Abstract: Community governance is the foundation and important part of social governance.In the course of concrete operation,there is a realistic dilemma of management and autonomy.Facing the diversified social structure and the heterogeneity of residents' needs,some urban communities have implemented "micro-governance",a practical innovation of social governance at the grass-roots level.By giving full play to the advantages of multiple cooperation,reducing unit,interest connection,and empowerment,"micro-governance" effectively makes up for the government deficiencies in social management and public services,realizing the refinement,differentiation,flatness and high efficiency of community governance and effectively promoting the participation and multi-governance of the urban community.

Key words: urban community, micro-governance, practice domain, social basis, policy value
