Decades into the reform and opening, especially since the 1990s, the urban poverty problem in China is increasingly prominent,with urban gini coefficient reaching 0.529, occupying the most unfair country ranks. With the coexistence of high economic growth, urban poverty and the wider income gap problem have led to mixed contradictions in China’s political, economic and social fields, seriously affecting the realization of social justice and sustainable development of economic and social, which is responsible for the social instability. On the basis of Chinese traditional social assistance thoughts, the CCP has taken forceful measures advancing with the times that building the system of urban social assistance step by step, with the core of urbanites’ minimum living security system and the important part of tied benefit and temporary assistance, greatly alleviating the urban poverty. The Chinese Communist Party has changed its development idea from "giving priority to efficiency with due consideration to fairness" to "giving attention both to efficiency and justice", and to "sharing the development" since the reform and opening. In keeping with it, the urban social assistance has underwent the evolution from the bahavior of urban social assistance to the building of urban social assistance institution, and in the end to the establishment and gradual improvement of social assistance system in cities. However, with the fact that the national standard of poverty line is low and the scope of urban residents living in poverty line up and down is huge, low life quality of the poor cannot enable them to have enough ability of resisting the risk of life, and the system deficiency in urban social assistance that addressing livelihoods over development has resulted in the containment lackness of the social assistance, bringing out not very outstanding effect of salvage.The article, guided in the Marxism, premised with guarantee theory in socialism, and from the view of inclusive growth, explores the inclusive growth extent in urban social assistance of CCP since the reform and opening, and other aspects including obeying Scientific Outlook on Development and improving the urban social assistance system based on developing social policy to enhance its containment. The text also has a multilevel and multi angle comprehensive research, based on the subject leading edge and scientific socialism theory, applying relevant knowledge such as developing economics, social insurance, history and literature, political science, economics, sociology and management, combining normal research with empirical analysis, comparing both international and domestic ones, with integratation of theory thinking and policy suggestions, and assisted with both quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis.Stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one. After the oil crisis in 1970 s, on one hand, the social welfare projects in developed country, especially the social assistance projects, have turned universal development to targeted development, associating the social assistance with the development of economy, which improves the economic and social effect. On the other hand, social assistance has an increasingly obvious characteristic of inclusion, ranging from traditional mode to modern mode, from selection mode to common mode development. Practice of social assistance in advanced countries strongly suggests that inclusive growth is not only a kind of new development concept, but also the value orientation followed during the process of making social policies. The value of fairness and justice, the inclusive growth theory contains, and the policy guidance of the tolerance of all walks of the common also points out the direction for social assistance policy. In a move to achieve good effect, exploring the mechanism of poverty occurrence is a must to enhance the extent of system containment.Since the reform and opening up to the outside world, Chinese urban poverty has had mixed reasons, including personal reasons like the inability of getting rid of poverty, structural factors in the social change, and some other considerations, such as the policy absence and the policy imperfect in social transformation. This finds logical starting point for social assistance policy intervention:implementing inclusive growth strategy has intensely importance, in order to promote the efficiency and rapid economic growth, on one hand, creating more jobs and further development results, and eventually realizing the profit growth of lean type. On the other hand, inclusive growth can help making more inclusive social policies, eliminating social exclusion and enhancing social integration, promoting the human capital of the poor, improving the fairness of social services, and providing continuing human support and good cultural environment for harmonious development of the whole economic society.Since the reform and opening up, the Communist Party of China’s understanding of the concept of urban social assistance has a gradual deepening process. In the early stages of reform, Communist Party of China put forward the development of the concept of giving priority to efficiency too busy to take into account the overall design of the social security system, social security system just for serving the economic construction, the emphasis is the economic function of social security system, focusing on the construction of the social security program is the old-age insurance and unemployment insurance system, until the city poverty appear fully, urban social assistance is truly entered the horizon for decision-making. Proposed in 1997 to establish a minimum living security system for urban residents. This shows that the Communist Party of China has a preliminary understanding of the importance of urban social assistance, but still remain in the service economy as a tool of economic reform, In 1999 the urban residents minimum living security regulations "promulgated, the Communist Party of China began to urban social assistance policy re understanding, and began to gradually improve the system of subsistence allowances for urban residents, social assistance policy. With the expansion of economic growth and the gap between rich and poor, the efficiency of growth and social injustice and other outstanding issues, the Communist Party had to rethink China and orientation of social security policy, at the same time to respond to the relationship between economic development and the improvement of people’s livelihood, but also from the previous distribution principle of "giving priority to efficiency and fairness" to the development of primary distribution and redistribution must handle the relationship between efficiency and fairness, with particular emphasis on equity, so far, the poor group of city social assistance policy is of particular concern, Chinese party security system for social functions is more in-depth and comprehensive, especially pay attention to the construction and perfection of the system of social assistance system of the city. This comprehensive and scientific understanding in the eighteen major reports of the party is formulated as social security is a basic system to protect people’s lives and regulate social distribution ". Social security to improve people’s livelihood and well-being and promote social fairness and justice is a basic social policy as, suggesting that the Communist Party of China (CPC) understanding of social security breaks through the traditional stereotype has reached a new height.Since the reform and opening up, the Communist Party of China for the understanding of the conception of urban social relief is a gradually deepening process of inclusive growth path of China’s urban social assistance from the perspective of at least including the implementation of social assistance policy benefits the poor, improve the income level of poor population, eliminating material poverty; follow the development of the social relief principle, promote poor self-help ability, eliminate ability poverty; adhering to the idea of the value of fairness and justice, equal right and opportunity to inclusive, eliminating rights poverty. Urban poverty is the inevitable result of the development of economic and social transformation, and it is even a huge progress relative to the rural poverty. Urban development is inclusive, rather than exclusion. Inclusive growth of urban social assistance policy points to at least includes several aspects of content:adhere to the dominant position of public ownership and improve the primary distribution system and increase the proportion of labor income; improve the urban social assistance to commercialization degree; existing urban social assistance policy to form multi-party participation in poverty governance pattern by the combination of and social governance, effectively alleviate urban poverty. Only this, in order to meet the direction of the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts.
