The "Pocket" Philosophy of Linyi
Ren Yubo, commentator of Volkswagen Daily
A park, named after a pocket, can be imagined in size.
Take a walk on the streets of Linyi, there are many pocket parks like this. Strolling in your pocket, you will find flowers, green plants, benches, landscape stones, fitness equipment, and more, forming a delicate corner of the street and community. It can be said that although a sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. A total of 170 pocket parks will be built in Linyi in 2022, and an additional 240 are planned to be built this year.
The pocket is not big, but fortunately it is close to the body and convenient. Pocket parks like Liuqing Quanxue Park, Shengzhuang Shiguang Park, and Yinque Hongfeng Park are easy to reach when you leave the community. For ordinary people, parks are not limited in size and can provide a natural, open, and comfortable resting place for everyone. Dancing and taking walks can bring a real sense of relaxation, which is enough.
But don't be fooled by the small pockets, the articles to be written are not small. What are the ways to build a pocket park in Linyi?
Building a park requires land, where does the land come from? Based on the actual needs of the masses, Linyi fully utilizes the illegally demolished land and idle land around the old city community and residential areas, and determines the site selection and scheme design of Pocket Park. In this way, illegal green buildings were demolished, old green buildings were demolished, and green spaces were inserted into every crevice. The park was built at the doorstep of the people, and the "scraps" of the past city were turned into golden corners and silver edges.
Building a park costs money, can't we afford it? Relatively speaking, the investment in comprehensive parks is relatively large, sometimes requiring one or two billion yuan, which puts a lot of pressure. However, pocket parks are different, and some can be built with an investment of one or two million yuan. If you are rich, you will work hard; if you are poor, you will work hard. Linyi has comprehensively utilized fiscal funds, special bonds, and innovatively introduced social capital, ensuring the normal progress of the project through various means.
Today's city has bid farewell to large-scale demolition and construction, and entered a stage of intensive cultivation. The construction of new cities is relatively easy, but the difficulty lies in the renovation of old cities. Recently, there have been many reports on supervision in this area. In some places, due to difficulties in site selection and demolition, park construction has been repeatedly delayed, leaving old city residents with nowhere to go for leisure walks; Some even built parks in the new urban area, where they were built but were far from the common people, making them more attractive than useful; Some even borrowed money to engage in construction, making big investments that ultimately turned into image projects, seemingly gaining face but actually losing the benefits.
It can be seen that cities need to be updated and developed, and how to create small and exquisite, small and beautiful articles is also a discipline. It takes a lot of thought to see the big picture in small details and the essence in small details. From the construction of Linyi Pocket Park, the concept of serving the people is solid, and the operational methods are specific and feasible. Any step that is not well planned may not be successful. As the saying goes, being a dojo in a snail shell is not a condition, but a way to do it!
Let mountains and rivers be seen in the "pocket", homesickness be remembered in the "pocket", and happiness be filled in the "pocket". The "pocket" philosophy of Linyi, with the concept of benefiting the people, the practice of correct political achievements, and effective experience in urban renewal, is very rich in content and worth learning well.
