Good neighbor living room
Pushing open the brown-red retro door, you will see a dark green tin mailbox, a vibrant potted plant, a warm and lovely reading corner, and the words "Good Neighbor Living Room" are particularly eye-catching on the snow-white wall......
Recently, the Tieling Building on Siping Road Street ushered in a gorgeous turn, and the hall on the first floor has been transformed into a "good neighborly living room", which has become a good place for residents to hold activities, chat about homely things, read newspapers and play chess. Some residents who have lived in the building for more than 30 years sighed: "Seeing this once chaotic place become our common living room, not to mention how excited I am!" It feels like the whole building comes alive. ”
The power of residents' self-government is strong,
Turning a "parking shed" into a "neighborly living room"
Built in the early 90s of the 20th century, the Tieling Building is home to 142 households, and the lobby is the only entrance. Due to the early construction period and the lack of public facilities, the lobby has become a place for residents to park their electric vehicles over time, which not only affects the aesthetics, but also buries potential safety hazards.
"At that time, the whole lobby was very old, and it looked gray, and there were electric vehicles on both sides of the door, and it was very crowded to enter and exit, and it was not safe to look good." Some residents said frankly.
The lobby of the residential building is a public space that residents pass through every day before going out and going home, which affects the mood of residents every day and the atmosphere between neighbors. How to decorate the residents' beauty throughout the day through the lobby environment? With this in mind, a residents' self-government group was set up to discuss each other on a case-by-case basis.
After the joint discussion of the residents' self-government group, it was decided to name the renovation project "Good Neighbor Living Room" and start the renovation. Subsequently, the group adhered to the principle of "residents raising their own funds, supplemented by government subsidies", regularly organized residents' meetings, solicited renovation opinions, and coordinated the construction progress, becoming their own "big housekeeper", which fully stimulated the residents' enthusiasm for participation and sense of ownership.
After months of careful preparation and construction, on August 16 this year, the first shovel of soil was excavated and landed, and the "Good Neighbor Living Room" project of Tieling Building, which residents were looking forward to, finally officially started. Subsequently, on September 26, the "Good Neighbor Living Room" was successfully completed, and the residents of the building smiled and walked hand in hand into a more harmonious and warm new era of self-government.
whole-process people's democracy,
Make the transformation more "desirable"
After the completion of the hardware renovation of the hall, the optimization of software such as facility layout became a major issue. Under the leadership of the general party branch of the residential area, the residents' self-government group closely united with the residents and worked together to make suggestions for the design and construction of the hall - a love corner for wheelchairs and a book drifting corner for donating books...... Even every piece of furniture in the brand new council hall was donated by residents.
At the same time, the project also invited teachers and students from Tongji University to join, based on a professional perspective, on the one hand, to provide advice for everyone, on the other hand, carefully designed promotional materials, etc., which are beautiful and educational, and greatly enhance the sense of belonging and happiness of residents.
"The 'Good Neighbor Living Room' is not just a transformation of a space, it is more like a link that connects the hearts of every resident. We give full play to our own advantages in the middle, gain a lot, and grow a lot. Xiao Cheng, a student from the School of National Politics of Tongji University, said.
"Every step of the way, from the initial preparation to the completion of the project, has been challenging, but seeing the active participation and enthusiasm of the residents, we feel that all the efforts have been worth it." Zhu Shihong, the leader of the autonomous group, said happily, "Now with everyone's participation, the more the living room is renovated, the more satisfactory it is!" ”
Some residents bluntly said that the "Good Neighbor Living Room" is not only a change in physical space, but also a catalyst, which stimulates the residents' yearning and pursuit of a better life, and also makes everyone more convinced that as long as everyone thinks in one place and works hard in one place, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
Although it is an old building, the love of neighborhoods has become more and more precious in the long river of time. What was once a chaotic hall has now been transformed into a "neighborly living room" that connects the neighbors' feelings, and every subtle change is a deep confession of the residents' "home" through self-government. They use their practical actions to interpret the beautiful vision of "building a 'concentric garden' with one heart and one mind".
The completion of the "Good Neighbor Living Room" has opened a new chapter in the autonomy project of the residential area of Siping Road Street. Next, the street will continue to adhere to the idea of "organization leading, party member demonstration, service first, and joint governance", and use "party building + environmental Tongji + community autonomy" to stimulate the vitality of grassroots party organizations and party members, focus on the outstanding issues that the masses are generally concerned about, start from the issues that the masses are most concerned about, and start from the most realistic interests, so as to truly benefit the "people's livelihood" and "people's hearts".
