From the State Council Information Office press conference report
Street old, yard old, old houses, old facilities, poor living environment is a lot of old neighborhood residents *** with the same annoyance, but also the urban management of the oldest difficulties. How to crack the old neighborhood "four old and one poor" predicament? In the State Council policy briefing held on July 1 in the State Council Information Office, Housing and Urban-Rural Development Vice Minister Huang Yan said, in accordance with the central urban work conference, "Government Work Report" requirements and the State Council executive meeting deployment, comprehensively promote the transformation of old urban neighborhoods.
More than 10,000 elevators were added last year?
According to Huang Yan, old urban neighborhoods refer to residential neighborhoods in cities or counties that have been built for a long time, have outstanding problems with aging municipal facilities, and have more public **** service deficiencies. The main problems are dilapidated pipe network, water and sewage, power grid, gas, fiber optic facilities are missing or aging seriously; many old neighborhoods are not only the lack of elderly, care for young people and other public **** services, motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicle storage and other common problems; lack of property management, public **** environment is generally poor, road damage, private construction, etc..
To add an elevator, for example, such as a six-story building, the higher the floor of the tenants of the elevator the stronger the will to add; but in the relatively less urgent demand for a layer or the second floor of the tenants, the elevator occupies the public **** space, its interests more or less suffered damage, resulting in the elevator to add a generally slow progress.
"In the face of these practical and long-standing problems, the experience summed up through practice around the world is that it must be adapted to local conditions, a building a program, or even a building door a program to do the work of the masses to do a good job." Huang Yan said that the design and construction program of the retrofitting elevator project should try to take into account the reasonable demands of the residents of all floors, as far as possible through careful personalized design, to maximize the benefits and minimize the impact. She also pointed out that the old neighborhoods to install elevators "in a hurry", the Ministry of Housing and Construction is vigorously promoting, but the key to rely on the residents to participate in neighborhood consultations and reach agreement.
The reporter learned that in recent years, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and other cities in the old neighborhoods to add elevators in a lot of positive exploration. "So far, the progress is still relatively smooth, most residents are still quite cooperative, and the results achieved are very promising." Huang Yan said that in 2018, the country's old neighborhoods to add elevators has been completed more than 10,000, more than 4,000 in construction, and more than 7,000 are going through the preliminary procedures, the old neighborhoods to add elevators is being pushed in full swing.
Wide range of large number of residents involved in hundreds of millions of people
It is understood that, at present, the country needs to transform the old urban neighborhoods involved in hundreds of millions of residents, wide range of large amount, and the situation is different. How to grasp the content of the old neighborhood transformation?
According to Huang Yan, the content of the transformation of old neighborhoods is initially divided into three categories. First, the basic facilities. For example, the old neighborhoods and residents living directly related to water, electricity, gas, roads and other municipal infrastructure maintenance and improvement as well as the installation of elevators, garbage classification facilities supporting. Secondly, on the basis of basic protection, we encourage areas with the conditions to build public **** activity venues, parking lots, activity rooms and property rooms in the renovation. Third, to further improve the community's old age, care for children, cultural rooms, medical care, meal assistance, housekeeping, courier, convenience, convenience stores and other facilities and public **** services.
"Considering the large regional differences, provinces, including districts and cities, can draw up a list of what needs to be renovated in cities or communities on this basis, based on the actual situation and needs." Huang Yan said.
Transforming historical and cultural neighborhoods like "embroidery"
Some of the town's old neighborhoods are located within the boundaries of historical and cultural districts, which carry a lot of precious historical memories. As to how to coordinate the relationship between the transformation of old neighborhoods and the city's historical and cultural heritage, Huang Yan said it is important to treat the historical heritage well and carry out fine construction, operation and maintenance.
Huang Yan pointed out that in the future, the repair, maintenance and renovation of eligible historical and cultural neighborhoods can be promoted in coordination with the renovation of old urban neighborhoods. She also stressed that the transformation of historical and cultural neighborhoods is different from the general transformation of old districts, in particular, should follow a few key points: First, the historical and cultural neighborhoods to retain more historical information, in the transformation process should be done to ensure that all the protection, to avoid "a demolition, big demolition and construction"; Second, some of the historical and cultural neighborhoods of the local, small-scale transformation of the efforts Secondly, there are some local and small-scale transformation efforts in some historical and cultural districts, which should be coordinated with the overall landscape in the process of transformation and design; and thirdly, to promote the protection by rational utilization.
"The most crucial thing is to promote the renovation and repair of historical and cultural neighborhoods like 'embroidery', to treat these very valuable historical heritage, from construction, design to operation and maintenance should be refined." Huang Yan said.
