Abstract: The micro-renewal of urban small and micro public space focuses on people's daily needs and life communication, emphasizing the “people’s participation” governance mode. As China steps from the incremental stage to the stock stage in urban construction, the micro-renewal of urban public space has gradually shifted to focus more on spatial reconstruction, public participation and community activation, and the spatial care is materialized in community governance, human needs and social relations. Aiming at the comprehensive problems in the process of urban public space renewal, this research, guided by people’s needs and practical issues, and taking public space design as the breakthrough point, discusses the relationship between urban public space renewal and social governance, as well as the adaptive strategies of social governance. It systematically puts forward feasible social governance approaches for micro-renewal of small and micro urban public space landscape from the perspective of the people and society, which are reflected in the social and cultural governance, social demand governance, social vitality governance, hierarchical governance and mechanism governance of the public space.
