Gas, electricity, drainage, heating and other supporting infrastructure has become the focus of the transformation

Out of sight

-- Investigate potential security risks in supporting infrastructure, and map out the gaps in people's livelihood facilities

The "old" and "old" of the old community are not only reflected in the specific age of the building, but also hidden in many "invisible places".

"The installation of elevators, hardening of the road, these are 'visible places', and' invisible places' should also become the focus of the transformation." When it comes to the transformation of old residential areas, Chen Jun, a resident of an old residential area in Haidian District, Beijing, said so. The community where Chen Jun lives was built in the early 1980s. Due to the age of the building, the supporting facilities of the community have problems such as aging drainage facilities, low heating temperature, and slow optical fiber network speed. Taking drainage facilities as an example, the upper and lower water pipes in the building are made of cast iron, which is aged and rusted seriously, and there are water leakage and other phenomena. "Every time the water supply is restored after the water is stopped, the water is brown-red and mixed with gravel, and it takes a long time to restore the clarity." The corrosion of the pipes has affected the water quality. My family does not burn tap water to drink or cook with." Chen Jun said.

For the gap in people's livelihood facilities, the residents of the old community also have a strong desire to transform.

"The building door is five steps higher than the ground, but there is no barrier-free facilities, which is particularly inconvenient for elderly people in wheelchairs and crutches." There are many old people and children in the community, and there is a lack of nursing care facilities." Wang Shuzhen, who is over 80 years old and lives in a residential area built in the 1990s in Chaoyang District, Beijing, now has a problem: "We are a ladder of two households, some owners simply occupy the public space outside the elevator, partition, storage of debris, feeling very unsafe, but the property has no law enforcement power, and now it has become a 'big trouble' problem." Wang Shuzhen said.

These "invisible" and "difficult to see" places contain not only the basic transformation content such as municipal supporting facilities, but also the improvement content to meet the needs of residents' convenience in life, and the improvement content of rich public services, which is the focus of the next stage of the transformation of old residential areas.

The notice requires the investigation of gas, electricity, drainage, heating and other supporting infrastructure, as well as public space and other possible security risks; Find out the gap in facilities such as elderly care, childcare, parking, convenience, and charging piles. On this basis, the above facilities will be prioritized as a key content.

Ren Xingzhou, a researcher at the Research Institute of Market Economy of the Development Research Center of The State Council, told this reporter that the renovation of relevant facilities in the old community is a systematic project including the early project approval, mid-term construction, and late management and maintenance, and the early planning is in place and the residents are well explained and guided, which is an important prerequisite for the transformation. In the process of specific implementation, we must also adhere to local conditions, classified policies, and strive to achieve one policy in one place and one policy in one community. "Finding out the situation, identifying the shortcomings, and first striving for practical results in the transformation process will greatly improve the sense of gain and happiness of residents in the old community." Ren Xingzhou said.

Build, update, and manage well

-- Strengthen the supervision during and after the event, implement professional property management, and improve the long-term management mechanism

Making up the short board of supporting facilities in old residential areas is a complex and meticulous project involving a wide range of areas.

"We hope to change the cast iron pipe into PVC (polyvinyl chloride), but this is really a big project, to change the whole series, need someone to organize coordination, unified action." Of course, it also requires a lot of money." Chen Jun told reporters that in order to solve the problem of aging drainage facilities, the strength of individual owners and property companies is far from enough, and multiple subjects need to form a joint force in all aspects in order to achieve "both symptoms and root causes."

Wang Shuzhen said that when the facilities are built, they should also be managed, which requires improving the service management capabilities of the community, property and related departments. "There is not only a lack of parking Spaces in our community, but also disorderly management. Some have no households at all, while others have many. Over time, many residents lack trust in facility managers."
