The boiling city community of Wanping Street, Fengtai District, Beijing, also known as Xiaoyueyuan Qili and Bali, is only 100 meters away from the boiling city section of the Fifth Ring Road, and residents have been troubled by noise for nearly 20 years. What does a 24-hour noisy life look like, and why have the problems reported by residents for nearly 20 years not being resolved?
This issue of "One Step Forward" approaches the boiling city community, builds a multi-party communication platform, investigates the historical causes of noise disturbance, explores the difficulties in breaking the situation, and seeks solutions to the difficulties.
Tucao Conference: Do you know my pain?
At the beginning of the recording, the residents of the boiling city community couldn't help but complain about their noisy lives. "I can eat without meat, not without sleeping pills all night"; After moving here, the biggest gain is high blood pressure and tachycardia"; The noise didn't stop for a quarter of an hour, and I had to stick my head in the big closet"; It is equivalent to sleeping on the edge of the five rings"...... Their rhetoric seems to be permeated with an optimistic self-deprecation, but when you think about it, it reveals an indescribable bitterness, and the problems that the residents focus on also show the urgency of solving them. "The Fifth Ring Road is not short, so why is there no soundproof screen in front of our boiling city community?" The residents' representative asked helplessly. In the face of the increasingly serious noise problem in the boiling city community, who should be to blame?
Q&A: Why hasn't the soundproof screen been repaired?
The guests of the communication group found in advance that the serious noise in the community is because the community is too close to the Fifth Ring Road, and at the same time, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room and bedroom are facing the Fifth Ring Road. From the upper floors to the lower floors, almost all homes have no windows to open, earplugs have become a necessity, and some residents have installed their own double windows or replaced them with soundproof windows to reduce the impact of noise.
When the experts went to the house to investigate, some residents reluctantly introduced: "In front of the adjacent Xiaoyueyuan Wuli Community, the sound insulation screen was repaired, and the front of our community was not repaired, and the reason is that their building was built before the Fifth Ring Road, and our building was built later than the Fifth Ring Road, so it was not repaired." So, what is the reason why the boiling city section of the Fifth Ring Road was not built with a sound insulation screen during construction?
争辩大会：“路”和“房”究竟谁在先？
Whether it is the first road or the first house has also become the focus of debate on the field. Residents believe that although the construction of the Fifth Ring Road began in 2005 and the construction of the Boiling City Community was completed in 2006, they do not agree with the statement that "there is a road first and then there is a house", because before the completion of the Boiling City Community, this was the old Zhuangzi Township, and there have always been residents, and the Fifth Ring Road was not built for the residents of the old Zhuangzi Township when it was built. Now that the noise exceeds the standard, is it the responsibility of the construction unit of the Fifth Ring Road to install soundproof screens? The developer of the community knows that the residential area is close to the Fifth Ring Road, but now the noise exceeds the standard, can it be held back to the responsibility of the developer? Now, the residents are eager to solve the noise problem, who can bear this responsibility?
The hustle and bustle of the Fifth Ring Road has become a long-standing problem in the local streets. Over the years, the neighborhood has been trying to find a solution, and they have put forward proposals through channels such as the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and even convened relevant district-level meetings several times to seek solutions. Now, have they found the key to solving the problem?
"People's happiness and well-being is the ultimate goal of promoting high-quality development. "The convenience of transportation brought by the Fifth Ring Road cannot be at the expense of the peace and tranquility of residents. How to better balance economic development and people's livelihood is a major topic on urban planning and people's livelihood and well-being, and it is also a governance examination paper to test whether urban managers can improve the sense of happiness of the masses through institutional innovation and service innovation. After seven hours of communication, can all parties move in the same direction? Can the boiling city community reduce the "noise" and stop the "boiling", and the residents return to a peaceful life?
