Listen to the voice of the people
The transformation plan is selected by the masses, and the old courtyard has a new look.
Dongsi South Historical and Cultural Block of Chaoyangmen Street in Dongcheng District is one of the third batch of historical and cultural blocks announced by Beijing in 2005, and it is a historical block that retains and continues to develop traditional living patterns.
Entering No.45 Courtyard of Shi Jia Hutong, the hanging flower gate between the first and second courtyards divides the courtyards into two parts, the inside and the outside. "In the past, this hanging flower door was worn out, and even sawdust was often dropped!" Zhou Hua, 63, who lives in the backyard, said, "It's fixed now. Looking at my heart is a pleasure. "
Do subtraction
The style protection emphasizes the ancient rhyme, and the century-old architecture is true.
People's affairs are handled by the people themselves, which does not mean that they let themselves go. To expand public participation, it is necessary not only to listen to the opinions of residents, but also to play the role of professionals such as planners and architects.
"Planning guidance and design first is the fundamental follow-up of the environmental improvement of' Hundred Streets and Thousand Alleys' in Dongcheng District." Gao Jianzhong, deputy director of Bai Jie Qianxiang Command Office in Dongcheng District, said that all 17 streets in Dongcheng District have hired responsible planners to formulate street style control guidelines. Both the characteristics of each street and the overall unity of street style are considered. "Doors, windows, walls, signs, plaques, eaves, lines, pipes, covers and greenery", all the transformations were carried out under the guidance of regional style control, realizing the protection and revival of historical and cultural blocks.
At the west exit of Dongsi Sitiao Hutong, an old photo studio a hundred years ago has been renovated for four months, and now it is really true. On both sides of the gatehouse, a pair of gray brick-carved couplets "See the light again". The first part: "The people in the mirror are one and two"; The second part: "The flute is wonderful." There are four big characters on the gate: "Light everything up".
Strengthen weak links
Full coverage of convenience services enhances residents' happiness.
In the Community Cultural Life Museum of No.27 Courtyard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Street, the reporter saw that the 700-square-meter courtyard was divided into 10 independent spaces, each of which displayed items with different theme elements, and the whole courtyard was full of humanistic atmosphere. Mr. Zhang, a resident who is attending cultural activities in the hospital, said: "Various cultural activities are often held here. This hutong that blooms everywhere has become a' paradise' for our cultural lovers. " In the past, this was the office of Dongcheng District Federation of Industry and Commerce, which was closed to the public. After recovering this small courtyard, Chaoyangmen Street used it as a community public cultural space, which effectively made up for the lack of residents' activity space.
"The fundamental pursuit of the" Hundred Streets and Thousand Alleys "action is to improve people's lives, improve people's quality of life, and enhance residents' sense of happiness and gain. "Gao Jianzhong said that in the management of streets and lanes, Dongcheng District has always insisted on where to push forward the action, where to facilitate the people and benefit the people, and where to build the popular support project.
Work hand in hand with the people to solve problems
How to balance the protection of historical and cultural blocks with the improvement of residents' quality of life is a difficult problem to be solved urgently. Many places are either dominated by developers, commercialized seriously, and "homesickness" disappears; Either residents lead, the construction is disorderly, and the style is messy.
Taking "public participation" as the breakthrough point has become a new path to solve the problem of "100 streets and 1000 lanes" environmental remediation in Dongcheng District.
