This study aims to investigate how to utilize both public-private partnerships to improve social benefits and social responsibilities based on the concept of civil society. Two represent- ative districts from Taiwan and China were chosen for comparison – Taipei Da-An District and Shanghai Yang-Pu District. Taipei and Shanghai are very similar cities in a way that both are fast-developing and globalizing cities. In order to provide a more comprehensive social benefit plan for all the residents in the city, not only do the residents need to be well taken care of, it is also important to make the residents proud of their own city. Hence, the objective of this study is to investigate how these two cities take care of their under-privileged minority groups and their strategies to improve the general well-being of each individual.
