A new community living approach creates new life
Print Edition
THE over 1,000 households in Xichengli neighborhood in Huangpu District are also beneficiaries of micro-renovation for old communities. The 92-year-old neighborhood in the Hengfu (Hengshan Road and Fuxing Road) Historical Protection Zone is home to 15 cultural relics such as the former residence of painting master Zhang Daqian (1899-1983).
As a typical shikumen community, its housing units were cramped and old, with shared toilets and kitchens and a shortage of facilities. The renovation gave the neighborhood a brand-new look last year.
Most households got private toilets. Shared kitchens, walls and roads have been refurbished, leaking roofs fixed and old doors replaced.
“The approach is to improve the living environment of residents but protect the historical flavor of these stone-gated houses at the same time,” said Li Sun, director of the Huangpu District Housing Management Bureau.
