Strolling through Luyang, the main city of Hefei, there is not only a face value that makes people fall in love at first sight, but also an evocative elegant temperament. The improvement of urban quality witnesses the vigorous power of urban growth. In recent years, Luyang District of Hefei City, as the "root of Hefei and the cultural context of Luzhou", has followed the law of urban development, carried out the protection and renewal of the old city step by step and according to local conditions, and created a more distinctive and attractive high-quality urban area. In the future, the district will implement the "quality upgrade" project to make Luyang Old Town more quality, more attractive and more livable.

Old Town do "subtraction" Happy life does "addition"

The former provincial party committee office building was transformed into a visual art center, the former provincial government office building was transformed into a music and art center, and the former municipal government office building was transformed into an urban memory museum... At the just-concluded "two sessions" in Hefei, the former provincial party committee, provincial government, and municipal government office buildings located in Luyang District have a new "positioning."

The Old Town is a witness to history, and every alley and building is a theater of life that is closely related to the people. This year, Luyang District has vigorously implemented the protection and renewal of the old city, and more distinctive and attractive high-quality urban pictures have been laid out: Huaihe Road Pedestrian Street has accelerated its work of creating a national-level demonstration pedestrian street, its main street and 15 backstreets and alleys have been transformed successively, and have been successfully selected as the first batch of national-level night cultural tourism consumption agglomeration areas; Xiaoyaojin Park has been renewed and returned, continuing to highlight the true color of people's park; Gongchen Neighborhood Center, Future Society Collection and other 8 projects have been completed and unveiled...

Cities have "brains" and governance is more "smart"

While constantly refreshing the city's appearance, Luyang District actively explores a new model of urban management level, and improves the quality of the city by "repairing both inside and outside".

At the beginning of January this year, the "Luyang Brain" grassroots governance platform - "Luyang District Digital Government Smart Community Application Platform" won the "2021 China Top Ten Social Governance Innovation Models" award issued by Qiushi Xiaokang Magazine, becoming the only award-winning unit in Anhui Province.

As early as 2019, Luyang District began to build a three-level grid management system of districts, townships (streets) and villages (residences), and "one map of the whole district" realized 11 streets, 79 communities, 1072 grids, 1108 communities, and 1126 grid members associated with the above map, forming a "cloud grid" of horizontal to edge, vertical to the end, and covering the whole area.

Urban governance is becoming more "smart" and urban management is becoming more refined. This year, Luyang District will continue to improve the quality of urban fine management, promote the patriotic health campaign and civilization creation work with high standards, and strive to do a good job in the operation supervision and maintenance of the centralized garbage classification and delivery points in the whole district. At the same time, more than 4 "five best roads" and more than 4 demonstration roads for the management of municipal facilities have been built.

"Green Man Luzhou" is often more pleasant in the main ecological city in spring

Flowers and plants such as plums, summer cranes, and hundred lotuses are dotted with flowers in all seasons and scenery all year round; the park's landscape lights, non-motorized parking lots, public toilets and other convenient service facilities are readily available... At the end of last year, three "pocket parks" located in Changjiang Middle Road in Luyang District were completed and opened, bringing the people both visual and spiritual enjoyment.

In one breath and one breath, the main city of Luyang is creating a better life for the people with a more livable environment and a better ecology.

Adhering to the concept of "ecological priority and green development", Luyang District plans the overall layout of "two cores, two districts and four corridors", including the eco-tourism core of Anhui Dongpu National Wetland Park, the modern forestry development zone in the west, and the waterfront corridor of the Chuhe River trunk canal, etc., and actively promotes the greening of urban areas and the improvement of quality and efficiency of township greening.
