Behind the Nanning parking fee controversy: Running a city is also a business. Nanning Huibo Parking Company is operating at a loss, and the rising parking fees have caused public complaints. At the same time, Zibo dismantled its parking fee system in an attempt to make the city more attractive. The practices of the two cities reflect different urban management philosophies. Hefei has successfully achieved urban management by investing in companies such as BOE. However, when evaluating urban management, attention should be paid to all stakeholders to ensure that urban management is better, more stable, and more sustainable.
