China Radio and Television Chongqing September 26th News On September 17, tourists came and went to the traditional style area of 18th located in Yuzhong District, Chongqing. At the Shibadi Glasses Pavilion, the inheritor Jiang Shulin is busy making bowls of noodles with seasonings.
"Now when business is good, you can sell three or four hundred bowls of noodles a day, which is far more than before." Jiang Shulin said with a smile. This bowl of Chongqing small-next , which has a history of more than 30 years, has witnessed the decline, development and rebirth of the Eighteen Ladders. In September 2021, the iterative and upgraded traditional style area of Shibati opened to welcome guests, attracting more and more citizens and tourists to come and "check in". The changes of
Eighteen Ladders are a microcosm of Yuzhong 's process of promoting urban renewal .

City renewal carries the people's yearning for a better life. In recent years, Yuzhong has deepened the urban renewal actions focusing on overall renewal, comprehensive rectification, and style protection, and has successively launched typical urban renewal cases such as "one ladder, one road, two lanes and two factories". In 2021, Yuzhong was selected into the first batch of urban renewal pilot list in the country.
City renewal + culture: inherit the cultural context of the "mother city" between demolition and retention
At 9 am, in the love alley of the city of Yuzhongshan City Lane, passers-by were attracted by the red-haired old lady in front of her. The old man's name is Zhou Yingbi. He was born in , Shancheng Lane in 1956. He is an indigenous person in Shancheng Lane. Although she is over 60 years old, Zhou Yingbi still retains the nature of Chongqing girls to love beauty and enthusiasm. She has red hair combed into a bun and a yellow dress is unique and elegant.
"The current Shancheng Lane retains the original residential courtyard, stilt house , air raid shelter... It looks exactly the same as when we were young, and it is a bit different when we looked closely. It is more beautiful and updated!" Zhou Yingbi talked about this familiar alley.

Shancheng Lane is the only street in Chongqing named after "Mountain City". It is an ancient residential neighborhood that has been continued since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In order to adhere to the construction principle of "preserving the texture and original fireworks of the old building walls to the greatest extent", the team responsible for creating the traditional style area of Shancheng Lane has put a lot of effort from design to restoration.
Shancheng Lane Traditional Style District Manager Huang Heng introduced that during the protection and repair process, the team fully respected the original appearance of every old house, old courtyard and old building, and carried out "micro-plastic surgery" of the building facade based on the original outline.
"When we protected and repaired Houlu, we sealed and protected the original walls, and the damaged doors and windows were replaced with wooden doors and windows of the style of the time, and at the same time re-arranged the internal space. This not only demonstrated the cultural value of historical buildings, but also adapted to the actual needs of the times." Huang Heng gave an example.
In order to allow tourists to fully appreciate the charm of Chongqing here, Shancheng Lane also retains the original sesame cake shop, iron cake shop, old teahouse and hot pot restaurant. Recently, Shancheng Lane was selected as the list of urban renewal cases of Ministry of Natural Resources .

"Shancheng Lane is protected and repaired in a refined, small-scale and low-impact manner, retaining the memory of Chongqing's 'mother city' and inheriting the historical context of Chongqing." Zhang Minggong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Yuzhong District Housing and Urban-Rural Development Committee, believes that the exploration of Shancheng Lane has sample significance. From the original "large demolition and construction" to "micro-update", from "demolition and reform" to "remaining reform and demolition" to "remaining reform and demolition and increase", what conveys behind it is the transformation of urban renewal concept.
In the process of renovating the Eighteen Ladders, Yuzhong also insisted on retaining the memory of the "mother city" as the starting point, and excavated the eighteen scenes such as "the comparative field, the sunset of the Buddha's cliff", and the "Yellow Galactic Mountain City". Through restoration and transformation, the architectural characteristics and style characteristics of the Bayu Mountain City are reproduced.
"The core of the time-honored brand is still inheritance. The fireworks and humanity of Shibadi are just like this bowl of noodles, behind which is the precipitation and accumulation of history." Jiang Shulin told reporters that in 1988, Shibadi Glasses Noodles opened. Over the past 30 years, the noodle restaurant has been "micro-updated" many times, but the traditional taste has not changed. Such a story continues on the Eighteen Ladders.

As the mother city of Chongqing, Yuzhong has gathered key cultural relics. 149 immovable cultural relics are scattered in the streets and alleys of Yuzhong, carrying the profound humanistic heritage of Bayu culture, revolutionary culture, and the Hongyan spirit.
Protecting and inheriting red culture is an important part of Yuzhong urban renewal. In recent years, Yuzhong has made every effort to promote the construction of "red three rocks" such as Hongyan, Zengjiayan and Hutouyan, strengthen the construction of red positions represented by Hongyan Village , Zhougongguan , and democratic party exhibition halls, strengthen the linkage of red museum sites in the region, and create a high-level display window for red culture inheritance.
"The cultural heritage of archways, courtyards, streets, old houses accumulated in different eras is not only a living tradition, but also a historical context that represents the uniqueness of the city." Zhang Minggong believes that it is precisely because of these precious cultural heritage that Yuzhong has its own unique "mother city" temperament. Only by protecting, inheriting and making good use of cultural heritage and empowering culture can we better achieve cultural renewal, commercial renewal and service renewal under urban renewal.
Urban renewal + industry: Back streets and alleys give birth to new economic growth poles
At 12 noon, the " Liziba Track Passing through the Building" check-in point was crowded with people. Even in the high temperature weather, tourists are still full of passion, taking photos with the rail transit at close range, taking creative pictures and videos such as "Oshout the train", "Magic use of the train to push the train through the building", and "Rail transit hand up".

In order to create a safe and comfortable viewing environment for tourists, Yuzhong has built a viewing platform covering an area of more than 1,500 square meters in the best location to watch the "track through the building", which can accommodate 6 tourist buses and about 5,000 tourists at the same time.
"The old residential building next to it has also been transformed into a cultural and creative park, where you can eat, drink and have fun in the track station. Such a 'check-in' experience is really great!" said tourist Li Lei excitedly. Two minutes ago, he held up his mobile phone on the Liziba viewing platform and took a picture of the architectural wonder where the tracks passed through the building.
Daijia Lane, not far from the viewing platform, is also a famous "Internet celebrity attraction" in Yuzhong. Walking into the alley, the literary style comes to your face, and the originally mottled walls have become window-style landscape walls. The creative paintings and neon shop signs that can be seen everywhere are refreshing.
Strengthening urban functions and stimulating urban vitality is one of the purposes of urban renewal, and industrial development is an important part of stimulating urban vitality.
"In the Daijiaxiang project, Yuzhong has specially retained 7,200 square meters of old buildings and built 1,100 square meters of temporary commercial buildings to create a core commercial area." Huang Nan of Chongqing Changxiang Cultural Tourism Development Co., Ltd. is responsible for the operation of the Daijiaxiang Leisure and Cultural Tourism Block. In her opinion, the renovated Daijiaxiang will make residents more convenient for travel, and the living quality of the block has also been greatly improved.
During the implementation of the project, the government will fund the area environmental transformation, the supporting facilities of public service facilities, and the municipal infrastructure transformation.At the same time, the prosperous business atmosphere has accelerated the pace of residents' independent renewal. Many residents living in the alley began to spontaneously carry out renovations on the second and third floors and above under the supervision and guidance of relevant departments, bringing many specialty shops to the area.

"In 2019, my wife and I took this place and have always been our own private tea room. With the completion and opening of Daijiaxiang to the public, we hope to share it with more tea lovers." Zhang Huawei, a designer, opened a small shop in Daijiaxiang that mainly sells tea drinks. With the increase in traffic in the block, the business of the shop is getting better and better.
has the same feeling, and there are a number of companies located in the Film and Television Park of Yuzhong No. 1 Factory. This place was originally the location of Chongqing Printing Factory No. 1, and used to be responsible for the printing of textbooks, books and journals in Chongqing and East Sichuan. With the changes of the times, the function of printing factory is no longer there. Yuzhong has undergone organic updates on its original site and gradually developed into an emerging cultural industry cluster.
"Everyone can settle here and pursue their dreams." Huang Jian, the base director of a technology company in Guangzhou, told reporters that when he first came to a film and television park of a factory, he recognized this "ideal place".
Since then, more and more interesting projects have gathered here: Happy Twist , bringing wisdom and happiness into a stage play to the park; new culture dissemination, providing strong creative support to the industry; Chongqing son-in-law from a foreign country opened a trendy coffee shop in the basement of the old factory... Similar companies, 23 film and television parks have now settled in the first factory, with an occupancy rate of 85%.

In Yuzhong Chaotianmen where the two rivers meet, Chongqing Raffles not only brings a landmark of " Sailing towards the Sky ", but also creates a phenomenal urban complex. In the three years since its opening, Chongqing Raffles Shopping Center has been constantly performing "new store launches for the first time". At the same time, with the establishment of the China-Singapore Interconnection Project Operation Center, Chongqing Raffles has attracted Fortune 500 companies and foreign-related institutions including Standard Chartered Bank and Singapore Enterprise Development Bureau to settle in, continuously helping to stimulate urban consumption potential and renew and upgrade consumption patterns.
The literary spirit, business spirit and popularity of Yuzhong are inadvertently integrated and displayed and promote development.
"The meaning of urban renewal is not just to preserve the 'human fireworks'. It integrates urban business and leisure functions, consumption functions, and cultural functions through highly complex business format planning to meet the needs of high-quality development of the city." Jiang Nan, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Yuzhong District Commerce Committee, said that combining urban renewal with industrial implantation can transform the renewal area from waiting for "blood transfusion" to improving its own "blood-making" function, so as to truly achieve sustainable development.

"Two years ago, this place was still in a mess, with complex property rights, and there was no property. Even the cleaning fee of 5 yuan per household per month could not be collected in full. The problem of 'old and dilapidated' and 'dirty' troubles everyone." Recalling the situation back then, Chen Guoying waved his hands repeatedly and said.
makes the city's "face" more beautiful and makes the residents' "inside" of their lives more comfortable.In November 2020, Medical College Road Community took the express train of urban renewal and was included in the comprehensive quality improvement demonstration project of old communities in Yuzhong.
"The community has rectified the safety hazards of the exterior walls of residential buildings, upgraded the greening environment, renovated the public corridors, installed elevators, and added parking spaces... It feels like it has become a 'new community' now, and the happiness index is rising 'stop'." Chen Guoying said.
Old communities need to be renovated well. To this end, the Medical College Road Community has introduced a professional property management company, held a meeting of owners, and established a reasonable property management fee collection system; revitalizing inefficient idle space for community canteens, convenient services, and commercial rental, so that residents can also obtain stable income.
Zhang Minggong admitted that Yuzhong has about 600,000 permanent residents, and there are shortcomings in infrastructure and public services. Problems such as living environment, housing conditions, and infrastructure aging are becoming increasingly serious. The old communities built before the end of 2000 in the jurisdiction were about 10.76 million square meters, accounting for more than 46% of the total residential area.

As urban renewal is pushed forward and deepened, Yuzhong has also delivered a beautiful urban renewal answer: successfully selected into the first batch of urban renewal pilot list in the country, and the renovation of old urban communities, shantytowns, and the development of affordable rental housing have been encouraged by the State Council...
At the end of 2021, Yuzhong District The thirteenth Party Congress proposed to enhance the overall value of the entire region in the orderly promotion of urban renewal, and strive to build an international, intelligent, green, and modern cities in human culture, and accelerate the construction of a modern service industry leading area, a historical and cultural heritage area, an innovation and opening window area, and a beautiful city demonstration area.

Humanities Yuzhong Quality Mother City
□ Zhu Chuanfu
This summer, Yuzhong took the lead in achieving cultural and tourism recovery. There were many tourists in scenic spots and Internet celebrity areas such as Jiefangbei, Hongya Cave, Yangtze River Cableway, and Shibadi, which drove the vigorous development of various industries such as accommodation, catering, and transportation. Star-rated and high-quality hotels and even one-room in areas such as Jiefangbei, Chaotianmen , and even one-room, exceeding the same level before the epidemic. This is the new changes and new scene brought about by Yuzhong seizing the opportunity of urban renewal, taking literature as its soul, and promoting the integrated development of industry, city and landscape.
Yuzhong is the mother city of Chongqing. Three thousand years of Jiangzhou City, eight hundred years of Chongqing Prefecture , and one hundred years of liberation Monument, culture is its most eye-catching symbol and its charm that attracts the world's attention.Jiefang Monument is full of tall buildings and fashionable and prosperous, just like "Western Hong Kong", but the brightest pearl is the People's Liberation Monument under the tall buildings. Foreign tourists will stop and stare under the monument; excellent buildings in Chongqing are constantly emerging, but most local residents still believe that the Chongqing People's Auditorium is the most distinctive and charming building; Shancheng Lane, Printing Factory 2, Daijia Lane and other places where young people gather, in addition to the business format that meets the taste of young people, protects and utilizes old buildings to the greatest extent, making people remember their homesickness.
protects and inherits culture, and naturally becomes an important option for urban renewal in Yuzhong. We will adhere to planning first, focus on protection and rational use, coordinate the protection and utilization of "Red Three Rocks" revolutionary cultural relics such as Hongyan, Zengjiayan and Hutouyan, promote the protection and utilization of key cultural relics such as Huguang Guild Hall , Tongyuanmen City Wall, Laogulou Office Ruins Park, increase the construction of museum groups such as intangible cultural heritage, art, and cultural collections, tell the story of the mother city well, make cultural relics come alive, and better serve urban construction and citizens' lives. Explore and display the cultural stories of the streets and alleys, sort out the urban textures such as trails, courtyards, and green spaces, and adopt the "culture + art" method to promote the renovation of old communities, and build a large number of traditional and characteristic streets and alleys such as Ma'anshan, Printing Factory No. 1, Luzu Temple , Shengli Lane, and Shancheng Trail , so that the "little" and "face" in Yuzhong are as bright as ever.
The most core essence of urban renewal is to meet the people’s needs for high-quality life. People often say, "A good city in Chongqing has high mountains and uneven roads." Yuzhong put a lot of effort into solving the difficulty of travel. For example, priority will be given to the development of rail transit, Lines 2, 1, 6 and 9 will be opened and operated one after another, and Lines 10 and 5 will be accelerated; on secondary roads, it will be the first to open minibuses; increase the installation of elevators in old buildings to solve the problem of the "last meter" of residents' travel; repair the mountain city trail and urban park, build the Banshan Cliff Line and Changbin Road and Jiabin Road Riverside Trails, and increase the space for residents to relax and exercise.
Yuzhong has become a popular internet city in the country. In addition to its reputation as a mountain city, a river city, and a city that never sleeps, it is also highly appreciated by tourists for its friendly people, civilization and friendship. For example, if tourists want to see "tracks through buildings", they will immediately build a viewing platform; if there are large tourists during the festival, they will give up a bridge to mobilize local residents to travel at a distance; most scenic spots and Internet celebrity check-in places in Yuzhong are free to visit.
In response to the consumption needs of young people and children, Yuzhong has deployed fashion formats such as performing arts, bookstores, cinemas, children's playground , animation, bars, homestay , and vigorously developed the first store, first brand, first show, and first release "four songs" economy and night economy , making Chongqing's mother city a highland for gathering popularity, wealth and blessings.
