Environmental construction shapes the soul of the city
Every morning, in the Ronghu Lake and various neighborhoods, groups of elderly people playing taijiquan, dancing folk dance, living a happy life. 1999, Guilin City, to carry out large-scale urban renovation, has demolished 15,000 households, demolished building area of 11 million. The city has demolished 15,000 households, dismantled 1.1 million square meters of building area, effectively relocated more than 40,000 people, and built five squares for large-scale public gatherings and activities, such as the Center Square, Jiaworld Square, and Xiangshan Square. After years of hard work, the city's green space area expanded by 534,200 square meters, the amount of green increased, the environment has been beautified, the public, tourists, more places to go.
Water is the soul of the city of Guilin. 1999 August, Guilin City began the Mulong Lake, Cedar Lake, Gui Lake, Ronghu Lake and Li River, Peach Blossom River to communicate with the city's water system project, that is, the "two rivers and four lakes" of this large-scale ecological environment and landscaping, infrastructure construction project, which lasted 2 years and 10 months, relocated 1891 residents, 56 units, and relocated the residents to the city. It took 2 years and 10 months to relocate 1,891 households and 56 units, demolish 174,800 square meters of old buildings, cut 7.83 kilometers of diversion canals, and excavate 1.4 million cubic meters of earth, so as to make the Li River and the Peach Blossom River communicate with the inner lakes and form a water system around the city. At the same time, the new planting of more than 11,600 trees, 84,000 shrubs, ground cover plants more than 3 million plants, plant varieties of more than 210 kinds of new green space of more than 300,000 square meters, so that the water system around the city to maintain the evergreen, flowers in all seasons, to create a good ecological and landscape, naturally integrated into the urban space, become the center of the city of a series of open ecological parks and green space, recreate Guilin City, the "thousands of peaks around the field of standing, the Peach Blossom River and the inner lake communication, the formation of the ring of the city water system. "It has become a series of open eco-parks and green spaces in the city center, recreating the beauty of Guilin city, which is surrounded by thousands of peaks, and embraced by a stream of water.
Trees are the spirit of Guilin, and since 1998, Guilin has seized the opportunity of building "green corridors" by the National Greening Committee to organize and implement a series of green parks linking the city's Liangjiang International Airport Road, Guilin-Yangshuo Highway, Guilin-Huangshahe Highway, Guilin-Huangshahe Highway, and Guilin-Huangshahe Highway. After 2002, the construction of 12,000 hectares of artificial afforestation in the Li River basin was completed, and 16,700 hectares of forests were closed. After 2002, we completed 12,000 hectares of artificial afforestation in Li River basin, 16,700 hectares of forestation, replanting and replanting of greening trees on both sides of Xiaodong River and Taohua River, the greening rate of the inner river in the urban area has reached 99.29%, and the forest coverage rate of the Li River basin has reached 59.9%, and we have organized the masses of cadres and cadres, army commanders and students to carry out the voluntary planting activities on Guiyang Highway and Airport Road, and have built the greening belts of 63 kilometers and 26 kilometers of Guiyang Highway and Airport Road, respectively. According to Guilin Highway Management Bureau statistics, by the end of 2006, the city's territory of professional management of highway greening mileage of 1,363.16 kilometers, has been greening 1,352.25 kilometers, greening rate of 99.2%.
Urban highway 301.68 kilometers, can be green mileage of 211.05 kilometers, has been green 206.04 kilometers, greening rate of 97.63%. The greening rate of lakes and railroads in the city has reached 95%. Basically formed a highway, waterway, railroad forest network, building a green corridor.
Environmental remediation of the whole landscape green city
Shi home, the past a near-famous dirty community, in the city, district party committees, the government attaches great importance to investing 25 million yuan in the district to rectify the Shi home infrastructure and the environment has been greatly improved, "the road is not flat, the lights are not clear, the rain and sewage flow, rain flooding, municipal mismatch, walking and living unsafe". The situation of "road unevenness, lights are not clear, rain and sewage mixed flow, rain flooding, municipal mismatches, line residence insecurity" has become history.
The changes in the Shi home is only a small microcosm of the comprehensive improvement of the environment in Guilin City in the past 10 years. From 1997 onwards, the small watershed pollution remediation projects, sewage treatment projects, garbage disposal projects, urban and rural cleaning projects, energy saving and emission reduction and other environmental projects have been launched.
In 1998, the municipal government issued a notice of limited treatment, ordered the water pollution of large households to carry out limited treatment work. After years of hard work, all the city's wastewater discharge, urban enterprises discharged into the Li River sub-basin of the total chemical oxygen demand cut by 40%. At the same time, a large-scale comprehensive environmental remediation project has been carried out in the small watersheds of the urban centers. By carrying out comprehensive remediation in the small watersheds, the key sources of pollution have been discharged in accordance with the standards, the enterprises that seriously pollute the environment have been closed down, and the quality of the water of Xiaodongjiang River has been restored from the inferior fifth category to the standard of protection of the water function zoning (the fourth category), and the water environment of the small watersheds has been improved. Since the merger, the municipal government invested nearly 200 million yuan, renovation and expansion of four sewage treatment plants, 15 sewage pumping stations, and additional sewage pipe network, so that the sewage treatment capacity of 228,500 cubic meters per day, the daily sewage treatment capacity increased by 20%. 2006, the domestic sewage treatment rate of 75.61% from the original 81.25%, and the first to use the ultraviolet light on the region's "mid-water". "The quality of treated water reaches the national secondary discharge standard, which can be directly used for irrigating farmland and fish farming, and plays an effective role in protecting the golden waterway of the Li River for tourism. Guilin urban sewage treatment rate has been in the forefront of the country since 10 years.
In recent years, Guilin has also paid close attention to the routine management of environmental sanitation to prevent littering. At present, Guilin City, the full implementation of cleaning cleaning responsibility system, to ensure that the cleaning cleaning rate of 100%, 100% of urban living garbage removal rate, 100% of harmless garbage disposal rate; door-to-door service built-up area coverage rate of 100%.
"Tenth Five-Year Plan", Guilin City, energy saving and emission reduction on the important agenda, to adjust the industrial structure and industrial pollution prevention and control combined with urban renewal and industrial park construction and industrial pollution prevention and control combined with technological transformation and industrial pollution prevention and control combined with the implementation of the old sources of pollution in the urban area to carry out the relocation of the transformation, according to the law. The old pollution sources in urban areas have been relocated and reformed, and seriously polluting factories (workshops) have been closed in accordance with the law. In accordance with the principle of "prevention first, protection first", new sources of pollution are effectively controlled, and constructive ecological damage during construction is avoided. By speeding up the elimination of outdated production processes and equipment, freeing up environmental capacity, supporting the development of high-tech industries, promoting technological transformation and product replacement, all-round promotion of cleaner production, the control of pollutant emissions throughout the entire process of production, from the end of the treatment to the source and the whole process of prevention and control of the production process changes, effectively improve the utilization rate of energy and resources to achieve optimal allocation of resources. At the same time, Guilin City, 46 key cities in the country's environmental protection and comprehensive environmental improvement of the quantitative assessment of the evaluation for many years in a row, of which the air quality rate of 100% for 10 consecutive years from 1997 to 2007, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has always been ranked first in the city examination.
