The 15-minute community life circle planning is the new model for providing community public services in China. As the national pilot zone, Shanghai has constructed community life circles since 2016. However, the existing research shows that people’s needs in the life circle are not met and a huge disparity in the supply of community facilities exists between the center city and the suburban areas. This paper reviews the history of China providing community public services and examines the changes in the value of community governance. Taking Shanghai as an example, this paper conducts research and spatial evaluation, summarizes the existing mismatch, and proposes an alternative community life circle model focusing on improving collaboration among government, market, and civil organizations, rather than adjusting fixed physical parameters. This paper aims to provide a reference for further research on community services supply to promote a more inclusive and equitable built environment.
