Abstract：City streets are the political arena where state and society interact with each other, and also places of modern violence. Above all, they are windows on urban governance. Since late Qing Dynasty, the state power has gradually permeated into city streets dominated by local elites and communities, among which modern urban governance system represented by the police is an important step. The order in the street, to some extent, depends on the ability and methods of the urban government to control street violence. Being the boundary between state and society, street violence will be new topics of interest in the studies of contemporary urban politics. Researchers on urban politics have shifted their focus from national politics and contention politics to street violence and governance. Focus on street violence and governance experience, the study of the state capacity, and experience mechanism analysis will help develop the studies of urban politics.
