Beijing released the urban renewal action plan, focusing on promoting the earthquake-resistant and energy-saving renovation of one million square meters.

Cctv newsAccording to the website of Beijing Municipal People’s Government, Beijing Urban Renewal Action Plan (2021-2025) (hereinafter referred to as the Plan) was released today (August 31st).

The Plan defines six types of projects. Through the implementation of urban renewal, it focuses on improving the quality and efficiency of the existing space resources in urban built-up areas, and does not engage in large-scale demolition and construction. Apart from the transformation of urban shanty towns, in principle, it does not include housing expropriation, land expropriation, land reserve, real estate development and other projects. The urban renewal action is effectively connected with the special action of relieving and rectifying and promoting promotion, and the spatial resources of relieving and retreating are planned and utilized.

(1) Application for rent withdrawal, protective repair and restoration of bungalows (courtyards) in the functional core area of the capital. Target and task: By 2025, 10,000 households in bungalows (courtyards) in the functional core area of the capital will apply for rent withdrawal and 6,000 households will be repaired.

Adhere to the principle of "guarantee to guarantee", promote the protection and renewal of the old city bungalow area, and restore the basic pattern of traditional quadrangles. Continue to promote the application-based rent withdrawal of bungalows (courtyards), dismantle illegal construction, make rational and efficient use of vacated houses, improve supporting functions and improve the living environment. Implement protective repair and restorative construction, build a "symbiotic courtyard", explore ways to improve the diversified living environment, and guide the organic replacement of functions and the harmonious coexistence of residents. We will promote the authorization of the management right of directly managed public houses and actively introduce social capital to participate in the renewal. After the restoration construction is completed, the district government can entrust a property service enterprise by purchasing services or establish a property management mechanism in the bungalow area through other forms.

(2) Renovation of old residential areas. Target and Task: By 2025, we will strive to complete the renovation task of 160 million square meters of old residential areas that need to be renovated before the end of 2000 in the city, focusing on the comprehensive renovation task of 5 million square meters of earthquake resistance and energy saving in the city, the renovation task of 31 million square meters of energy saving and the renovation projects with strong public willingness, and cooperate with the renovation task of 60 million square meters of old residential areas in Beijing.

Insist on doing our best and doing what we can, and implement the transformation of old residential areas in a way that combines top-down tasks with bottom-up projects. Reasonably determine the transformation plan, continuously improve the project repository, bring the mature conditions into the scope of implementation, transform according to the basic category, perfect category and upgrade category, and implement them in a rolling manner. In accordance with the "double inclusion" working mechanism, we will cooperate with the transformation of old residential areas at the same level of central and state organs, as well as the transformation of old residential areas in Beijing by their affiliated institutions and central enterprises. Carry out mass work in depth, adhere to the principle of voluntary residents, give play to the role of owners and owners’ committees, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of residents to participate in the transformation. Bring the old community into the category of community governance, and improve the long-term management mechanism of the community through transformation. Actively explore the multi-party financing model for the transformation of old residential areas, popularize the "Jinsong model" and "the first experience", and improve the market-oriented implementation mechanism. According to residents’ wishes, we can make use of the current legal houses and public spaces in the community to supplement public service facilities, and encourage the use of Kugaji, illegally vacated land and underground space to build convenience service facilities. Focus on the transformation of old residential areas in the core area. Actively and orderly promote the installation of elevators in existing multi-storey residential buildings.

(three) the housing reform of dilapidated buildings and the renovation of simple buildings. Objectives and tasks: By 2025, the housing reform of 1 million square meters of dilapidated buildings and the retirement and renovation of simple buildings will be implemented.

Conduct a thorough investigation of dangerous old buildings and simple buildings, establish ledgers, and formulate renovation plans by classification. For dilapidated buildings that meet the planning requirements, renovation, reconstruction or appropriate expansion are allowed. If conditions permit, the scale of the building is appropriately increased, kitchen and bathroom facilities are fully equipped, and underground space, vacated space and idle space are rationally used to build supporting facilities. For simple buildings that do not meet the planning requirements and are located in key areas and historical and cultural blocks, residents are encouraged to vacate and move out to improve their living conditions. Dangerous old buildings and simple buildings should introduce standardized and market-oriented property management mechanism through reconstruction and vacating.

(four) the transformation and upgrading of old buildings and traditional business districts. Objectives and tasks: Carry out performance evaluation of old buildings and traditional business districts, fully consider the safety, performance and comprehensive contribution rate of buildings based on big data analysis, strengthen communication and consultation with owners and investors, establish ledgers, and formulate renovation plans and annual implementation plans. By 2025, we will focus on promoting the renovation and upgrading of inefficient old buildings of about 5 million square meters and complete the renovation and upgrading of 22 traditional business districts.

Encourage the renovation and upgrading of old buildings to meet the development needs of modern service industries such as scientific and technological innovation, financial management and business services. Improve the architectural design level and architectural performance, and strive to build a safe, intelligent and green smart building. Dig deep into the stock of idle old buildings, encourage them to be transformed into dormitories and apartments for urban operation service support personnel, and promote the balance between occupation and residence.

Encourage traditional business districts to carry out all-round transformation and upgrading around industrial structure adjustment, business format optimization, space quality improvement, marketing model innovation, regional brand building, fine management services, and improved openness, so as to expand new scene applications, tap new consumption potential, and enhance urban vitality. Promote functional mixing, innovate service supply methods, and fill shortcomings. Encourage the participation of diverse social capital, improve the initiative of innovation and transformation of owners and transformation institutions, and promote the establishment of a self-sufficient "hematopoietic" mechanism for renewal projects.

(five) inefficient industrial park "cage for birds" and the renovation of old factories. Objectives and tasks: To evaluate the industrial parks that need to be renovated or upgraded, as well as the industrial parks and old factories that belong to the industrial restricted catalogue, do not meet the requirements of safe production and ecological environment, and are idle and inefficient. Establish a ledger and make an annual plan. By 2025, we will promote the renovation of 700 old factories and inefficient industrial parks in an orderly manner.

Actively support the renewal of existing inefficient industrial parks, use the vacated space to build an industrial collaborative innovation platform, and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Establish a positive and negative list system for the planning and use of industrial parks, deconstruct non-capital functions, develop new industries and formats, gather innovative resources and cultivate emerging industries.

Fully tap the historical, cultural and contemporary value of industrial remains, improve the policies for the transformation and utilization of industrial remains, guide the use of old factories to build new infrastructure, develop industrial formats such as modern service industries, supplement regional public service facilities such as education, medical care and culture, and build new service consumption carriers such as tourism, entertainment and recreation.

(six) the transformation of urban shanty towns. Target and Task: By 2025, 134 shantytown renovation projects in transit towns will be basically completed, and 30,000 households will be renovated.

Taking improving people’s living conditions as the starting point and the end result, we will accelerate the transformation of urban shanty towns and realize the gradual write-off of projects in transit. Strictly control the scope, standards and costs of transformation, and start a number of urban shanty towns transformation projects with strong people’s willingness to transform. Make full use of the special debt for shed reform, study the overall balance mechanism of funds, promote land supply by stages, and realize rolling development. Coordinate the construction sequence of resettlement houses, plan and construct municipal infrastructure such as water, electricity, gas and heat simultaneously with resettlement houses, and ensure that the demolished people are resettled on schedule.
