Original title: Embroidery efforts, let the residents of the old courtyard live a modern life, within three years-Dongcheng will renovate more than one hundred “beautiful courtyards”
In September 2020, Dongcheng District will select the pilot bungalow courtyards for a “micro-renovation”, and in December 44 “beautiful courtyards” with picturesque styles and livable environments will be unveiled. On November 23, it was learned from the Dongcheng District Urban Management Committee that Dongcheng will begin another two rounds of renovations. Residents, designers, streets and all sectors of society will participate in the embroidery effort, a hospital and a policy from 2020 to 2022. During the year, more than 100 “beautiful patios” were renovated and updated.
From 2017 to 2019, Dongcheng District will be improved by managing “100 streets and thousands of alleys”, with 171 streets and 1,004 renovated lanes and alleys, exuding old charm and new charm. As of 2020, the beauty extends from the streets to the courtyard. Through extensive early consultation and multiple rounds of design proposals, Dongcheng District officially launched the renovation of 44 “beautiful courtyards” in the district in September, involving Qianmen, Jingshan, Andingmen, Jiaodaokou, Donghuamen, Dongsi. and Chaoyangmen. A total of 7 streets are selected for each street based on the situation of the patio and the opinions of the neighbors. The “micro-rectification” will be carried out in four aspects: dismantling of illegal constructions, sanitation of sanitary corners, improvement of convenience facilities and strengthening of autonomous management, which will benefit 502 Casa neighbors. Courtyard No. 205, Chaoyangmen South Street is one of them.
On the morning of November 23, the weather was good. At the entrance to Patio No. 205, the master builder was laying the last small piece of floor tiles. Under the round manhole cover at his feet was a newly installed Johkasou. “Let’s take a look, this Johkasou is installed, there are 12 households in the hospital, and decades of toilet problems have finally been resolved!” In the center of the courtyard, resident Chen Lijun basked in the sun and sipped tea, happily introducing himself. Delving into the patio, the gray tiles on the floor and walls are newly paved. The entrance and the corners of the patio are refreshing and refreshing, which is completely different from the scene when I visited it four months ago. At the time, piles of materials, broken earth and potholes could be seen everywhere in the courtyard, and various renovation ideas, such as the construction of johkasou and latrines, remained in the drawings.
Where will the patio be changed? How to change it? It can be as large as introducing toilets and changing the floor, as small as a clothes rail, a variety of potted flowers … The whole process of transforming the “beautiful courtyard” invites residents to play the leading role. In the first half of 2020, city planners and designers came to request opinions on many occasions. Neighbors made 6 suggestions to solve the difficulty of going to the bathroom, drying clothes and increasing the space for rest. Especially, the voice of the bathroom difficulty solution was the loudest. “Since I live in this courtyard, I have to go to the public toilet in the Hutong 500 meters away, which is particularly inconvenient,” Chen Lijun said. This kind of big problem was solved in the yard renovation, and implementation details, such as pipeline direction, Johkasou selection, and sanitary facilities, were discussed round after round. In the end, 8 transformation measures were formally formed and landed which included the addition of purification tanks, the installation of mobile planting ponds, rest corridors and combing flight lines.
At this time, the hardware renovation of patio No. 205 is nearing completion and the “beautiful patio” is about to emerge. After the beginning of spring in 2021, residents will arrange green plants together to add vitality to the yard.
In addition to No. 205, the 44 “beautiful courtyards” that will begin construction in 2020 will be implemented step by step, allowing not only the residents of the old courtyards to live a modern life, but also each with its own beauty. At present, the Dongcheng District Urban Management Committee is requesting a new batch of “beautiful courtyards” renovation intentions of all the streets of the district in 2021. From 2021 to 2022, it will continue to renovate the old courtyards in accordance with the intentions of the residents and the royal courtyards. It is expected to include the appearance in late 2020. A total of more than 100 “beautiful patios” will be renovated, including 44 patios.
The renovation has given the courtyard new life, but to be beautiful for a long time, it must be ruled by the residents. Next, Dongcheng District will set the standard of “beautiful courtyard”, extend the convenience of maintenance, cleaning and cleaning and other property management services of the cottage area from the streets to the courtyard, and at the same time guide the residents to establish autonomous organizations such as yard management committees and self-management committees to jointly build and share Hermosa casa.
