Abstract

Pursuing urban economic growth and maximizing capital surplus has become the dominant logic of urban development. However, the economic growth logic also faces the constraints of multiple governance pressures such as authority control, organizational dependence and social pressure. Achieving regional balance, promoting economic growth and maintaining social order have become the different orientations of the urban governance logic. The appearance of the multiple logic of urban governance is not only rooted in the urban governance context but also comes from the adjustment and transformation of the role of the state. The redistribution of administrative power in the process of central and local interaction has become an important dimension in shaping urban governance. Furthermore, the distribution of power from the perspective of urban governance is essential to dissolve the tension between central control and local autonomy, policy isomorphism and spatial differences, and institutional unity and mechanism flexibility. The impact of differentiated administrative decentralization on the shaping of spatial differences and governance results provides new possibilities for understanding the multiple logic of urban governance.
