The work report of the Nanjing Municipal Government summarizes the work in the past five years and 2022, analyzes the current situation, and plans the main direction of Nanjing modernization in the next five years, with the focus on the 2023 tasks and practical projects for people's livelihood. The report regards the lack of modernization of the urban governance system and capacity as one of the current challenges and problems facing Nanjing; It will also regards accelerating the modernization of the urban governance system and capacity as one of the five key aspects that need to be tackled and broken through in striving to be the demonstration and guidance of Chinese path to modernization urban practice.
This paper believes that, fundamentally speaking, to promote the modernization of the governance system and capacity, the problem is what role the government plays in the development process and how to play it. The former problem concerns the correct handling of the relationship between the government and the market, that is, the degree of intervention of government agencies in microeconomic activities. Modern governance emphasizes the diversity, equality, and democracy of governance subjects, and requires the government to provide an open and fair competition policy environment for various market subjects. The latter problem involves how to better play the role of the government, that is, the means and path of governance. Modern governance emphasizes the legitimacy and transparency of governance means and paths.
