Yuchuan Lucheng old community renovation "big household"

　　On April 14, the State Council convened an executive meeting. It was proposed that 39,000 old urban communities will be renovated this year, involving nearly 7 million residents, a doubling of last year. The focus will be on residential areas built before the end of 2000.

　　It is found that among the 22 provinces that have announced the goal of renovating old communities, Henan ranks first with not less than 500,000 households, Sichuan follows with 463,000 households, and Shandong ranks third with more than 400,000 households.

　　In Henan, a few days ago, the provincial finance issued a provincial subsidy of 300 million yuan to support cities and counties to accelerate the transformation of old urban communities. It is reported that this subsidy will be mainly used for the construction and renovation of supporting infrastructure such as water and gas supply in the community and public service facilities such as elderly care and child care, renovation of public areas in the community and energy-saving renovation of buildings, and support for the expenditure of conditional installation of elevators.

　　In March this year, the Shandong Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued a response to Recommendation No. 20190290 of the Second Session of the 13th Provincial People ’s Congress, which mentioned that the renovation and reconstruction tasks for old communities built before 1995 will be basically completed by the end of 2020. .

　　Zhang Dawei, chief analyst of Centaline Real Estate, pointed out in an interview with the client of Sino-Singapore Jingwei that, from a national perspective, the renovation of old communities is a huge market, and there is a demand for renovation and upgrading of a large number of existing housing. This can not only bring investment, but also improve the quality of life of residents.

　　Kerry Research Director Ma Li believes that due to various factors, the progress of the renovation of old communities in some places is relatively slow, and a lot of "historical debts" have been accumulated. Some provinces have previously steadily promoted the transformation of old communities through real estate projects and special government governance measures, so different provinces have different transformation goals.

What is transformed into? Where does the money come from?

　　On April 16, the State Council Office held a regular briefing of the State Council ’s policy on the renovation of old urban communities. Huang Yan, deputy minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, pointed out that the location conditions, residential population structure, and problems to be solved of each community are different. , So the content of the transformation is also different.

　　For example, Huang Yan said that the installation of charging piles and elevators, the addition of public event venues, elderly care and food service, the addition of parking facilities, child care services, convenience stores, and courier service points have all become the needs of old community transformation.

　　Huang Yan said that in terms of fundraising, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance have arranged central subsidies since last year. On the other hand, encourage the participation of social forces to help improve the supply of public services in the community, and take the long-term operating income of service facilities as a profit point.

　　Huang Yan emphasized that up to now, 31 provinces, municipalities and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have all started the preliminary work on the projects that are planned to start. For projects that have been started and need to continue construction, in addition to the closed management of the community and those that have not entered the construction season Projects in other parts of the region are being resumed in an orderly manner.

　　Guo Shiying, an analyst at Zhuge Fangfang Data Research Center, told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client that this year ’s executive meeting of the State Council has clarified the source of funds for reconstruction, and established a mechanism for the government, residents, and social forces to share reform funds in a reasonable manner. The government's special debts are given preference, and social capital is encouraged to participate in the transformation and operation. Earlier, the National Convention has twice mentioned "delivering special bonds in advance." This year, the government will increase financial support for special bonds for the renovation of old communities, which will help promote the transformation of old communities in the future.

　　Xie Yifeng, president of the China Urban Real Estate Research Institute, believes that part of the funds in old communities may come from central and local financial allocations, and part of the funds will come from community owners and housing companies. At the same time, it does not rule out the introduction of third-party funds, such as insurance, fund trust, bank credit, etc.

Expert: The policy should be refined, not "one size fits all"

　　Talking about how to better carry out the renovation of old communities, Zhang Dawei admitted that the biggest problem facing the renovation of old communities now is not only the source of funds, but also the coordination of interests, especially the installation of elevators, how to avoid the loss of some people ’s interests, These all require policy refinement, not simply "one size fits all".

　　Zhang Dawei also said that renovating old communities is not just a public welfare undertaking. In the end, what kind of community to choose and how to participate in these owners are also urgently resolved.

　　Xie Yifeng also pointed out that the renovation of old communities should be carried out in batches.

　　Guo Shiying suggested that in the renovation of old communities, it is still necessary to listen to the opinions of residents and not start construction blindly to avoid negative impacts.

　　Ma Li believes that the transformation of old communities should involve market forces to form a win-win situation for residents, enterprises and the government. At the same time, the renovation work should also consider the public facilities and public service needs of each community in the district from the perspective of the district, rather than focusing solely on the community's own water, electricity, and parking issues.
