To further promote the continuous innovation of urban grassroots governance led by Party building, a special seminar on "Promoting Party building leading exploration and innovation, and creating demonstration models for grassroots governance" was held at the Pudong New Area Party School on June 27th. The seminar was jointly organized by the Organization Department of the Pudong New Area Party Committee, the Urban Grassroots Party Building Research Special Committee of the Shanghai Party Building Research Association, the Pudong New Area Party School, and the Pudong New Area Party Building Research Association. Relevant leaders from 36 streets and towns in Pudong participated in the seminar.
In recent years, Pudong New Area has been focusing on building a new pattern of modern urban areas with "boutique urban areas, modern towns, and beautiful countryside", continuously promoting innovation in governance methods, governance models, and governance concepts. Currently, the "Four Ones" stage governance achievements have been formed. This includes: building a "platform", which is the quarterly meeting platform for Party building to lead grassroots governance, summarizing and exchanging experiences, and researching and deploying work; We have launched an action called "Beautiful Community · Pioneer Pudong" to strive for excellence, forming a group of outstanding cadres, a group of typical cases of innovative breakthroughs, and a group of vivid and moving stories; We have forged a "team" and focused on grassroots cadres, especially the leading members of village party organizations. We have formulated and issued 15 incentive and care measures for village secretaries and 15 incentive and care measures for social workers, creating a strong atmosphere of "doing well with ambition, being ambitious, and having a higher position" among grassroots cadres in the entire region; A batch of achievements have been formed, mainly focusing on key areas and tasks such as grassroots load reduction, grid governance, and block governance.
On this basis, how to further practice "promoting grassroots governance led by party building" and continuously deepen innovation, the conference invites experts, scholars, and frontline practitioners to discuss theory and reality. Feng Xiaomin, former Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Huang Xiaochun, Dean and Professor of the School of Sociology at Shanghai University, and Tang Youcai, Professor of the School of Social and Public Management at East China University of Science and Technology, delivered keynote speeches on "New Thinking on Party Building Leading Grassroots Governance", "Promoting the Construction of Social Governance Community through Whole Process People's Democracy", and "The Logic of Community Participation and the Creation of Community Community".
Feng Xiaomin pointed out that in the context of the new era and new journey, grassroots party organizations should further enhance their abilities in seven aspects: political leadership, ideological leadership, mass organization, social appeal, development promotion, grassroots governance, and self innovation. Tang Youcai also stated that public participation is an important component of China's social governance system, a prerequisite for building a community governance community, and a direction for innovation in community governance. Next, Pudong should further encourage community participation, cultivate community public spirit, implement full process people's democracy, enhance community vitality, and reduce the burden on neighborhood committees.
Li Peng, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Sichuan North Road Sub district in Hongkou District, Ling Junfen, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Lujiazui Sub district in Pudong New Area, Jin Ye, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Dongming Road Sub district, and Li Ping, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Laogang Town, also shared case studies and experiences.
Ling Junfen introduced that the Lujiazui Street, which is bustling with urban life and coexists with urban fireworks, has driven a comprehensive grassroots governance system with a fully covered party organization grid, forming two categories of residential areas and commercial building areas, totaling 267 grids, all of which are led by grassroots party organization leaders. Since the beginning of this year, the street has also designated team members as the chief service commissioners, rooted in the grid to dynamically grasp the status of enterprises in the building, carry out guidance, supervision, and management services, and promote closed-loop disposal of various problem demands.
Dongming Road Street, on the other hand, leads innovative social mobilization through party building, fully arousing the subject consciousness and public spirit of residents. It is reported that Dongming Road Street is located in the Sanlin Expo area of Pudong, with a jurisdictional area of 5.95 square kilometers. It is a large pure residential community formed with the overall planning and development of Shanghai and the development and opening up of Pudong. With the accelerating pace of development, young Dongming is also facing some community governance challenges. Such as lack of grassroots governance capacity, low enthusiasm for resident participation, and dirty and disorderly physical space environment. Faced with these issues, the Dongming Road Street Party Working Committee regards the wisdom and strength of 130000 residents as valuable wealth. Through party building guidance, it fully leverages the residents' subject consciousness, extensively guides their participation, and solves governance problems through participatory governance.
"In the next stage, the Party building in Pudong will lead grassroots governance work, and will continue to make greater efforts in consolidating grassroots foundations, exploring innovative breakthroughs, and creating governance samples, forming more replicable and promotable examples of Party building leading grassroots governance in Pudong." said Xu Kewei, Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Pudong New Area Party Committee.
