The yellow tones are elegant and the roses are fragrant. Residents are relaxing and exercising in the square... The Tianjin Xincun Community, located in Gulou District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, was built in the 1980s and is a typical old community.
Once, people's impression of it is that the facilities are old and the environment is poor.
But in the past two years, it has achieved a beautiful "transformation" and a new look.
The change of Tianjin Xincun Community is a microcosm of Nanjing's continuous promotion of the renovation of old communities.
As an important part of urban renewal, from 2016 to 2021, Nanjing has renovated a total of 1,390 old urban communities, with a construction area of 37.81 million square meters, 12,427 houses, and 438,000 beneficiaries; in 2022, it plans to renovate old communities 128, involving 36,900 households.
Ask the people, discuss and build together
From "old and broken" to "new home", what is the experience of the successful transformation of Tianjin Xincun Community?
"Where and how to transform, the residents have the final say." Jia Hui, director of the property office of Ninghai Road Street where the community is located, introduced that in the whole process of transformation, the residents of the community played the main role.
In July 2019, at the renovation plan meeting attended by representatives of the street community, design companies, and residents, the "folk designer team" made its debut.
The team includes retirees, enterprise managers, professional and technical personnel, etc., who jointly make suggestions for the transformation of the community.
Tianjin Xincun Community is located near the historic district, close to colleges and parks.
"It is necessary to provide residents with a space that is more harmonious with the surrounding environment and has a more cultural atmosphere, so as to improve the living experience of residents." Cui Shuping, a member of the community's "folk designer team", suggested that efforts should be made to solve problems such as insufficient vitality and unclear cultural characteristics in old communities.
According to everyone's suggestions, the community pays special attention to the consistency with the location characteristics during the renovation process: the gate of the community is made of steel structure aluminum plate and brown-yellow columns, reflecting the elegant style of the historical block; young and energetic.
Nanjing adheres to the people-centered approach and strives to make the transformation results benefit more people.
The Beiyuan Community of Yao'an New Village, Yaohua Street, Qixia District, was also built in the 1980s and has a high proportion of elderly residents.
From the start of the renovation at the end of 2020 to the completion of the construction at the end of 2021, the sub-district community has innovated to formulate a guarantee responsibility system, and the party members of the department are "subcontracted to households", visiting households, conducting discussions and research, organizing several meetings of residents' representatives, and collecting dozens of opinions and suggestions. Most of them revolve around the theme of age-appropriate transformation.
"The aging-appropriate renovation of the old community is a people's livelihood needs reflected by many people, and it needs special attention." Wang Yonghuai, secretary of the Yaohua Street Working Committee, introduced that according to the actual situation and residents' suggestions, a 200-square-meter elderly care center was planned and constructed in the community. More than 30 service items such as meal assistance and consultation are provided; fitness equipment, leisure pavilion corridors, and barrier-free parking spaces have been added to facilitate the masses to exercise and travel.
Taking multiple measures simultaneously, livable and practical
"Opening the window now makes me feel very good!" Lin Defeng, a resident of Ganghongyuan Community in Qinhuai District, lives on the second floor, and the "air spider web" in the community has troubled her for a long time. , there is a risk of electric leakage and fire due to thunder and rain.” Not only that, after these cables enter the building, they are connected to the electrical boxes in a disorderly manner, and residents may bump their heads when they enter or exit the building, which is very unsafe.
Residents of the community have repeatedly reported the cable problem, but it has not been resolved before.
The reason is that the cables belong to different units, and communication and coordination are difficult.
In May 2021, things ushered in a turning point - Ganghongyuan Community was renovated, and the "pole line underground" was included in the remediation work.
Zhou Jun, chief of the comprehensive planning department of Nanjing Qinhuai Real Estate Management Co., Ltd., who presided over the renovation of "pole line underground", introduced that trenches were excavated in the early stage, and the buried line plan was connected with the companies in charge of tap water, gas, rain and sewage diversion, etc., and the communication operators were coordinated in the mid-term. , connect the new lines to the homes of different residents, and later remove all the original "spider webs".
In the corridor where the meter is removed, sensor lights are installed to facilitate residents to go up and down the stairs.
"Through the renovation, the facade of the community is clean and the corridors are orderly." Zhou Jun said.
Zhang Xunshi, deputy director of Nanjing Property Service Guidance Center, introduced that in the process of renovation of old communities, many communities, like Ganghongyuan, have simultaneously implemented projects that are convenient for the people, benefit the people and benefit the people.
Among them, the simultaneous promotion of the existing residential elevator project has solved the problem of inconvenience for residents in many old communities to go up and downstairs.
Aunt Xu, who lives in Tianshunyuan Community, Jiangdongmen Community, Jianye District, is the beneficiary of the elevator installation project in the existing residence.
In 2019, when the community piloted the installation of elevators, Aunt Xu was the first to sign up. "After communication, the neighbors quickly reached a consensus on installing elevators. The government subsidized part of the construction costs, and the elevators were built that year."
"Elevators have been installed in all 14 units of the community." Hu Wei, Secretary of the Party Committee of Jiangdongmen Community, introduced that the community also refreshed the corridor railings, added handrails, and set up barrier-free ramps.
According to statistics, since 2016, Nanjing has installed a total of 1,226 elevators.
Equal emphasis on construction and management, long-term governance
At the end of last year, the Tiantan Xinyu Community, Yueyahu Street, Qinhuai District, completed the renovation of the old community. At the beginning of this year, a new property company, Hengzhao Property, settled in.
When Chen Tingshu, the deputy general manager of the company in charge of the property management of the community, walked into the community for the first time, he was quite surprised that no one was handling the domestic garbage and it was scattered all over the place.
Why is there such a problem in the newly renovated community?
After the garbage was cleared and transported, Chen Tingshu asked the residents about the situation.
It turned out that the residents of the community were dissatisfied with the services of the previous property company, some owners owed property fees, and the community management fell into a vicious circle.
"We give full play to the advantages of 'red property' to drive residents' self-management, and realize equal emphasis on community renovation, construction and management." Chen Tingshu introduced that there are many party members in the community property team and management committee. The "Red Property Platform" co-organized by the event.
The 11 buildings and 572 households in the community are divided into 30 grids, each grid is headed by a party member of the community.
Chen Tingshu introduced that the newly built playgrounds and the additional garbage sorting bins during the renovation of the community are managed by a joint consultation and co-governance model. The grid leader and the resident volunteers take turns on duty, and cooperate with the community property to ensure the residents' fitness and safety, and the community environment is clean and tidy. .
Technical support also played a big role.
After the renovation of No. 41 Yongyuan District, Meiyuan Xincun Community, Xuanwu District, a digital intelligent platform was introduced, and a camera capable of capturing the motion trajectory of high-rise parabolic objects was installed; the car sensor in the elevator can intelligently sense the phenomenon of electric vehicles entering the elevator and provide timely feedback… …
"Urban renewal action is a systematic project. Technology has improved the level of refinement of services, and guided community residents to develop civilized habits, so that residents have a better living experience and a stronger sense of gain in urban renewal." Hao Qingqing, Secretary of the Party Committee of Meiyuan New Village Community Say.
