What is the relationship between the two places? , the construction permit of Jiashan, Zhejiang is stamped with the seal of Qingpu, Shanghai, at the junction of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang

Viewed from the air, the junction of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang is at the Taipu River. On the Taipu River, a building has begun to take shape. There is a construction nameplate next to the construction site. In the construction address column, there is no road name or plot number. "Shanghai City, Zhejiang Province, and Jiangsu Province are two provinces and one city where the administrative boundaries intersect." Click” is all there is to it.

This building is the Fangting Water Courtyard. On May 18 last year, the Executive Committee of the Yangtze River Delta Ecological Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone, together with the governments of Qingpu in Shanghai, Wujiang in Jiangsu, and Jiashan in Zhejiang, jointly approved the "Detailed Land and Space Plan for the Water Village Living Room", clarifying that the Water Village Living Room will build a "one point" , one center, three gardens, three districts, three roads, and multiple villages” spatial structure. Among them, "one point" is Fangting Water Courtyard. On May 24 last year, the construction of Fangting Water Yard started.

On May 24, 2023, the construction of Fangting Water Yard started.

With the drawings now in place, people can already imagine what the Fangting Water Courtyard will look like after it is completed - the overall building adopts a courtyard shape, with Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui themed exhibition spaces set up at the four corners, and the four spaces are connected by three pedestrian bridges. “It takes a quarter of an hour to visit Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it takes one day to visit Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.” This slogan put forward by the Executive Committee of the Yangtze River Delta Demonstration Zone has been widely circulated and is quite appropriate.

Today, the main structures of the Shanghai Pavilion and Jiangsu Pavilion in Shanghai and Jiangsu respectively have been completed, and the pile foundation construction of the main hall, Zhejiang Pavilion and Anhui Pavilion in Zhejiang has been completed. The north pedestrian corridor structure is closed. It is planned that the two pavilions and three bridges north of the Taipu River will be completed in October this year, and the overall project will be fully completed in May next year.

The construction body of Fangting Water Institute is the New Development and Construction Company of the Yangtze River Delta Integrated Demonstration Zone. On May 27, 2021, Changxin Company was officially unveiled. It is invested in equal proportions by Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and one city, with equal shares and equal rights. This state-owned company was born with its own "integration gene" and became the "vanguard" on the front line of integration.

Integrated development means sewing the edges into a whole. To stitch the edge of the Yangtze River Delta, perhaps the Fangting Water Courtyard under construction can be regarded as the first button. When this button is buttoned, the effect of "1111>4" will gradually appear. Changxin Company felt the most profound about this process.

A construction permit from Jiashan, Zhejiang Province is stamped with the seal of the relevant department in Qingpu, Shanghai. The construction address is "Zhonghu Village, Xitang Town, Jiashan County, Qingpu District, Shanghai."

Some people who don’t understand the situation may have questions: “Is Jiashan, Zhejiang Province, transferred to Qingpu, Shanghai?”

Qingpu in Shanghai and Jiashan in Zhejiang are still two independent administrative divisions. Behind this special construction permit is actually a set of integrated mechanism exploration.

Fangting Water Courtyard is the first cross-domain and cross-provincial housing construction project in the country. "It's very rare to cross districts. Who would build a building in two districts? If nothing else, how do you put the house number?" said Jiang Feng, project manager of Fangting Water Yard of Changxin Company. Before working in the demonstration area, he had been undertaking projects in Shanghai Caohejing Development Zone. Even though he had rich experience, he was confused at first about how to deal with various problems encountered in cross-domain projects.

If the procedures are divided according to region, three teams will be formed and built separately, "and they may 'fight' with each other." Jiang Feng said that different construction units have different management methods for the team, different construction rhythms, and the quality of project construction will also be different. Moreover, when buildings are built layer by layer, the construction speed of both sides may not be synchronized, and they have to wait for each other. Delay the project progress and affect the delivery time.

If the cross-domain project is to be promoted as a whole, there are still many links that need to be straightened out.

On May 20, 2021, the Yangtze River Delta Integrated Demonstration Zone New Development Construction Co., Ltd. was officially established.

As the project investor and construction entity, Changxin Company came into being. "Fangting Water Institute has a pure 'integrated pedigree' since the beginning of the project." said Zhu Yiyuan, deputy secretary of the party committee and general manager of Changxin Company. Changxin Company was established by two provinces and one city in equal proportions, with equal shares and equal rights. The company's chairman, chief supervisor, and financial director adopt a "rotation" model, and the operation and management team is recruited and established in a market-oriented manner. It is composed of state-owned assets of Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province. The Commission entrusted the supervision of Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Fangting Water Institute is one of the core projects that was jointly invested and built.

The "ID card" of Fangting Water Institute is issued by the Executive Committee of the Demonstration Zone, marking it as a joint construction of the three places. Authorized by the people's congresses of the two provinces and one city, the executive committee of the demonstration zone jointly issued the "Measures for the Management of Inter-regional Enterprise Investment Projects in the Yangtze River Delta Ecological Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone". The Fangting Water Institute Project was approved by the demonstration zone executive committee The project will be approved as a whole, fixed investment codes will be unified, and the three places will recognize each other.

After the project is approved, who will issue the construction permit? The construction license is generally issued by the administrative department where the project is located, and is the basic document that allows the construction project to be started. Fangting Water Institute belongs to three administrative divisions and involves three administrative departments.

During the negotiation process, everyone was inspired by the experience of opening a dead end road in the demonstration area - connecting Qingpu, Shanghai and Wujiang, Jiangsu. The optimal solution is to build a 180-meter-long bridge over Yuandang Lake. Building a bridge is not difficult in itself, but Yuandang Bridge is half in Shanghai and half in Jiangsu. It is a cross-border bridge. The materials required for approval are complicated, and even the approval body cannot be found.

At that time, the Demonstration Zone Executive Committee took advantage of the platform to coordinate all parties. The Yuandang Bridge project was entrusted by Suzhou City to Shanghai City for approval. Materials were submitted in accordance with the best standards, and the administrative approval license was stamped with two stamps from Shanghai and Suzhou.

The commissioning model may be the “stone” that can be used to cross the river for the Fangting Water Garden Project. However, "two people are 'shaking hands', but three people are going to 'join hands', which is twice as difficult." said Ren Guowei, head of the land department of Changxin Company in the early stage.

When the three places sat down to talk, they all had a strong desire to "join hands", but the specific path was not yet clear. Issuance of certificates is not a "one-and-done deal." If something goes wrong during the construction process, who should I contact? "For example, if a house is built in Wujiang and approved in Qingpu, the two places have different standards in terms of architectural design, drawing approval, construction, pollution control, etc. Does Qingpu have to supervise the issuance of the certificate? But Qingpu cannot control the site in Wujiang. Come on." Ren Guowei said.

In order to improve efficiency and achieve "starting construction as soon as the land is obtained", the bidding work was prepared simultaneously during the negotiation period. The bidding methods in the three places are different. If they are bidd separately, there is a high probability that different construction companies will undertake the project. This is inconsistent with the concept of "one" project and "one" license, and will make later management difficult.

Regarding the "stumbling blocks" that may be encountered, the three places repeatedly coordinated and cleared them one by one. They held dozens of large and small meetings and communicated back and forth for nearly a month. Finally, a consensus was reached - the bidding also adopted the "two places entrustment" method. In the "one site" approach, Shanghai Qingpu issues a bidding announcement; after the project starts, a special joint supervision team will be set up to jointly participate in supervision and coordinate to solve problems when they arise.

Only then did a construction permit issued by Qingpu, Shanghai, with an address in Jiashan, Zhejiang, became the first case where a building spanning three places was approved with "one certificate".

Two covered bridges span the Taipu River, and the Fangting Water Courtyard forms a "siheyuan" connecting Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Building a bridge requires water wading approval. The Taipu River is also the main waterway connecting the Huangpu River and Taihu Lake, and a navigation review is required.

Jiang Feng made a simple calculation. Based on experience, to obtain a construction permit for a bridge on the Taipu River, the application targets include the water affairs department and transportation department of Qingwujia, Jiaxing, Jiaxing Water Conservancy Department and Taihu Bureau. There are no less than 8 companies. Unit, you can imagine how arduous it is to prepare materials.

According to the previous model, the approval of cross-domain projects was carried out in three places respectively. For the construction entities, "the workload increased by multiples." Ren Guowei said that all procedures and procedures must be discussed once in Qingpu, Wujiang and Jiashan. They must be clear in all three places, prepare three different sets of materials, go to at least three windows, and stamp three times. If they encounter anything If you stumble, the progress of the project will be easily affected.

Is it possible to bring all parties together for joint approval and complete the process in each place at once? At the beginning, Ren Guowei and others went to the relevant departments and expressed their ideas. Everyone thought it was very novel, "Can we still do this?" After patiently listening to the plan and process, the attitude of the relevant departments changed drastically: "That's it. Dry!"

As the Fangting Water Institute project progresses, Ren Guowei often expresses emotion: "Everyone is very supportive of the integration issue."

The Executive Committee of the Demonstration Zone has set up a platform to jointly establish a water town living room development and construction headquarters with two districts and one county. It operates on a regular basis and is responsible for the overall coordination of major matters and other work, and provides guarantee for the joint approval of various subdivision matters.

For example, when the project is completed and accepted, the three places will jointly certify the project. "There is a very special situation. The completion acceptance involves local supervision functions. The construction permit was issued by Shanghai, but there are no underground buildings in the Shanghai Pavilion and Jiangsu Pavilion. All civil air defense projects are in Jiashan." Jiang Feng said. After coordination and repeated discussions among all parties, the relevant departments in Shanghai accepted the supervision request of the project. At that time, Shanghai will issue a registration certificate after referring to Zhejiang’s requirements and submit it to Jiashan, who will then accept the project.

The "joint plan review" mechanism is also gradually established. Architectural design drawings must be approved by an authoritative drawing review agency before they are implemented. For cross-domain projects, if the three places review them separately, the standards will be different and there will be no way to make a decision. "These indicators such as land greening rate, glass transmittance, and basic requirements for thermal insulation building materials are not unified," Jiang Feng said. However, union is also difficult, as regulations vary from place to place. Some plan review entities are affiliated units of government departments, while others are market-oriented and qualified plan review companies. In other engineering projects, it is difficult for the government and companies to form a coalition.

The Fangting Water Institute project is advancing, and everyone has chosen to take a step forward. The professional abilities of various plan review entities should be recognized by each other and a consensus should be formed. Regardless of the nature of the organization, special classes should be set up to carry out work together. At major points in project construction, everyone holds meetings together and is usually in the same group, constantly giving feedback and exchanging opinions. Construction is not a matter of one drawing, but a set of drawings. Suppose one place puts forward an opinion, and the other two places will also take a look. Suppose one place makes changes to the drawings, and the other two places jointly decide whether it is feasible. If the standards are inconsistent, the principle is to "go with the higher one, not the lower one."

"Integrated innovation relies on existing cross-domain projects." Zhu Yiyuan said that discovering and solving problems in project implementation, and thus exploring the establishment of a consultation and cooperation mechanism are the "hidden goals" and key to the construction of Fangting Water Institute. Task.

A series of explorations are continuously solidified in the form of institutional mechanisms and promoted as integrated experiences. At the end of 2023, the Yangtze River Delta Integration Demonstration Zone released typical cases of institutional innovation achievements, and "Fangting Water Research Institute Exploring a New Model for Approval of Cross-Provincial Projects" was selected.

The Demonstration Zone Executive Committee and Changxin Company, together with relevant departments, will coordinate and unify project construction management and control requirements, technical design points, approval processes and materials in accordance with the requirements of "one place taking the lead, mutual cooperation, achievement sharing, and mutual recognition of results" through the linkage of the three places. List of essentials, and coordinate the relevant departments of the three places to use "entrusted approval" and "joint technical review" to achieve "one document, one chapter".

The case believes that in the Fangting Water Institute project, a new "five-in-one" approval model for cross-domain projects covering project establishment, plan approval and supervision has initially been formed, including integrated project establishment, integrated bidding, integrated review, integrated approval, Integrated supervision has exerted a demonstration effect of "breaking down administrative boundaries without breaking administrative affiliations" and explored the path to establish a project promotion platform across provinces and administrative levels.

Looking back, the empirical results can be replicated and promoted, and applied to subsequent project construction of Water Village Living Room.

"A Pugang Road is going to cross Wujiang and extend to Shanghai. We directly held a meeting and proposed entrustment for approval. After the meeting, the entrustment agreement was signed and the matter moved forward quickly." Ren Guowei said, "The follow-up links were much smoother."

The pile foundation construction of Fangting Water Institute in Zhejiang has been completed.

City edge, how far? Fangting Water Park is still 16 kilometers away from Oriental Green Boat Station, the terminal station of Shanghai Rail Transit Line 17.

Changxin Company and Fangting Water Institute are less than 2 kilometers apart. The reporter went to interview, because it was too remote, and chain brand coffee could not be ordered for takeout, and taxi hailing apps could not wait for the driver to pick up the order.

Jiang Feng lives in Jing'an District, Shanghai. The commuting distance is 80 kilometers. If he drives there and back every day, it will take about 4 hours. Half a year after joining Changxin Company, Jiang Feng moved out of his home and rented a house in Fenhu, Wujiang. It only takes 10 minutes to drive to work. He did some calculations: "Total vehicle wear and tear, gas expenses, and tolls, the monthly commuting expenses are about 3,600 yuan, and the monthly rent is 2,800 yuan, which can also save time on commuting."

"This place has not changed for many years." An old man has been running a barber shop on Kanazawa Old Street for decades. Several employees of Changxin Company often queue up for haircuts at barber shops near their homes. They sometimes go to the old man’s shop to get their hair cut. The old man said that there are no commercial buildings there and the commercial atmosphere in the area is very weak, so young people are destined not to stay. , the old man often looks forward to: "Can we develop it and let more young people come in?"

Recalling that when Ren Guowei first joined the Fangting Water Institute project, the development area was surrounded by old villages and houses. Previously, most of the projects he undertook were in surrounding urban areas with mature supporting facilities, and infrastructure networks such as water, electricity, and coal were in place. However, the junction of two provinces and one city was almost the place with the weakest supporting facilities, and the municipal pipe network was not connected.

The town government located at the junction is more familiar with agricultural work. When talking about building high-standard farmland, increasing per-acre yield, and forming a local agricultural brand, the staff talked endlessly, but when it came to development and construction, they felt unfamiliar.

As the integration of the Yangtze River Delta has become a national strategy, the Yangtze River Delta Integrated Development Demonstration Zone has been established at the junction of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and development opportunities have come. The Fangting Water Courtyard is one of the landmark buildings in urban fringe development.

However, after several years of development, many old villages and houses are still there, and you can still see the original ecological appearance of this land. "The development intensity of the living room area of ​​​​the water town is not high." Zhu Yiyuan said, "Maintain the green ecological foundation and carry out low-density development."

In the planning of the water town living room, the proportion of blue and green space will be stable at more than 75%. The significance of the overall project of Water Village Living Room is not only an integrated demonstration of "sewing borders", but also the innovation and exploration of "transforming good scenery into good economy".

Fangting Water Yard is constructed in accordance with green and ecological construction standards. The Yangtze River Delta Integration Demonstration Zone does not allow the discharge of cement slurry water. On the construction site, all mud is dried and solidified by special equipment to become cement solidified body, which is as hard as concrete, and then transported away for disposal. The water generated during the curing process can be used twice as reclaimed water for the project and used to flush the site. All project construction uses prefabricated steel structures, which are processed in the factory and installed on site to avoid welding, cutting and other processes and reduce construction pollution in the demonstration area.

At the same time, Fangting Water Institute is committed to building nearly zero-carbon large-scale public buildings. Special materials are used on the exterior walls to achieve thermal insulation effects and reduce energy loss; photovoltaics and water source heat pumps are used to replace traditional energy sources, and clean energy equipment generates electricity to meet the needs of the entire venue.

"We are a living room, not a development zone or industrial park. The living room is more of a place to entertain guests and communicate." Zhu Yiyuan introduced that after the Fangting Water Institute is completed, it will focus on "integrated achievement display" and "Jiangnan cultural demonstration" "Exchange of Scientific and Technological Innovation Achievements", with a variety of operating formats. On the one hand, it serves as a display platform for the development achievements of the Yangtze River Delta region, focusing on the integrated development achievements and Jiangnan water town culture. On the other hand, it serves as a conference and exchange center to serve the Yangtze River Delta regional government and enterprise summits. , supplemented by large-scale press conferences, industry forums, etc., to build a comprehensive and multi-level regional information interaction matrix.

Change is happening. A few years ago, a young man opened his first coffee shop on the old street of Kanazawa. Now, the number of coffee shops in the surrounding area has exceeded 10. In the past, when I wandered around Kanazawa Ancient Town and wanted to buy water, I couldn’t find any coffee shop. Now, you can often see tour guides holding flags, followed by groups, making a special trip to visit the ancient town.

Residents living nearby have formed the habit of riding bicycles to the Fangting Water Yard construction site in their free time, and then looking at Jiangsu and Zhejiang across the provincial border. The distance is no longer far away.
