Since 2023, Yuyuan Street has officially launched the special work of "Comprehensive Management of the Human Settlement Environment of the People's Building", covering small and micro projects such as the renovation of smart garbage bin rooms, the construction of pocket parks, wall painting, fitness venues· the construction of good neighborliness, and the renovation of surrounding roads. These measures are not only a "meticulous carving" of the quality of life of residents, but also a "vivid interpretation" of the people's city concept in the grassroots governance of Yuyuan Street.
In 1987, the People's Building of Yuyuan Street was erected on the bank of the Huangpu River, which is a mature community in the prime area of the last century. After nearly 40 years of baptism, the People's Building has precipitated a unique historical charm, and gradually highlighted some problems, such as aging equipment and facilities, limited public space, poor surrounding environment, etc. Among them, the aging of fire-fighting facilities, the difficulty of charging non-motorized vehicles, and the blockage of sewage pipes have become the three main "heart diseases" that plague residents. In 2024, with the launch of the special work of "Comprehensive Treatment of Human Settlements in the People's Building" in Yuyuan Street, this building has successively played a "trio" of environmental improvement.
Sewer Cleaning:
Open up the "two pulses of appointment and supervision" and "discharge" the troubles of residents
Located at No. 875-879 Renmin Road, Huangpu District, the People's Building consists of two 17-storey houses with a total of more than 160 residents. If you step into the community from the back door of Liuquan Lane, the first thing that catches your eye is a lush privet tree. The privet tree is lush with leaves, like a giant green umbrella, adding a touch of vitality and vitality to the community. The vigorous privet has an unusually developed root system, and over the years its rhizomes have silently extended in places that are not easy for people to notice, weaving a vast and intricate underground network.
"The roots of this privet tree are growing very strongly, and the entire sewer is densely packed, all of them are wrapped together, and the sewage can't be discharged, and when it rains, the traffic here stinks!" As the saying goes, water is good for all things, and seemingly small pipes are closely tied to the quality of life of more than 160 residents. After receiving feedback from residents, Yuyuan Street quickly contacted relevant functional departments and organized professionals to carry out pipeline network mapping as soon as possible, so as to accurately grasp the layout and blockage of pipelines. At the same time, the street fully consulted with the residents and decided to relocate the privet tree to ensure that the root cause of the problem was solved and no hidden dangers were left.
"Last year, the sewer at home began to reflect sewage, choked my nose, and reported to the neighborhood committee, and visited the door to inspect and repair it several times, and finally found that it was a problem with the main pipe. Now it has been repaired for half a year, there is no peculiar smell in the house, the air is refreshing, and the people are cheerful" During the return visit, a resident living on the second floor expressed great satisfaction with the repaired sewer.
Fire Protection System Updates:
Make up for the shortcomings of fire protection and "increase" the safety of the masses
The fire pump room of the People's Building is located in the public area on the first floor of the community, and residents will pass by every day when they enter and exit. Through the window, it can be seen that the fire pump and valve are old and aging. These visible fire hazards are only the tip of the iceberg of the entire fire protection system in the community, and it is understood that problems such as insufficient pressure on the roof fire pipes, lack of backup power supply, and damage to some check valves are also potential safety hazards. Residents' desire to upgrade the fire protection system has become increasingly urgent, but due to objective reasons such as the use of funds and the lack of support from supporting policies, the renovation plan of the People's Building has been repeatedly shelved.
In order to gnaw the "hard bones" of fire safety, in 2024, Yuyuan Street will combine the special action of Huangpu District to "solve problems and forge ahead with hard work to promote development", and work with relevant departments to carry out the comprehensive management of the people's building human settlements for many times, forming a working model led by the street party working committee and coordinated and co-governed by multiple departments, and the crux of the problem will be solved through "management and enforcement linkage". In the process of promotion, the representatives of the District People's Congress actively played a leading role, participated in residents' forums for many times, assisted relevant departments to jointly publicize the necessity of fire protection facilities and maintenance of high-rise buildings, and gradually guided residents to form a consensus on transformation.
Safety is no small matter. After comprehensive research and judgment, the original fire hydrant at the entrance and exit of No. 875 Renmin Road that affects the entry and exit of residents was displaced, and the two old horizontal multi-stage fire pumps that have been used for many years were updated to vertical multi-stage centrifugal fire pumps, which not only occupy a small space but also are corrosion-resistant. After the replacement of the fire pump, the roof fire rod valve, pressure gauge and other fire-fighting facilities have also been completely replaced, and new dual-power switching electric cabinets, emergency lighting facilities, newly installed filters, pressure gauges and other fire-fighting facilities have effectively strengthened fire safety. "I often brush the electric car charging fire in my mobile phone, and I am always worried, but now I have installed fire-fighting facilities and learned to use fire extinguishers, and my heart is finally down-to-earth!" A series of operations have given residents a lot of peace of mind. In addition, the street also mobilized the cadres of the neighborhood committee, the party members of the building group and the members of the miniature fire station to carry out household publicity to the residents of the community, distributed fire extinguishing equipment to the residents of the building and explained the use of fire extinguishers to the residents, so as to promote the overall improvement of the fire protection system and residents' fire awareness in the community.
Charging Carport Upgrade:
Guided by the needs of residents, the idle space is cleverly transformed into a carport
"It used to be a public area, but now it's planned to be turned into a new carport, not to mention how surprising." Aunt Li returned on an electric car with the vegetables she had just bought. Before going upstairs, Aunt Li parked the electric car in the newly built non-motor vehicle charging carport at the entrance of the community, "You can charge it directly when you come back from grocery shopping, which is both worry-free and reassuring." ”
Before the renovation, the electric bicycles used by the residents of the People's Building for daily travel have been parked in the public area of the entrance and exit on the first floor, which is messy and has great potential safety hazards, and the orderly planning of non-motor vehicle charging spaces and other problems need to be solved urgently.
To this end, Yuyuan Street fully listened to the wishes and voices of residents, and carried out many opinions and suggestions consultation forums through the zero-distance home platform, integrating public opinion and wisdom into the overall renovation plan. After fully consulting the residents, the street built a total of 25 charging piles (50 charging ports) on both sides of Renmin Road and Liuquan Lane of the People's Building, which not only met the "rigid needs" of the residents for non-motor vehicle charging, but also effectively curbed the problem of non-motor vehicle random parking, non-motor vehicles or battery home and other potential safety hazards. It is gratifying that during the construction period, the majority of residents gave full cooperation and support, showing a high sense of responsibility and community cohesion.
"Good governance, good deeds". Community renovation is a "key small matter" at the doorstep, and it is also a "major matter of people's livelihood" at the grassroots level. Yuyuan Street always pays attention to the opinions of residents, making each renovation plan the "greatest common divisor", opening up the "last mile" of urban grassroots governance, and writing a more vivid footnote for the people's city concept.
