Recently, the website of the Standing Committee of the Guangzhou People's Congress released the "Guangzhou Parking Lot Regulations (Revised Draft, Second Deliberation Draft, Solicitation of Comments Draft)" to solicit opinions and suggestions from all sectors of society. One of the regulations is particularly noteworthy: if the parking lots and office spaces of state organs, state-owned enterprises, and public institutions in this city are managed separately, they should be opened to the public in an orderly manner during non working hours and clearly marked. Relevant parking space information is integrated into the parking information management system. As soon as this regulation was released, it quickly sparked widespread attention and heated discussions. The online public opinion generally welcomes and supports this new regulation, believing that it is a practical measure to face the pain point of "parking difficulties" in the city and implement precise policies. The reality is indeed like this: in many core areas of cities where the "night economy" is active, such as bustling commercial districts, popular scenic spots, food districts, and pedestrian streets, there is a strong demand for night time parking, which is often "hard to find"; At the same time, the parking lots of neighboring government agencies, state-owned enterprises, and public institutions are largely idle during non working hours. Guangzhou plans to revitalize the idle parking resources within the government system and release them to society in an orderly manner through institutional innovation, targeting the pain points of people's livelihoods and striving to accurately alleviate the parking difficulties of citizens. Parking management may seem like a "small matter" in urban operation, but it actually involves multiple interests and is not easy to do well. Its core lies in balancing the guarantee of the main functions of public institutions and maximizing the utilization of public resources. Looking at the new regulations in Guangzhou, their institutional design reflects this balancing wisdom: on the one hand, strict restrictions have been imposed on openness - the time limit is set at "non working hours", and the conditions require "separate management from the office space". The core purpose of these restrictive clauses is to ensure that the main functions, safety order, and work efficiency of public institutions are not disrupted during normal working hours. On the other hand, the new regulations adopt the mandatory expression of "should" in the opening requirements, rather than the commonly used flexible wording such as "encourage" and "advocate". This means that once the regulations are officially implemented, eligible government agencies, state-owned enterprises, and public institutions will assume legal obligations and must open their eligible parking lots in accordance with regulations, without using various reasons to evade or evade, significantly enhancing the implementation and constraint of policies. The high attention and positive evaluation of the new regulations in Guangzhou by the public essentially reflects a deep recognition and eager expectation for building a service-oriented government. In recent years, there have been frequent reports of "warm news" such as the government opening up public resources to benefit people's livelihoods: during holidays, many government agencies have opened their doors and free internal parking lots to alleviate the parking pressure on citizens and tourists; During peak tourism periods, some government agencies open staff canteens to provide affordable meals for incoming tourists from other places; During the busy wheat harvest season, some township police stations voluntarily hang heartwarming banners at their entrances that read "The police station gate is open for the people, welcome to dry grain"... These seemingly small measures contain profound changes in governance concepts. Proactively opening up public resources by government agencies is not only an effective way to solve specific livelihood problems, but also a vivid interpretation and concrete practice of the governance concept of "putting the people first". The matter of 'parking' may be small, but it should not be taken lightly. It is like a mirror, which can clearly reflect the effectiveness and refinement level of government public governance, as well as the attitude and style of the government in solving the urgent and difficult problems of the masses. In March of this year, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Further Ensuring and Improving People's Livelihood and Focusing on Solving the Urgent, Difficult and Worried Problems of the Masses", which made top-level deployments from multiple dimensions such as enhancing social security fairness, improving the balance of basic public services, expanding the universality of basic livelihood services, and enhancing the accessibility of diversified social services, pointing out the direction for solving various pain points and difficulties in people's livelihood. The regulations proposed by Guangzhou are a positive response and beneficial exploration of this central spirit in specific fields. We sincerely hope that more cities can learn from Guangzhou's experience, actively study and promote the orderly opening of public resources such as parking lots that meet the conditions by government agencies, state-owned enterprises and institutions. Through institutionalized arrangements, we can activate existing resources, optimize public service supply, effectively solve the problems and worries of the masses, and make them feel more convenient and comfortable in their daily lives, constantly writing a new chapter of "people's cities for the people".
