What does it mean to stop building closed residential quarters and implement block system?

Many netizens expressed their views on "promoting the block system and gradually opening closed communities and unit compounds". To sum up the opinions discussed on the Internet, one thing is basically the same, that is, the block system is affirmed. At the same time, some netizens have doubts.

We believe that: first, the block system is a summary of the world's urban planning experience and a common practice in developed countries; Second, there are indeed problems in closed communities and unit compounds, which mainly affect the layout of road networks and form "T-shaped roads" and "broken roads", which is one of the important reasons for traffic congestion and also affects the travel of community residents. Therefore, the "Several Opinions" put forward that "the block system should be promoted in new residential buildings, and closed residential quarters will no longer be built in principle. Completed residential quarters and unit compounds should be gradually opened to realize the publicity of internal roads, solve the problem of traffic network layout, and promote land conservation. "

In the process of understanding and implementation, we should pay attention to the following points:

First, we should understand the word "step by step" carefully and comprehensively. "Step by step" means to have a plan and priorities, not "across the board" or "rushing headlong into action", and it can't be simply understood as "knocking down the fence".

Second, the "Several Opinions" put forward directional and guiding requirements for this work, and detailed rules should be formulated in the specific implementation, especially the provinces and cities should formulate specific measures according to the actual situation. In the process of formulating measures, we must listen to the opinions of the public.

Third, gradually open cities with closed communities and unit compounds, take into account various actual situations and interests, handle various interests and residents' demands according to laws and regulations, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of residents.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development hopes to fully and accurately grasp the spiritual essence of Several Opinions, correctly understand the original intention of the document, and do not misread it. Only by comprehensively and accurately understanding the spirit of the document can we better implement it.

In accordance with the unified arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is earnestly conveying the spirit of studying the central city work conference, and striving to do a good job in urban planning and construction management to make people's lives better.
