out the separation and handover of enterprises. There are many people and many things, and the process of community transformation is extremely difficult.
"The most difficult thing is to dismantle illegal buildings in the community." Zou Tao, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Erxianqiao Street, said that it is even more difficult to persuade residents to dismantle illegal construction and prevent the resurgence of illegal construction.
"To promote the resolution of community governance problems, we must give play to the party’s core role of leadership at the grassroots level, and party member cadres should take the lead in demonstrating." Zou Tao said that the community has established a regional party building mechanism, set up a party building alliance, mobilized all the party member members of the two committees of the community to work at home, and opened up new ideas, and selected a building in the community to conduct a pilot project to show the transformation effect.
Despite his advanced age, Jiang Changsheng, an old party member who has lived in this life for more than 50 years, still insists on working in various households. "There was a household who kicked me out the first time, and I went there three times, and they finally understood the importance of the environment."
Near the end of the community transformation, an old resident of Xiajiancao community, who is nearly eighty years old, wrote a feeling that resonated with everyone — —
"In the 1980 s and 1990 s, the community was neglected in management, and the private construction was not restrained. There were a number of shacks hatched around the buildings, and the public space was severely squeezed, giving people an invisible sense of oppression. Wechat groups often forward ‘ Keep the memory of old Chengdu ’ , always with the photos of our next ditch, it can be seen that the next ditch is an antique forgotten in the last century. "
Now, when I go to Xiajiancao Community, what I see are neat and clean courtyards, well-laid parking spaces and exquisite literary public facilities. The "spider web in the air" has disappeared without a trace, and the community is also equipped with "face-brushing" security facilities.

In September 2017, Chengdu took the lead in establishing the Urban and Rural Community Development Governance Committee of Chengdu Municipal Committee (referred to as the Social Governance Committee), with the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee and the Minister of Organization Department as the director of the Social Governance Committee to promote community governance innovation as a whole.
In June 2018, Chengdu issued a document clearly stating that it is necessary to build a three-level party organization structure of "street, community and community" and form a tripartite linkage governance and service system of "community party organization+owners’ committee+property agency". At present, Party organizations have been established in 4,328 communities in the city, and nearly 80,000 on-the-job party member have shown their identity and made promises in the communities.
Li Jun, director of the Organization Department II of the Organization Department of Chengdu Municipal Committee, introduced that "Chengdu Exploration" promoted the standardized operation of various organizations in the community and gradually moved towards an orderly governance state: promoting the establishment of party organizations by industry committees; Concluding the neighborhood convention, party member owners took the lead in demonstrating and called on residents to participate in the community construction.
Qingbaijiang district Hancheng International Community successfully controlled parking chaos, and jinniu district Xinqiao Community gradually optimized the living environment … … The reporter found that there is no lack of party member in every corner of community governance in Chengdu.
Tang Jiqiang, a professor at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, believes that to solve the problem of "fragmentation and decentralization" in grassroots governance, Chengdu has embarked on a new path of leading grassroots governance with party building and solved many problems. Chengdu’s quest to strengthen streets, communities and communities, to build grass-roots party organizations into strong battlefortresses, and to improve the urban and rural grass-roots governance system led by party organizations in the Fourth Plenary Session has really come to fruition.
Keep pace with the times — — Adhere to the continuous innovation of system and mechanism.
In recent years, Chengdu’s urban form, mode of production and social structure have undergone profound changes. At present, there are 4,351 urban and rural communities under the jurisdiction of Chengdu, with an actual population of 21.2 million, with nearly 20,000 communities and more than 200 "10,000-person communities".
Located in the logistics corridor north of Chengdu, Honghu Park City Community in Dafeng Street, Xindu District is one of the local large-scale "10,000-person communities", with a total population of over 12,000, and nearly 90% of the residents are foreign operators and migrant workers. Xu Yuchuan, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Dafeng Street, said that there were once "three differences" in the community: poor public security, poor order management and poor environmental sanitation.
"The traditional concept of social management is no longer suitable for the characteristics of urban development stage and practical needs, ‘ Jiulong Water Control ’ The shortcomings of the system and the management inertia of fragmentation have affected the overall efficiency of urban governance. " Gao Wei, director of the Community Governance Division of the Social Governance Committee of Chengdu Municipal Committee, said.
The reporter learned from the Reform Office of Chengdu Municipal Committee that Chengdu took the lead in setting up a leading group for urban and rural community development and governance, clearly defined the division of responsibilities between the Social Governance Committee and organizations, politics and law, civil affairs and other departments, and made it clear that the Social Governance Committee took the lead in formulating long-term goals and phased tasks for urban and rural community development and governance, formulating a policy system for urban and rural community development and governance, and promoting the construction of a diversified governance system.
"The establishment of the Municipal Committee of Social Governance has solved ‘ One department can’t grasp it, and many departments can’t grasp it well ’ Community governance problems. " Gao Wei said that the Social Governance Committee of the Municipal Party Committee has integrated more than 40 departments related to community governance and made overall plans for various governance matters and funds, greatly improving the overall work efficiency and governance capacity.
Through "looking for party member, building organizations, optimizing mechanisms, grasping services and planting culture", Honghu Park City Community gradually changed from chaos to governance. The reporter recently came here and found that the clear river meanders through the community, the service staff of the community workstation are busy, and the elderly and children live leisurely in the courtyard dam.
Song Guilun, a professor at China Institute of Education and Social Development of Beijing Normal University, believes that at this stage, "big city disease" is widespread in big cities in China, mainly covering population, traffic and pollution. If you want to solve it, it is difficult to cure your feet simply by treating your head with headache and your feet with pain. You must start with the innovation of the system and mechanism to make overall plans to solve it.
People-centered — — Strive to create a new pattern of co-construction, co-governance and sharing
The weather is beautiful and the blue sky is like washing. Hundreds of colorful flags neatly surround the lighting stadium in Xiajiancao community. On the stage of Yuanba, the "Yunmei" senior dance troupe is rehearsing the fan dance.

"The average age of our team is 62 years old. These more than 300 flags represent more than 300 community folk dance groups." The 70-year-old Chen Huajun told reporters that she had founded the dance troupe for 20 years. Before, she could only practice dancing in the "Bazi", which was stormy and the conditions were difficult. In recent years, many communities are competing to provide free and high-quality indoor and outdoor venues for the dance troupe, which makes the "girls" happy.

"To improve the ability of community governance, we should not only rely on the government, but also introduce social forces to participate in joint construction, governance and sharing." Zou Tao said.
Xinqiao Community in Shaheyuan Street, jinniu district used to be a distribution center for steel logistics, with a complex living environment.

Chengdu has also made great efforts in reducing the burden on communities: formulating some measures to reduce the burden on communities and reducing the number of community certification items from 313 to 15; Set up special funds for communities, and match 350,000 yuan of guarantee funds for each urban and rural community every year … …
"Improve the community management and service mechanism, implement grid management and service, and give play to the role of group organizations and social organizations", "Push the focus of social governance and service down to the grassroots level, sink more resources to the grassroots level, and better provide accurate and refined services" … … The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee put forward clear requirements for building a new pattern of grassroots social governance.
The efficiency of online government affairs listening to public opinion is also improving. In October 2018, the "Tianfu Citizen Cloud" platform was officially launched, integrating 189 services from 57 departments and opening more than 1,000 community channels. Up to now, the number of registered users has reached 3.43 million, and it has served the citizens for 90 million times.
Integrating the power of grassroots social governance, innovating the means and carriers of grassroots social governance, and constantly promoting the socialization, rule of law, intelligence and specialization of social governance have always been the direction of Chengdu’s exploration and efforts.
Yang Jinzhong, deputy director of the Policy Research Department of the Political and Legal Committee of Chengdu Municipal Committee, introduced that since 2017, Chengdu has started the integration of grid services throughout the country, divided the whole city into 15,329 grids, and identified 13,445 full-time grid workers to perform duties such as finding problems, collecting information, persuading disputes, and launching publicity, which has improved the standardization and refinement of grid management, and promoted the downward shift of social governance focus, strength and security. Since the beginning of this year, grid workers have found, reported and handled more than 14,000 public security incidents and 1.048 million fire, traffic and food safety incidents, which have effectively solved the most direct and realistic livelihood problems of the people.
According to the survey results of the third-party social questionnaire, 95.8% of the Chengdu residents interviewed at present recognize the construction of high-quality harmonious and livable communities, and 96.6% of the citizens think that the community has undergone gratifying changes.
