Over the past few decades, many cities have changed dramatically. The first is that many cities are constantly expanding, and many cities have expanded from the second ring road and the third ring road to the fourth ring road and the fifth ring road. Secondly, the residential form of the city has also changed from the low-rise houses mainly bungalows, staircase houses and family homes in the past to unified high-rise residences.
Indeed, in the process of urbanization, a large number of people have shifted from rural areas to cities, the urban population has increased significantly, and the demand for housing is strong. Therefore, if the city wants to accommodate so many people, it can only expand the urban area on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has to use space to the sky to build more high-rise residences.
If we want to build more high-rise housing, we have to mention the term "shantytown transformation" and "demolition" introduced by China in 2005. As we said earlier, in the past, some low-rise houses could not accommodate too many people, so it affected the advancement of urbanization in China. Moreover, in the past, the living experience of these bungalows, stair houses, and family homes was also relatively poor, and many of them were not connected to running water, natural gas, and there was no property company to manage. So these old houses give people a dirty and messy impression and affect the image of the city.
Therefore, after 2005, China began to implement the "shantytown transformation" policy, demolishing some low-rise houses in the past, and then building into unified high-rise residences. On the one hand, this can improve the living environment of the original owners, so that they can live in high-rise residences with a newer appearance and a better environment. On the other hand, it can also provide more housing for people who have just entered the city to work hard, and have the opportunity to buy a house and live in the city.
However, after more than a decade of demolition and relocation, the negative impact of "shantytown transformation" has also begun to appear. The first is the problem of overcapacity in China's housing, according to relevant data, the inventory of commercial housing in the top 100 cities in China has reached 520 million square meters. Moreover, the housing ownership rate of urban households has reached 96.89%, with an average of 1.5 units per household and a per capita housing area of 40 square meters. So now China's houses are enough to live, and then the city for large-scale demolition and construction, the construction of too many houses will cause further overcapacity, is not conducive to the long-term stable development of the real estate industry.
Secondly, China has carried out more than ten years of demolition work, many dangerous houses in the city, poor living conditions of the house have been basically demolished almost, the rest are some of the houses that still have a good living environment, if you continue to demolish will cause a waste of resources. In addition, some cities should also properly retain some old buildings and old neighborhoods, because these buildings and communities bear witness to the history of the city, and if they are all demolished, the city will probably lose its history and characteristics.
Finally, the shed reform policy has led to a large amount of money flowing into the real estate industry, which has promoted the continuous rise in house prices. In particular, in 2014, in order to remove the problem of commercial housing inventory, China carried out a monetization compensation policy for demolition households. The monetization compensation policy does have a certain effect on the removal of commercial housing inventory, on the one hand, developers do not need to build resettlement houses, resulting in a further increase in the inventory of commercial housing, on the other hand, demolition households get a certain amount of cash to buy commercial housing according to their own wishes, and can digest a part of the commercial housing inventory. But this has also led to a large amount of money flowing into the property market, resulting in house prices rising again and again, until they are out of touch with the income of ordinary people.
In this case, the shantytown transformation policy is no longer suitable for China's national conditions, so at the beginning of last year, the State Council made up its mind: it was clear that 2020 is the last year of shantytown reform.
After the end of the shed reform policy, how to deal with the 20-year-old house? Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development: All are handled "this way"
At the beginning of last year, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development stipulated that the old reform policy should be comprehensively promoted in 2021. The purpose of the old reform is to further improve the living comfort of some old communities, and to upgrade the old residential areas. Among them, the old renovation project mainly includes three aspects: foundation, improvement and upgrading.
(1) The basic category includes: the painting of the external wall, the renovation of the water and electricity pipelines, the comprehensive coverage of the old residential network and the entry of optical fibers. In general, the upgrading of infrastructure facilities is the upgrading of facilities that meet the basic living needs of owners in old residential areas.
(2) The improvement category includes: re-planning the traffic road of the community, installing heating on the community, re-laying out the greenery of the community, building a barrier-free environment, and if it meets the conditions for installing an elevator, and with the consent of the owner of the community, the elevator can be installed in the community.
(3) The promotion category includes: the construction of community comprehensive service facilities around the community, public health facilities such as health service stations, educational facilities such as kindergartens, and special community service facilities such as old-age care, childcare, convenience markets, convenience stores, and postal express stations.
We know that the old residential areas in a city are located in the center of a city, so the surrounding public facilities, commercial facilities, medical facilities and educational resources are incomparable to some residential buildings around the city. The reason why it is not popular with people, especially not liked by young people, is because the living environment is relatively poor, the traffic is more congested, the public facilities in the community are relatively old, and so on. Now, after the old community has been renovated, many problems that existed before have been solved, not only the appearance of the community has been completely renovated, but also the hardware facilities and software facilities of the community have been improved. For example, the community increases parking spaces, traffic road planning is more reasonable, so that community owners can park more easily, traffic roads are no longer congested, so it will be more popular with some young people.
With the completion of the old reform work in many communities, many communities that were originally very shabby are renewed from the inside to the outside Once the problems of poor living environment and dilapidated infrastructure in the old community are solved, then the geographical advantages of the old community will be more obvious, which makes the old community more popular with people, especially by young people. At this time, the old community will be more energetic and usher in the "second spring" of the old community.
Of course, the old community to carry out the old reform, not all are happy, for those who are not willing to demolish the old community owners, the old change to improve the living comfort of the community, improve the living environment, naturally very happy. But it also shattered the dream of some people who want to rely on the demolition of old houses to "get rich", especially those investors who deliberately invest in old residential areas and sit and wait for demolition. With the shattering of the dream of demolition and relocation of "getting rich", these investors are likely to exit the property market soon, which is also conducive to making house prices reasonable.
