Abstract:

China is currently navigating a period prone to various conflicts and risks, where the complexity of public safety risks poses severe challenges to grassroots social governance. Due to the fragmentation of governance organizations and resources, the traditional governance model that relies on single departments and post-incident responses faces capacity crisis, struggling both to intervene in visible risks and to identify latent ones. Against this backdrop, the standardized construction of comprehensive governance centers has entered a fast-track phase, advancing the establishment of a holistic governance model for public safety. As a key vehicle for holistic governance, the operational practice of these centers demonstrate three core logics: strengthening mechanisms for risk source governance, innovating intelligent governance through technology-embedded processes, and driving organizational transformation toward a digital bureaucracy. The practice of standardizing comprehensive governance centers must be rooted in systematic transformations of mechanisms, institutions and structures, thereby ensuring effectiveness, legitimacy and justification. Therefore, it is essential to advance the top-level design concerning optimizing resilient governance, balancing human-machine relationships and improving authority-capacity configurations, so as to drive the deepening development of holistic governance of public safety centered on the comprehensive governance centers.
