Release time:Apr 16, 2024 21:47 PM

The Nanjing West Road commercial district is one of the iconic areas for the development of Shanghai's building economy, and also one of the most fashionable and international commercial districts in Shanghai. In recent years, Jing'an District has accelerated the pace of urban renewal, providing further support for the high-quality development of the Nanjing West Road commercial district. Jincang Wenhua Square has transformed into a high-quality Grade A office building, and Zhangyuan, the "Number One Garden on the Sea," has become a model for the revitalization, utilization, and functional renewal of Shikumen architecture. In the future, a number of iconic urban renewal projects such as the urban terminal, Meilong Town Square, Henglong Square Phase II, airport urban terminal, and Jing'an Temple sunken square will be unveiled.

On the 19th, the "High quality Development in Shencheng" series of municipal government press conferences held a special session in Jing'an District. The reporter learned from the meeting that Jing'an District is striving to become a functional highland for a new round of comprehensive opening up and an important gateway for Shanghai to allocate global resources.

Nanjing West Road aims for a "billion dollar commercial district"

Jing'an District is one of the most open urban areas in Shanghai to the outside world. Jing'an District Party Secretary Yu Yong revealed that in 2022, Jing'an's total foreign tax revenue was 44.78 billion yuan, accounting for 56.56% of the total tax revenue. Both indicators have ranked first in the central urban area for several consecutive years.

The agglomeration of high-energy headquarters economy is the cornerstone of the open economy in Jing'an District. Jing'an District has introduced a total of 120 regional headquarters of multinational corporations, 23 private enterprise headquarters, 14 trade oriented headquarters, and 10 foreign-funded research and development centers, ranking among the top in the central urban area. In recent years, Jing'an District has been focusing on improving quality, expanding capacity, empowering and increasing efficiency, continuously improving policies to promote the headquarters economy, strengthening service guarantees for headquarters enterprises, and continuously enhancing the development level of the headquarters economy.

"On the one hand, we will focus on multinational corporations, support the upgrading of China's headquarters to Asia Pacific and global headquarters, and encourage the upgrading of single functional headquarters to a multifunctional and composite direction with overlapping new trade, investment decision-making, and fund management. On the other hand, we will focus on local enterprises, and strive to attract more domestic or secondary headquarters and overseas headquarters to settle in Jing'an. We will actively create a private enterprise headquarters gathering area in Shibei Park, gathering a group of iconic and high-energy private economy leaders and functional institutions." Yu Yong said. In 2018, Jing'an District took the lead in proposing the "Implementation of Global Service Provider Plan". At present, Jing'an District has gathered 78 global service business opportunities, including 43 high-end professional service institutions worldwide. They provide strong support for multinational companies to deeply cultivate the Chinese market and for local enterprises to expand overseas layout.

This year, Jing'an District has further promoted high-level opening up. Nanjing West Road is one of the top commercial districts in Shanghai, gathering over 2000 well-known domestic and foreign brands, of which more than 70% are internationally renowned brands. It is the preferred commercial district for international brands to enter the Chinese market. The total retail sales of the Nanjing West Road commercial district reached 80 billion yuan last year. On this basis, Jing'an District proposes to strive to achieve a total retail sales of over 100 billion yuan in the Nanjing West Road commercial district within three years, and take the lead in building a "100 billion yuan commercial district" in the city.

After the revitalization of historical buildings, a magnificent turn

High quality carriers are the carrying space for high-quality development. Jing'an District is located in the central urban area, with relatively scarce land resources. In recent years, Jing'an District has been driven by urban renewal for spatial expansion and industrial iteration and upgrading. Jing'an District Mayor Wang Hua revealed that since the 14th Five Year Plan, Jing'an District has expanded over 1.3 million square meters of commercial office space.

We have created a number of business and commercial complexes with complex functions, high-end formats, and concentrated elements, accelerating the iteration and updating of industrial functions. For example, in the Nanjing West Road area, Jincang Wenhua Plaza has transformed from a well-known five-star hotel in Shanghai to a high-quality Grade A office building. The first Four Seasons Hotel in mainland China is being transformed from a single hotel into a comprehensive building that integrates high-end office, hotel, and commercial functions. In the future, buildings such as the urban terminal, Meilong Town Square, and Mostar Mall will also showcase a brand new look.

The central and two wings of Jing'an District were once a typical old industrial base in Shanghai. Jing'an District revitalizes and utilizes these industrial relics, injects technological innovation and cultural creativity functions, and promotes the revitalization of the old industrial zone. For example, the Daning region has revitalized existing industrial resources such as Shanghai First Machine Tool Factory, focused on emerging industries such as film and television esports, chip design, and smart health, and created a "science and technology innovation+cultural and creative" characteristic industrial park; The Shibei International Science and Technology Innovation Community will retain the original site of Pengpu Machinery Factory, which covers an area of about 40000 square meters, while constructing a 130 meter high commercial building to accelerate the layout of strategic emerging industries such as cloud computing, big data, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. In the future, the Zoumatang area, blower factories and other plots will strengthen digital empowerment and enhance innovation concentration on the basis of protecting industrial heritage.

Jing'an District has a rich historical and cultural context, fully tapping into the distinctive cultural characteristics and context of the city, and promoting the revitalization and utilization of historical buildings. For example, Zhangyuan has preserved 170 historical buildings and opened the western district last year, integrating traditional Shanghai style culture and international fashion culture. Together with the future eastern district, it will create a model for the revitalization, utilization, and functional renewal of Shikumen architecture; The century old buildings of Shenyuli and Tianhou Palace, which have been renovated along the Suzhou River, complement the modern Suzhou River Bay Center. In the future, the Four Rows Warehouse "Light Three Branch Library" will collide with the world's top photography art museums to create artistic sparks; On the basis of protecting the local customs and red memories, Dongsi Wenli will build a global asset management center, creating a new highland for the development of world-class waterfront areas and a new landmark for cultural inheritance.

Focusing on "old, old, and young difficulties" to enhance people's well-being

The foothold of high-quality development is people's livelihood. In recent years, Jing'an District has focused on the concerns of the people, such as "old, old, small, and difficult", filling the gaps and improving well-being, so that the vision of "international Jing'an and excellent urban area" truly falls into the hearts of the people.

Focusing on the needs of housing and people's livelihood, Jing'an District fully completed the task of renovating large areas of secondary old buildings in 2020, and launched sporadic secondary old building renovations at the end of that year, with a total of 47 plots and nearly 140000 square meters. At present, 31 projects have been launched, benefiting 1883 households. At the same time, 18 complete renovation projects for old housing have been completed, benefiting approximately 6000 households. Especially recently, the largest small beam and thin plate housing renovation project in the city, Fangua Lane, achieved 100% contract signing and 100% relocation, and construction will begin within the year.

Focusing on the demand for urban elderly care, Jing'an District continues to increase the supply of elderly care beds and service facilities, and takes the lead in forming a "happy life circle" with street and town coverage, balanced layout, and reasonable hierarchy in the city. There are 30 elderly care institutions, 23 community comprehensive elderly service centers, 18 elderly care homes, 28 day service centers, and 95 elderly meal assistance service venues in the entire district, with a maximum daily meal supply capacity of 14700 customers. Jing'an District is the first in the city to promote the "Five Bed Linkage" model in all elderly care institutions and district level medical institutions, providing integrated services such as hospitalization during treatment, nursing during rehabilitation, and stable care, so that more elderly people have access to medical care, care, and peace of mind.

Focusing on high-quality and balanced development, Jing'an District strives to provide education that satisfies the people. Last year, Jing'an took the lead in building community childcare "baby houses" in Jiangning Road Street. Currently, 10 embedded "baby houses" have been built in elderly service centers, party and mass centers, industrial parks, and commercial districts, achieving full coverage of streets and towns within the year.

Focusing on solving problems for the people and striving to optimize the supply of public services. For example, in response to the difficulty of employment, we will continue to optimize the service mechanism by establishing 100% "one person, one file", providing 100% personalized services, and recommending 100% suitable positions; In response to the difficulty of seeking medical treatment, we will accelerate the standardization construction of software and hardware facilities in regional medical centers and community health service centers.

"Thank you so much! I was really anxious and came to give it a try. Unexpectedly, you really helped me handle it!" The person who said this was Ms. He, a citizen who went to the reporting window of the Jinshan District Medical Insurance Center to seek help. It is understood that in May this year, Ms. He was eager to transfer her personal medical insurance to other provinces and cities.

But at that time, Ms. He's original employer had just transferred her pension insurance, and if Ms. He wanted to continue paying in other provinces and cities, she had to complete the medical insurance transfer procedures in May, otherwise it would affect her subsequent normal use of medical insurance and social security. After verifying the situation, the staff at the reporting window of Jinshan District Medical Insurance Center reported that they were unable to complete the task and immediately contacted Jinshan District Social Security Center
