Urban renewal is closely related to both urban planning and construction, as well as the quality of life for residents. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have always attached great importance to urban renewal work. At the beginning of the new year, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection in Liaoning that "urban renewal should be tailored to local conditions, combined with community construction, and focused on convenience, benefit, and security for the people. Especially, we should better care for and protect the elderly and the young. This year's Government Work Report proposes to "continue promoting urban renewal and the renovation of old urban residential areas, and coordinate the redevelopment of inefficient urban land". Recently, a group of reporters visited the ancient capital of Nanjing during the Six Dynasties period, exploring the patterns and paths of urban renewal, and experiencing the unique charm of this city in the interweaving of history and modernity. The symbiotic wisdom of the texture of the old city lies beside the Zhuque Bridge and the Qinhuai River. Standing at the Zhonghua Gate Castle and looking into the distance, the buildings in the 18th square of the old city are like layers of blue and gray waves, rushing towards the distance. The historical and scenic area of Dayoufang Lane (Xiaoxihu) is located among them. The name Xiaoxihu comes from the private garden built by Xu Lin, a playwright and calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, called Kuaiyuan. It features landscapes such as Lizhang Hall, Xiaoxihu, and Wanjing Pavilion. Time has passed, and Kuaiyuan is no longer here. The poetic Little West Lake has gradually withered in the wind and frost of history, and most of the houses have become dangerous due to years of disrepair. Old neighbor Mr. Wu recalled that before the renovation, the entire area only had public facilities next to the ancient well, and residents who were busy pouring toilets in the alley in the morning often had to queue up. The pipe gallery is dilapidated and inconvenient to access, so many young people choose to leave. However, due to the strong attachment to their homeland, many elderly people choose to stay. Starting from 2015, in order to improve the comprehensive service functions of the community while maintaining the old city texture of Xiaoxihu and retaining its smoke and fire, Li Jianbo, head of the Qinhuai Branch of the Nanjing Planning and Resources Bureau and executive deputy director of the Qinhuai District Urban Renewal Office, led a team to gradually explore and form a "small-scale, gradual, and micro renewal" urban renewal model. 127 micro update units, with each institute developing its own update plan, one mature and one updated In the view of Han Dongqing, Dean of the School of Architecture at Southeast University, the success of the Xiaoxihu project is attributed to the role of the Five Party Negotiation Platform. The principle of "consultation, co construction, sharing, and win-win" among government functional departments, local street communities, community planners, implementation entities, and resident representatives has thoroughly mobilized the enthusiasm of residents to participate in the renovation. What if the kitchen is too small and there is no bathroom? The D-grade dangerous house where Li Zhinan used to live now not only has an independent bathroom and modern kitchen, but also a new attic. "Now that my son has returned, he has a place to live. What if I don't have money to update? When talking about the renovation costs, Xu Qing, an elderly person in his 80s this year, said: "In 2021, the contract was signed on March 24th and the project was completed on December 10th. After the renovation, half of the house will be self occupied and the other half will be rented out for ten years. This way, the 40% cost that needs to be paid for the renovation of D-level dangerous houses will also be waived." "" Relocation housing, "" Symbiotic courtyard, "" Shared courtyard, "" Coffee house... In Xiaoxihu, there is no major demolition or forced relocation. Each unique courtyard renovation method not only introduces independent kitchens and bathrooms, sunny courtyards for residents, strengthens community comprehensive services and aging friendly renovation, but also preserves the traditional texture of green bricks and black tiles. In 2022, Xiaoxihu was awarded the Asia Pacific Cultural Heritage Conservation Award by UNESCO. The future code of building rings: The first ray of sunlight in the morning crosses the top of Purple Mountain, casting mottled light and shadow on the walls of Ming City. Six hundred year old bricks and stones remain silent as ever, while the streets and alleys beneath the walls have quietly changed their appearance. On the bluestone board to the east of the old gate, tourists dressed in fancy clothes pass by the surrounding neighbors; The Qinhuai River reflects the scattered eaves and glass curtain walls on both sides, with the sound of oars and the interplay of various dialects in the light and shadow. Nanjing, this ancient capital that carries the smoke and rain of the Six Dynasties and the metropolis of ten dynasties, is undergoing urban renewal with intricate stitches, weaving the stories of time into the future of the city. Yellow walls and grey tiles, wutong swaying, Yihe Road is different for everyone. Perhaps it's a 'history book', perhaps it's an 'internet celebrity check-in spot', perhaps it's a 'Republic of China cultural scene'. For any purpose, this is a concentrated display of the unique charm of Nanjing city. The urban renewal of Yihe Road Historical and Cultural District continues the original style and landscape. We adhere to the principle of 'repairing the old as it is', mainly using four methods of' retaining, replacing, demolishing, and adding '. We adopt' protection 'and' patching 'measures for buildings, walls, etc. We reinforce the internal and external structures of the original building, remove illegal buildings, restore the original appearance of the building, and try to restore it to the original block courtyard as much as possible, to restore the original appearance of the building and street outline to the greatest extent possible, "said Qiu Feng, a planner at Shanghai Tongji Urban Planning and Design Research Institute, in an interview. The roads and buildings in the historical and cultural block of Yihe Road have a strong style. Qiu Feng said for example: "For example, streets and alleys, where there are roads but no streets, there are wutong trees on both sides, which not only ensures the quietness and privacy of the entire residential area, but also makes the style of the external wall relatively harmonious and unified. This is in sharp contrast to the Chinese and Western architectural styles with different styles in the courtyard." In terms of details, Qiu Feng also strives for perfection in the planning and design of flower patterns on the floor, ancient trees in the courtyard, and so on. The Republican villas on Yihe Road are different from those in Shanghai, as they consist of a main room, auxiliary rooms, and courtyards, embodying the cultural tradition of Chinese architecture. On the other hand, Shanghai mainly focuses on villas with enlarged lawns, leaning more towards Western culture, "said Qiu Feng. In the Yihe Road Digital Exhibition Hall, the first independently designed and constructed domestic sewage treatment plant in modern China is displayed. As early as the 1930s, Yihe Road in Nanjing had already built China's first independently designed rainwater and sewage diversion system, which not only reflected the urban planning concept at that time, but also provided valuable historical reference for today's urban renewal. A villa represents a piece of history, with 285 unique courtyard buildings on Yihe Road, resembling 285 different elders standing on different historical sides, constantly inviting modern people to seek connections with memories. Only by protecting, inheriting, and utilizing these historical relics well in urban renewal can the past and present coexist harmoniously and embark on a brilliant new journey together. The cocoon breaking transformation of industrial relics is located in the central urban area of Nanjing, where the old factory building of Nanjing Cigarette Factory has been transformed into the D9 block. The spiral staircase and industrial wall paintings have made this place a "popular check-in spot"; Located by the roadside, the Qinhuai Science and Technology Park, which was transformed from the original Nanjing Soap Factory, has become a cultural and creative industry park with Jiangsu Film Group as its core enterprise; The former site of Nanjing Knitted Underwear Factory, located between Confucius Temple and Laomen East Scenic Area, will be developed into an immersive commercial district that focuses on Ming Dynasty culture... In the past, industrial relics were seen as urban scars, either demolished or abandoned. Nowadays, with the acceleration of urban renewal, the value of industrial heritage is being re recognized, and urban builders are turning old factories into places for aesthetic living, technological and cultural innovation, and the cultivation of new quality productivity. The Yuedong Xinmenxi Industrial Park in the south gate area of the old city of Nanjing was renovated from the old cotton spinning factory building in Nanjing. Under the guidance of China Unicom's national headquarters for the Internet of Things, more than 30 on chain enterprises have quickly gathered, including 10 research cooperation centers and 4 high-tech enterprises, providing over 2000 new job opportunities. In 2024, the revenue of China Unicom's IoT headquarters alone will exceed 30 billion yuan, achieving nearly 100 million yuan in tax revenue. In today's industrial parks, places such as catering, sports, and piano performances are full of youthful vitality. During the construction process, we collected scattered Ming City wall bricks, carefully organized them, and displayed them in the 'Brick Collection Hall' to preserve the historical context of the city. As of now, we have collected over 50000 pieces of Mingcheng wall tiles During the interview, the park manager introduced. At the renovation site of Ruijinli in the east of Nanjing, due to the adoption of a pre investment operation strategy, the storefronts along the street were just completed, and the previously signed merchants gradually entered. Many affordable and convenient old and new merchants were widely loved by the surrounding residents. As the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of the time-honored brand Jiming Soup Bun, 56 year old Zhu Qing personally went to the new store to teach his skills. "We must make sure that customers taste the authentic taste of Nanjing." "In the future, Ruijinli will focus on smart healthcare and create a one-stop service platform that covers talent landing, achievement transformation, and industry acceleration," said Lu Zhihong, Deputy General Manager of Nanjing Xingong Group. Empowering people's livelihood supply through industrial revitalization, in the view of Ding Huifang, the person in charge of Ruijinli, building an innovative industrial park that integrates commerce, office, culture and leisure requires the organic combination of humanistic care, industrial connotation, and neighborhood relationship enhancement to truly benefit the people from urban renewal. Currently, China's urban development is moving from the era of "increment" to the era of "stock". In order to make cities more livable, resilient, and intelligent, and to make people's lives in cities more convenient, comfortable, and better, it is necessary for urban managers and builders to continue to work together. Xu Huaizhou, Deputy Director of the Nanjing Municipal Commission of Urban and Rural Development, said, "We will resolutely implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, actively take on responsibilities, steadily implement urban renewal actions, and continuously achieve new results in promoting high-quality urban development
