Analysis Of Urban Renewal Policy-Making Mechanismin China

With rapid development of the economic and social, China's urbanization process is accelerating. The scale and effect of Urban renewal are attracting more and more attention. The policy-making for the urban renewal as the foundation and basis for urban renewal has gradually be the focus of attention by the society and public, also will be one of the subjects of study for urban development. The merits and demerits of Urban renewal policy-making will direct bearing on the results of urban renewal good or bad. Because of the long-term government-led urban management system, China's urban renewal policy-making is faced with more and more difficult than any other country.As China's urban renewal speed and scale are continuous increasing, the urban industrial structuring, the legal awareness of public and community groups enhancing, the degree of government information improving, the media efforts deepening, all these are constantly updated the policy-making toward more scientific and rational.The Decision Theory, Public Choice Theory and Mechanism theory think that, the optimal policy-making mechanism of the urban renewal should be: the statutory decision-making bodies, the diversifying of main policy-making, the opened and transparent of express information mechanism, the fair and reasonable decision-making process. These four factors are related and restricted with each other, one of these is missed, will affect the others.However, China's urban renewal policy-making mechanism has a series of problems and loopholes: Firstly, the city plans is out of effectiveness and control. Secondly, the urban renewal is monopole by the government. Thirdly, the urban renewal is specific benefit-oriented and the information is asymmetric. Forth, the enforcement of policy is not strong. Fifth, the oversight mechanism of policy-making is imperfect. Sixth, the estimate of the policy's outcome is not scientific. Seventh, the policy-making of urban renewal and related legal systems are lacking. Imperfect urban renewal policy-making mechanism must result in a series of questions: Firstly, the government rent-seeking is arising. Secondly, the government short-term and the distorted view of achievements are formed. Thirdly, the social relationships and structures are distorted. Forth, the government is seeking benefit and the civil society is lacking. Fifth, the urban culture is out of fracture and the city character is lost. Sixth, the social resources are seriously wasted.Urban renewal policy-making mechanisms has such problems and loopholes, is related with our long-established government control. The government monopolizes the decision-making and implementation of the urban renewal. Other stakeholders are just a passive acceptance. Such a management model seriously affects the science and rationality of urban renewal policy-making, seriously impact the process of urban renewal.Learn from the way and experience of United States and United Kingdom in Urban renewal policy-making, in this paper, the optimum mechanism of the urban renewal decision-making must adhere to the philosophy and specific measures: Firstly, the policy-making for the urban renewal must adhere to the "constitutional" status of urban planning. Secondly, the main body of policy-making must be multiplex. Thirdly, the policy-making process must be equitable. Forth, policy-making must adhere to sustainable development. Fifth, the policy-making must adhere to the fracture and character of the city. Sixth, the decision-making mechanisms for Urban renewal must be institutionalized.China's policy-making mechanism for the urban renewal has to efforts from the following: Firstly, policy-making's concepts: from the "City Control" to "Urban Governance". Secondly, establish an effective mechanism for democratic policy-making. Thirdly, the policy-making process must be equitable and standardized. Forth, establish a professional evaluation system and evaluation index system of policy-making mechanism for urban renewal. Fifth, set up and improve the policy-making mechanism of oversight responsibility. Sixth, set up a legal system and procedures of policy-making systems.In this paper, we will use these research methods such as literature research, analysis examples and Synthesize to discuss the problem. By discussing the status and issues of today's urban renewal policy-making, the purpose is to establish an optimum mechanism of the urban renewal policy-making.Beginning with the optimum mechanism, ending with how to establish and improve the mechanism of urban renewal policy-making in order to promote a healthy and reasonable development of urban renewal policy-making. The essay is around the policy-making mechanism, crossing the reality of china's urban renewal management; proceed to put forward the corresponding countermeasures. On a whole it is of great significance and practical value to china's urban renewal.
