CCTV News: In order to solidly and orderly promote the implementation of urban renewal actions, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development stated yesterday that various regions should take urban physical examinations as a prerequisite for urban renewal, improve the level of urban planning, construction, and governance, clarify the bottom line requirements for urban renewal, and prevent large-scale demolition and construction.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development stated that various regions should establish urban physical examination mechanisms, from housing to residential areas, communities, blocks, and urban areas, to identify difficulties, bottlenecks, and pain points that are strongly reflected by the public, and make the problems and shortcomings found in urban physical examinations a key focus of urban renewal. Based on the results of urban physical examinations, delineate urban renewal units, establish project libraries, and clarify project implementation plans and arrangements. At the same time, we will strengthen the guidance of refined urban design and establish a mechanism for multiple stakeholders such as the government, enterprises, property owners, and the public to participate in urban renewal.
In addition, in the process of urban renewal, various regions should clarify bottom line requirements, prevent large-scale demolition and construction, strengthen the protection and inheritance of historical and cultural heritage, do not arbitrarily change old place names, do not destroy the traditional pattern and texture of streets and alleys in old urban areas, do not arbitrarily relocate or demolish historical buildings and old buildings with protective value, do not damage terrain and landforms, do not cut down old trees and existing trees with local characteristics, do not dig mountains and fill lakes, and do not arbitrarily change or occupy river and lake water systems.
