| The urban development goal of "people’s city built by the people,people’s city for the people" reflects the advancement from rapid urbanization to the stage of good urban life.As an essential urban public space,streets are an essential vehicle for realizing the vision of a better city for the people.Over the years,the ability to govern the public space of streets has been a vital assessment indicator of the public service capacity of local governments.At present,the governance of public space on streets in China includes the stages of planning,construction,management,and social co-governance.It is influenced by several governance bodies,including national and local spatial governance functions,developers,investment companies,design and construction units,enterprises,social organizations,neighborhood committees,property committees and residents.In this context,people’s sense of access to street life has become a strong value orientation for local governments to govern.However,different governance actors’ understanding and implementation of fine-grained governance of public space in the streets vary significantly in reality.The study takes the perspective of fine-grained spatial governance and compares the evolution of the functions,governance tools and governance systems of street public space governance institutions,and concludes that the main governance dilemmas of street public space in China are: fragmented interaction under fragmented functions,one-way governance goals with short-term visual effects,and the lack of trial-and-error mechanisms resulting in low-quality construction projects,low spatial integration,and damage to users’ public rights.The problems are to place spatial planning,construction,and management in the context of the modernization of local government governance and analyze the specific implications of the current dilemma of the lack of consensus on the governance of public space in China’s streets.The study also focuses on the relationship between different governance actors in the different stages of street public space governance and the process of fine-tuned governance in Changsha’s street public space project practice and street public space governance evidence and points out the process of consensus formation in the stage of social co-governance.The study also takes action on the planning governance of New York’s street public space.It points out that the use of urban mapping as a refined governance tool and the establishment of a governance system that uses comprehensive data to conduct a refined assessment of the current situation and promote interaction,further exploring the process of how different actors build a shared understanding of publicness in the process of action planning,mutual knowledge and feedback,and finally reaching consensus.The study finds that consensus on public space in the governance process tends to rise stepwise,thus promoting a common redefinition of public space and helping to revise and accommodate the rights and interests of differentiated users.The conclusion points out that urban mapping and action planning have significant value in correcting the spatial rights,identity,and participation of different users and can contribute authentically and effectively to protecting local interests and disseminating local culture and ideas.Methods and paths for the governance of street public space can be reached by innovating social governance-based interactive projects,building sophisticated governance tools for urban portraiture,and exploring consensus governance mechanisms based on publicness.The contribution of the study is to remedy the structural lack of governance of street public space and social governance boards in China and to condense urban portraits and action planning into stable and refined spatial governance links,which can advance social co-governance at the end of the front end of design specification and revision approval,allowing the value of street public space to be re-perceived,created and used,intending to respond to the beautiful goal of people building street public space in China. |
