China16,000 Older Residential Communities Renovated in the First Three Quarters
CCTV.com reports (Xinwen Lianbo): Reporters learned today, October 26, from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development that renovation was completed on a cumulative total of 16,000 older urban residential communities nationwide in the first three quarters of this year. Work such as renewing utility networks and installing additional elevators also accelerated, steadily improving the livability of older residential communities.
央视网消息（新闻联播）：记者今天（10月26日）从住房城乡建设部获悉，今年前三季度，全国累计完工改造城镇老旧小区1.6万个，更新管网、加装电梯等工作也加快推进，让老旧小区宜居度不断提升。
In the first three quarters of this year, renovation was completed on a cumulative total of 16,000 older urban residential communities nationwide. This included upgrading more than 7,200 kilometers of aging water, electricity, gas, heating, and other utility lines, carrying out age-friendly and accessibility renovations in more than 2,800 residential communities, and adding 86,000 parking spaces.
今年前三季度，全国累计完工改造城镇老旧小区1.6万个。其中，各地共改造提升水电气热等各类老化管线7200多公里，实施适老化、无障碍改造小区2800多个，增设停车位8.6万个。
Meanwhile, replacement of aging residential elevators and installation of additional elevators are also accelerating across the country. Chengdu provides a subsidy covering 50% of the total cost of each elevator replaced or renovated within one year of receipt of a safety assessment report. Xiamen has introduced a policy offering a subsidy of 250,000 yuan for each elevator added to a four- to six-story residential building, and up to 300,000 yuan for each elevator in buildings of seven stories or more, effectively reducing the amount residents must raise themselves. Changsha is advancing elevator replacement in existing residential buildings as a key public-welfare project and has so far supported the replacement of more than 3,000 elevators. The latest data show that this year, 30.9 billion yuan in ultra-long special treasury bond funds has been allocated nationwide to support local replacement of 197,000 aging residential elevators. An additional 7.6 billion yuan has been allocated to support the installation of 28,000 additional elevators.
与此同时，住宅老旧电梯更新和加装工作也在各地加快推进。成都对收到安全评估报告1年内完成换新、改造的电梯，每台给予总费用50%的资金补助。厦门出台政策，4至6层住宅加装电梯每台可获25万元补助，7层及以上住宅每台最高补助30万元，有效降低居民自筹压力。长沙则将既有住宅更新电梯作为重点民生项目推进，目前已支持超过3000台电梯更新。最新数据显示，今年，全国已安排超长期特别国债资金309亿元支持各地更新住宅老旧电梯19.7万台。此外，还安排76亿元支持各地加装电梯2.8万台。
