Abstract：Economic globalization make a huge change in politics, economy and society, this series of changes transform the previous urban institutional environment, and the traditional "top-to-bottom" or "planned" urban management in china is out of date. The modes of urban management become more various and come to syncretize among each other. All the changes of the circumstance necessarily make urban governance become an important topic in the fields of urban study. Jon pierre(1999) have given a typical summary about the models of urban governance in this field. He suggest that the wide variety of urban governance objectives can be reduced analytically to four general models:managerial, corporatist, progrowth, and welfare governance. Soon this summary become the theoretic base of urban governance, moreover has a very deep influence in the urban governance study. Now the economic system of china is transforming from socialist planned economy to market-oriented economy. The prompt development of urban economy gradually make the inadaptability of previous managerial system exposed, which not only fetter the urban economy but also produce a series of serious problems of politics, economy and environment. In the same time, coupled with the rapid development of urban economy and the enhancement of their self economic strength, a lot of urban interest groups come into being which delegate different voice from different colony, and these urban interest groups increasingly attempt to put influence on urban government to maintain their self advantage by their strong economic strength. The change of these two aspects challenge the present urban planning and urban management, at one time it put forward a realistic and urgent task to urban governance study which just develops in china in a short time. So this paper set out from reality, based on the deep study abour the models of west urban governance, and suggest that the main models of urban governance in present china are welfare and progrowth, the correspondence mechanism of urban governance doesn't build up and there lack harmonious combine in each models;urban governance of china need actively develop the models of managerial and corporatist and then gradually put them into practice, at the same time it is also more important to reinforce the communication and integration of the various governance models.
