An Analysis of Urban Management as a Public Product: A Case Study on Wuxi City

Urban management is a main function of urban government and one of the most important public products offered by urban society. Influenced by traditional ideas and systems, the mode of supply of urban management as a public product is so low in efficiency that it is no longer in line with urban development. This paper claims that it is a new perspective to study urban management within the theoretical frameworks of modern public management and supply of public products. This new perspective is not only an effective way to explore transformation of urban functions and innovation of mechanism of urban management but also beneficial to improve governance ability of urban government and push the all-around development of a city.
