Expand capacity and improve quality to help young people live in peace
Young people gather because of the city, and the city thrives because of the youth. Attracting and retaining young people is the key to sustainable urban development, and solving the housing problem of young people is an important part of it. Zhou Zheng, secretary of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Youth League, introduced that through the implementation of the three major projects of "Youth Youyi", "Youth Youlai" and "Youth Preferential Purchase", the Youth Preferential Housing Program will solve the difficulties of young people at different stages of transitional housing, renting and buying houses, help them realize the dream of living in peace from "one bed" to "one room" and then to "one home", and attract more young people to come to the youth to stay in the youth. Up to now, the city has built 122 youth stations and 12 "Youlai Youth Community" projects, with a total of more than 2,500 houses.
Zhou Zheng, secretary of the Qingdao Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League, spoke at the consultation.
Jiang Teng, a member of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and general manager of Shandong Times New Media Digital Economy Research Institute Co., Ltd., is a youth committee member. At the second meeting of the 13th Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference held this year, he submitted the "Proposal on Strengthening the Housing Service Guarantee for Young People in Lujulu". "The launch and implementation of the Youth Preferential Housing Program is a major benefit to young people, and several projects that have been completed accurately point to the housing needs of young people, and the market response is relatively good. However, on the whole, the publicity of the Youth Preferential Housing Program is insufficient, and the awareness of young people about the Youth Preferential Housing Program is not high enough. Jiang Teng suggested that the relevant departments explore the establishment of a combination of offline and online preferential housing plan service system. Offline, a youth service window has been set up in the Qingdao Civic Center to provide policy consultation and business handling services, so that young people who come to Qingdao to stay and return to youth can feel the convenience of government services and the warmth of the city; Online, combined with the "Digital Qingdao 2.0" project, a youth preferential housing service platform will be established, integrating information such as youth preferential housing policies, housing supply, and employment settlement services, so as to meet the needs of young people for preferential housing in one stop.
"The Youth Preferential Housing Program is a project for young people, and it should be promoted in a way that young people like, especially by making good use of mobile Internet platforms. In the process of publicity, in addition to introducing the information of the Youth Preferential Housing Program itself, it is also necessary to take the Youth Preferential Housing Program as the starting point to tell the story of Qingdao and do a good job in promoting the image of Qingdao. Jiang Teng said.
Jiang Teng, member of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and general manager of Shandong Times New Media Digital Economy Research Institute Co., Ltd., spoke at the consultation.
Promoting the convergence of the youth preferential housing plan and the housing subsidy policy for college students in Qingdao is also the focus of Jiang Teng's attention. Jiang Teng learned in the investigation that at present, Qingdao provides housing subsidies for full-time graduates with bachelor's degree or above in domestic colleges and universities within three years of graduation, among them, the standard for undergraduate graduates is 500 yuan per person per month, the standard for master's students is 800 yuan per person per month, and the standard for doctoral students is 1,200 yuan per person per month. "At present, the youth preferential housing plan and the housing subsidy policy for college students have not been opened, renting to pay rent and applying for housing subsidies are two different links, it is recommended that the relevant departments work together to provide convenience for young people, and transfer the housing subsidy for talents directly to the housing operator, and turn the 'separate office' into 'one-time operation'." Jiang Teng said.
He Xuting, member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and general manager of Qingdao Tian'an Science and Technology Innovation City Industry Co., Ltd., has been engaged in the development and operation of industrial real estate for a long time. In her research, she found that at present, the distribution of youth housing projects that have been completed and operated in Qingdao is uneven, especially in some areas with a large number of enterprises and young people, and the housing gap is large, which needs to be made up in a targeted manner. "Jianhongtan is a highland for the development of the high-speed train industry, and there are many related enterprises, which require a large number of high-quality and low-cost long-term rental apartments, but the actual operation of the 'Youth Youlai' project is relatively small, and it is difficult to meet the needs of enterprises." He Xuting suggested that the relevant departments should increase the supply of housing in such areas, explore the introduction of incentive policies, guide social capital to participate in the youth preferential housing plan, and increase the stock of housing.
Qingdao can learn from the experience of other places to transform these office buildings into houses suitable for young people under the premise of conforming to the plan, keeping ownership unchanged, meeting safety requirements, and respecting the wishes of the masses, which can not only solve the housing problem of young people, but also increase the vitality of the community." He Xuting said.

Chang Xianfeng, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and director of the Qingdao Chengzhi Social Work Service Center, believes that in addition to renovating idle office buildings, Qingdao can also sort out scattered housing resources and include them in the youth preferential housing plan. The relevant departments can bid for a high-level operating agency to operate these houses in a unified manner and provide quality services to the young people who move in. Under the Youth Preferential Housing Scheme, the rent of the "Youth Advantage" project is 5%-10% lower than the market price. In order to encourage more landlords to participate in the Youth Preferential Housing Program, the government can give landlords a certain amount of financial subsidies and issue them with "Youth Preferential Housing Honor Cards". Hosts can get some extra discounts or conveniences when they go to visit attractions, fitness, and shopping with this honor card.
"In recent years, the real estate market has been in flux, and relevant policies are constantly being adjusted. The Youth Preferential Housing Plan cannot be set in stone, but should be adjusted in a timely manner with the general trend of the real estate market and changes in relevant policies, so that young people can truly benefit and enjoy the policy dividends. Chang Xianfeng suggested.

At the negotiation site, Yan Hao, director of the operation and maintenance department of the Municipal Housing Security Center, introduced the progress of the affordable rental housing project to participate in the youth preferential housing plan. He said that in December 2023, the city will introduce the "Pilot Work Plan of "Affordable Rental Housing + Youth Preferential Station" to encourage qualified affordable rental housing projects to participate in the youth station plan, comprehensively build a "guaranteed" youth station, and give phased free residence and preferential rent policies for affordable rental housing, so that young people can not only "stay", but also "stay". In the next step, the Municipal Housing Security Center will announce the pilot project on an annual basis, so that more housing can be added to the pilot scope, and continue to meet the housing needs of new citizens, young people and college students who have just graduated from the youth to start a business and find employment.
Yan Hao, director of the operation and maintenance department of Qingdao Housing Security Center, was interviewed by reporters.
The CPPCC members' suggestions have received a positive response from relevant departments. "The suggestions of the committee members are very precise and pertinent and pragmatic. In the future work, we will increase publicity efforts, continuously improve the awareness of the youth preferential housing program, and at the same time, actively integrate the affordable rental housing and talent housing held by state-owned platform companies at all levels, and widely solicit hotels and apartments in economic parks, central business districts, industrial parks and other areas where young people are looking for jobs and working, so as to increase the supply of preferential housing through multiple channels, so that more young people can participate in the youth preferential housing program and help young people realize their dreams. Zhou Zheng said.
Linked resources to promote city friendliness
"Living" is only the foundation, and "living well" is the goal. How to link multiple resources to make young people's lives more comfortable is the key to the implementation of the Youth Preferential Housing Program.
In the preliminary investigation, the committee members found that at present, the Youlai Youth Community of the Sino-German Ecological Park and Bo Chuen Talent Apartment in the West Coast New Area and the Youlai Youth Community of Qingdao International Postdoctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Park in Chengyang District have been equipped with public functional areas for learning, reading, fitness and entertainment, enriching the lives of the young people living there. He Xuting believes that the relevant departments should vigorously promote these good experiences and good practices, comprehensively improve the supporting level of youth preferential housing projects, and create a livable and workable youth community. The government can provide preferential policies such as subsidies and taxes for housing operators, encourage them to optimize design schemes, increase functional facilities, and improve the attractiveness and competitiveness of youth preferential housing projects. After the young people move in, the relevant units can also regularly hold various cultural activities, such as pottery, baking, cultural and creative markets, sand paintings, street dance, etc., so that young people can grow up in interaction and feel the warmth and comfort of home.
"Relevant units can also establish cultural venues such as Chinese New Year's Eve School in the Youth Preferential Housing Project, and launch a number of cultural activities with diverse and flexible hours in combination with the diversified working hours of young people, so that young people can feel the temperature and charm of the city and better integrate into the city." He Xuting suggested.
As an entrepreneur, Jiang Teng pays special attention to employment and entrepreneurship services. He suggested strengthening the connection between the youth preferential housing plan and employment and entrepreneurship policies, setting up a special youth employment and entrepreneurship guidance center, providing career planning, skills training, entrepreneurship support and other services for young people, and cooperating with universities and industrial parks to build youth innovation and entrepreneurship bases.
"After young people come to a city, in addition to housing, employment and entrepreneurship, they also have needs for marriage, love, socialization, leisure and entertainment." Jiang Teng added that relevant units can establish a dating platform in the youth preferential living community, and regularly organize online and offline social activities such as theme parties, interactive games, and spiritual salons, so as to provide more convenient dating services for young people. It can also cooperate with surrounding businesses to launch preferential activities, so that young people can enjoy a more affordable consumption experience.
Providing rich activities for young people is also the focus of the work of the Youth League Municipal Committee. Zhou Zheng introduced that in the early stage, the youth preferential housing projects in Shinan District, Shibei District, West Coast New District, Chengyang District and other districts and cities have organized employment sharing meetings, reading clubs, interest salons and other activities, and have achieved good results. A few days ago, Chengyang District also organized a Citywalk City Orienteering Competition to help young people better understand the city.
Shen Wenjie, a resident representative of the youth Youlai community and a participant in the CITYWALK activity, was interviewed by reporters.
Shen Wenjie, a young resident of the postdoctoral "Youlai Youth Community" in Chengyang District, participated in the Citywalk event and shared his experience on the spot. He said that by participating in the Citywalk City Orienteering, he not only improved his teamwork skills, but also increased his understanding of Qingdao, met more new friends, and expanded his circle of friends. He hoped that the Youth Preferential Housing Project would organise more cultural and sports activities to enrich the daily lives of young people.
Chang Xianfeng suggested that relevant units should speed up the construction of a large platform for the youth preferential housing plan, strengthen internal and external exchanges and resource integration, carry out various forms of social activities, and organize young people to participate in grassroots social governance.
At present, many cities are providing platforms for youth to participate in social governance. For example, Shanghai continued to deepen the "Youth Intelligence Group", Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province built a "Youth Chamber" that combined online and offline, and Jincheng, Shanxi Province extensively carried out suggestions collection activities such as "My Jincheng My Suggestions" to gather more young wisdom for the high-quality development of the city. "Qingdao can also rely on the Youth Preferential Housing Program to carry out in-depth 'youth living room' activities, lead young people to take responsibility in voluntary public welfare, community operation, urban renewal, etc., explore new models for youth participation in grassroots social governance and urban construction, and enhance young people's sense of ownership and community belonging." Chang Xianfeng said.
Li Jiahuan, a planner from Qingdao Urban Planning and Design Institute, was interviewed by reporters.
In recent years, community planners have played an increasing role in urban renewal. At the negotiation event, Li Jiahuan, an urban planner from Qingdao Institute of Urban Planning and Design and a community planner from Badahu Community, shared her work experience. "In our work, we take root in the community, deeply understand the demands of residents, help relevant units and residents effectively communicate in both directions, and promote the optimization of community construction." Li Jiahuan introduced that the community planner team widely links social resources, takes the lead in holding community meetings, and invites social personnel to discuss, build and share a better community life; Carry out the "Art Space Construction Season" activity, mobilize residents, especially children, to beautify the community gray space in the form of art, break the previous "closed" design model, and publicize the construction of the garden through online social platforms, and organize and guide the surrounding residents to participate in the management and maintenance of the garden. Seeing the blueprint turned into a real-life scene that satisfied the residents, Li Jiahuan felt a sense of accomplishment in her work, which also allowed her to better integrate into the city.
The wonderful speech won warm applause from the audience.
"The Youth Preferential Housing Program is an important measure to build a 'livable city for youth' and enhance the friendliness of youth, and the Youth League Municipal Committee is actively coordinating the work force, strengthening the linkage between districts and cities, and accelerating the construction of a number of youth development-friendly communities, parks, blocks and other demonstration scenarios, so as to better promote the construction of youth-friendly cities." Zhou Zheng introduced that in the future, the Youth League Municipal Committee will continue to consolidate the responsibilities of all parties, guide social participation, strengthen the joint use of resources, focus on the needs of young people, launch more policies and measures with high gold content to benefit the youth, create a platform carrier for the growth and development of young people in an all-round way, encourage young people to actively participate in key tasks such as volunteer service, community governance, rural revitalization, urban renewal and urban construction, and continuously enhance the sense of social participation of young people, inject youth vitality into urban development, and build a youth-friendly city.
