Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development: Encourage old communities to install elevators and build parking lots.

A renovation involving 1.7 million old residential areas and hundreds of millions of residents will be fully launched. This renovation will improve the municipal infrastructure such as water, electricity, gas and roads in the old community, install elevators, build supporting facilities for garbage sorting, encourage the construction of public activity places, build parking lots, activity rooms and property houses, and improve facilities such as pension, nursery, cultural room, medical care, food aid, housekeeping, express delivery and convenience stores in the community.

All localities are stepping up the transformation of the old city. Yesterday, the State Council Press Office held a policy briefing. At the meeting, Yan Huang, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, revealed that the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will guide all localities to find out the needs of local old residential areas and residents' willingness to renovate, and on this basis, clarify the standards and scope of renovation. And encourage qualified places to install elevators, build public venues and parking lots, and gradually improve facilities such as old-age care, child care and medical care.

The old residential areas that need to be rebuilt in China involve hundreds of millions of residents.

Following this year's "Government Work Report" to make arrangements for the transformation of old urban communities, the the State Council executive meeting recently made arrangements for promoting the transformation of old urban communities. According to preliminary investigations in various places, there are 65.438+0.7 million old urban areas in China that need to be rebuilt, involving hundreds of millions of residents.

Yan Huang introduced that the old residential areas in the city have outstanding problems due to the low original design standards and inadequate maintenance. For example, the pipe network is dilapidated, water supply and drainage, power grid, gas and optical fiber facilities are missing, or seriously aging. There is a lack of public services such as providing for the aged, and there are also widespread problems in culture, entertainment, fitness and storage of motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. In particular, many old communities have a high degree of aging, and the elderly urgently need elevators.

We will find out the types of old communities and residents' willingness to transform as soon as possible.

Talking about the next work plan, Yan Huang said that the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will guide all localities to find out the types of old urban residential areas and residents' willingness to renovate, and on this basis, clarify the standards and scope of renovation of old urban residential areas.

Innovate the investment and financing mechanism for the transformation of old urban communities, and use market-oriented methods to attract social forces to participate.

On the basis of the transformation of old urban communities, we will actively develop community services such as old-age care, child care, medical care, food assistance and cleaning that meet the wishes of the masses. Promote the establishment of a long-term follow-up management mechanism in the community.

Definition of old community

■ Highlights

The transformation of old residential areas must first "guarantee the basics"

The reporter noted that at the end of 20 17, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development started the pilot project of transforming old urban communities in Xiamen, Guangzhou and other cities 15. According to Yan Huang, as of 20 18 and 12, a total of 106 old communities have been renovated in the pilot cities, benefiting 59,000 families.

Yan Huang said at the meeting that the renovation of old residential areas was initially divided into three categories, including maintaining basic supporting facilities, upgrading infrastructure and improving public services.

Yan Huang said that the renovation of old residential areas should start with "ensuring the basics" and gradually upgrade and improve according to the needs. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will further clarify the content of the transformation through extensive research.

Considering the great regional differences, all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities can list the contents that need to be transformed in cities or communities according to the actual situation and the needs of their own cities.

Three contents of the transformation of old residential areas

● Guarantee basic facilities: improve the maintenance of municipal infrastructure such as water, electricity, gas and roads directly related to residents' lives, repair heating facilities in the northern region, install elevators, and build supporting facilities for garbage sorting.

● Upgrading infrastructure: including public places, parking lots, activity rooms and property houses. Where conditions permit.

● Improve public services: improve community facilities such as pension, child care, culture room, medical care, food assistance, housekeeping, express delivery, convenience and convenience stores.

Elevator installation "one floor and one map"

With the increasingly prominent problem of aging in China, although many six-story old buildings can be installed without elevators according to the standard, it is very inconvenient for the elderly to climb stairs.

Yan Huang responded that in recent years, many deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) have been particularly vocal about installing elevators in old residential areas. In fact, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and many other cities have done a lot of exploration and gained some experiences worth popularizing.

She introduced that according to the data reported by various places, in 20 18 years, more than 4,000 elevators were installed in old communities across the country, and more than 7,000 elevators were under construction. This work is in full swing.

Yan Huang admits that there are many specific problems in the process of installing elevators. For example, a six-story building may be willing to install elevators with more than three floors, especially for residents with higher floors. But for the first floor or the second floor, because the demand is not urgent, and it feels that it takes up public space, it may harm his interests more or less.

"These problems exist in the actual situation. The experience of practice in various places is that we must adapt to local conditions, one floor, one plan and one building, and the mass work should be meticulous. " Yan Huang said that the design and engineering scheme of elevator installation should take into account the reasonable demands of residents at all levels as far as possible, and try to maximize the benefits and minimize the impact through meticulous personalized design. In order to seek * * business in residential areas, it is necessary to negotiate, participate and reach an agreement.

Yan Huang pointed out that it is "urgent" to install elevators in old residential areas, and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is vigorously promoting it, but the key is that residents can negotiate to complete it.

■ Ask questions

What should residents do if they are unwilling to pay property fees after renovation?

In the renovation of old residential areas in some areas, many residents do not recognize the cost of services such as property. In response to this problem, Yan Huang responded yesterday that in the past, most old residential areas lacked property management, and residents often did not have the habit of paying services and property fees, which required a process of changing thinking and understanding. Judging from the pilot projects in Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, to solve this problem, we need to strengthen guidance, raise residents' awareness of purchasing services, mobilize residents' understanding and support, and let everyone participate in the transformation from the beginning.

She stressed that in the process of transformation, the government must not do everything, but should strengthen policy support and guide residents to actively participate. Especially for the management of the old community after transformation, due to the different composition of residents in each community, the service charges and service levels provided by different property management models and professional companies are quite different. It is necessary to provide a platform for residents to fully negotiate and form a consensus on the management model and management company chosen by residents.

Yan Huang, for example, said that from the experience of pilot cities, the collection rate of property fees and parking fees in many transformed communities exceeded 80% and 90% respectively.

Elevator installation in 50-year-old buildings in Beijing

Many cities such as Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen have been promoting renovation projects such as installing elevators in old communities.

From June, 2065438 to June, 2007, the first pilot project of adding elevators in old residential areas in Beijing-the outdoor elevator installed in Unit 4, Building 4, Hepingli District, Dongcheng District was put into use.

Hepingli Area 1, built in 1962, is a typical old residential area. The average age of residents living in Unit 4 of Building 4 is over 80, so it is very inconvenient for the elderly to travel and climb stairs.

The relevant person in charge of the Dongcheng District Housing Construction Committee said in an interview with the Beijing News reporter that the installation of the elevator was completed with the consent of all eight households. In the early stage, the relevant departments went to the field to study the situation of the building, the distance between buildings, whether there is a basement and whether it occupies a fire escape. , evaluate the feasibility, and finally formulate the implementation plan.

The elevator adopts the method of ladder charging, and the lower the floor, the lower the charge. Take a six-story apartment with one staircase and three households as an example. Every household pays 100 yuan to 300 yuan every month.
