Abstract: In the new era of development, grassroots governance and community forms have experienced
significant changes. Playing a leading role in addressing competence deficiency and resource integration
shortage that diverse governance entities have been faced in tackling community issues, Party building has
become a key way to effective grassroots governance in uncertain contexts. An analysis of a typical case of
elevator installing in Q Street of S City reveals that those challenges in grassroots governance which cross
different levels, departments, blocks, and boundaries are more likely to become the focus of Party building
leadership. Party building leadership is effective in using governance tools to address governance issues with
effectiveness, thus ultimately forming a logic of“generative governance”, which goes beyond the“State-
society”binary opposition in traditional grassroots governance. Generative governance regards the generation of
governance problems, paths and effectiveness as governance scenarios different from the“preforming”ones,
and pays more attention to subjectivity, process and creativity. It attends to the continuity and accumulation of
Party building leadership in different stages of grassroots governance, and emphasizes the generation process
and relationship between governance entities in grassroots governance, thus achieving an effective integration of
Party governance and Party service functions.

Key words: generative governance, Party building leadership, grassroots governance
