Original title: Oriental Express 丨 Osmanthus Alley was “shaved”, a wake-up call for urban management
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. At this time, in addition to eating mooncakes at the Mid-Autumn Festival, the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus is also a unique memory in the hearts of Chengdu citizens. In Chengdu, Osmanthus Alley, which is across Kuanzhai Alley Road, has become a place for citizens to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival due to the osmanthus trees planted all over the street and the fragrance of osmanthus that permeates the entire street around the Mid-Autumn Festival. But now, the situation in the Guihua Lane scene is very different from before. In recent days, when passing through Osmanthus Alley, many citizens found that the osmanthus trees on both sides of the street had been cut down and transplanted in large numbers. Citizens said, “This is for shaving Osmanthus Alley” (September 8, “Chengdu Commercial Daily”).
The scented osmanthus tree in Osmanthus Alley was originally a beautiful landscape of a city, but it was “shaved”. It is truly a terrible landscape and it is harrowing. The citizen’s phrase “This is for shaving Osmanthus Alley” reveals a lot of helplessness and sadness. This is also a wake-up call for urban management. How to contain the “raw hand” and how to “break mercy”?
It should be said that the osmanthus tree on Osmanthus Lane is protected. According to the “Chengdu Gardening and Gardening Regulations”, trees planted in urban green areas cannot be felled or transplanted in principle, except in special circumstances such as poor quality of trees, low use value and low transplant survival rate. Construction projects that require felling or transplanting of trees belong to large livelihood projects or infrastructure projects. After optimizing the construction plan, if it is really impossible to avoid it, transplantation or felling can be carried out, but the corresponding approval procedures must be processed. In other words, as long as the relevant personnel can strictly enforce the regulations, it is impossible for the sweet-smelling osmanthus tree to be “shaved”. In fact, the construction project did not go through the corresponding approval process and there were violations. If the person responsible is found, he will be penalized accordingly. According to the “Chengdu Landscape Regulations”, a fine or replanting will be required, and the construction project must re-examine its renovation plan. I believe that under the supervision of the functional departments they can be fined or compensated, but the bad effects caused cannot be recovered. It is difficult for citizens to enjoy the laurels this year. They cut and replanted, wasting a lot of labor and material resources.
The osmanthus tree was “shaved”, is that something important? It can be big or small, small, isn’t it just a few trees? It is enough to cut it and plant it again, but it is a microcosm of urban management. The urban management alarm touch system does not work, and it can be clearly reflected if people care about things.
The current “skinhead” of the scented osmanthus tree reveals at least two problems: First, the alarm system fails. When the construction group “shaved the head” of the scented osmanthus tree, why didn’t anyone report it? Why did the functional departments find out after the fact? The consequences of an alarm failure are dire. This is also an important factor that puts city management to the test; second, do the functional departments have a sufficient understanding of the construction part? Can there be an early warning system and can the job be done ahead? Kill it in the bud before the construction group’s “crude construction”?
Urban management involves all aspects, and most of them appear in the form of details. It may be accidental that the osmanthus tree was “shaved”, but is it just a similar incident? Urban management must be separated from “rough hands”, which requires a lot of work to be done in detail and in advance. The “skinhead” lesson of the osmanthus tree must be learned, but how to prevent it from being repeated requires making inferences and city managers must be held accountable. (Wang Junrong)
