Lhasa, the capital city of T.A.R, is one of the major birthplaces of Tibetan civilization and the center of Tibetan politics, culture and the religion as well. It is also the important transport hub which links the countries in the southwest of China. Lhasa has its own unique features: (1) located in the Tibetan region, it has special social and economic background; furthermore, Tibetan being the majority of the population, it has also a large number of Han people from Mainland China which makes the management complicated (2) region autonomy being implemented here, Lhasa Municipality government is of great difference in comparison with other provinces of China, (3), staying at a level of pre-industrialization, the general development level is relatively backward.In order to ensure the quality of the study, this paper uses results of surveys on the present situation of the urban management model. It analyzes the present situation, states existing problems in the field of urban management and provides countermeasures to the problems to the local government. Based on the analysis, the paper provides policy suggestions to the Government in order to better carry out "Eleven Five-Year-Plan".Targeting the fact that various ethnic groups live together and most of them hold a strong Buddhism belief, this paper tries to find out a urban management pattern which suits the particular situation in Lhasa.
