Modern Urban Governance Based on Democracy and the Rule of Law

Straightening out the relationships between the government and the market, as well as between the government and society by transforming functions, formulating lists of powers and obligations, and clarifying the boundaries of government powers is a principal part of the endeavor to modernize the system and capacity for governance in a market economy. Following the principle of “a limited and proactive government, and an effective and orderly market”, we have minimized inappropriate interventions and reduced transaction costs, thus creating a favorable development environment. By leveraging various institutional advantages and widely applying digital technology in government administration, the city has achieved efficient modern governance and secured good order in the economy and society during the period of transformation.
