Well-governed residential area is not only the guarantee of owner's peace life but also the foundations of social stability and harmony. However, what's the best way to a well-governed residential area? The residential area governing involves the governing range, the choice of regulations and the cooperation between owners, owners' committee, government community and the building management company.
