Social public governance strengthens the cooperative negotiation mechanism,and in the case of urban housing demolition and relocation in China,also strengthens a common understanding of cultural values among local government,business and social organization and civil individuals. Institutions play an important role in solving the problem of social conflicts and clashes in urban housing demolition and relocation,but so do cultural beliefs. Through a lack of emphasis on cultural values,governments respond in an ineffective way to conflicts that arise from unjust and unequal distribution,resulting in a distortion of cultural ethics,clashes between developing the economy and improving the people’s livelihood,and challenges to modernization. So,in order to solve the problem of social conflicts and clash in urban housing demolition and relocation,it is very important to understand and transform cultural values not only for government and business and social organizations,but also for residents.
