Abstract

Tailoring public art policies to suit the requirements of urbanization has become increasingly challenging in China as the country celebrates the rapid expansion of cities. This research interrogates how social players work in an interlocked way in public art project further to redefine the public art administration. From the perspective of stakeholder analysis, it evaluates the public policy making efforts of social players to map the path to realize their interests and expectations in the changing social life against the context of urbanization. A stakeholder-based public policy process is therefore presented, emphasizing the nourishment of power by education and value creation so as to redistribute decision-making power in co-building interactions, in which the quality of stakeholder involvement is improved by stakeholder development. Moreover, the study instigates more solid qualitative research on this specific engagement with empirical evidences collected from survey in Hefei city, China.
