The old Taiping Lane of Xiaodongmen Street is a historic neighborhood. With the rapid development of the Internet, the traditional 16-shop grain and oil market has gradually lost its former luster. But here, commercial buildings, old communities, commercial housing communities and schools are intertwined and distributed, forming a diversified community structure. There is a growing demand for high-quality service spaces from residents and corporate white-collar workers. The Huangpu District Party Committee and District Government put forward the goal of building a "One Street, One Road" demonstration area by the end of 2025, and Lao Taiping Lane was selected as a demonstration construction block by Xiaodongmen Street.
The construction of "one street and one road" in Lao Taiping Lane is not only an improvement of the environment, but also an all-round improvement of community service functions. Combined with the construction of an integrated old service center and pocket park, it is transforming into a vibrant and quality community. The "Three Sessions" practice base at No. 9 Golden Bund Garden has become an important platform for listening to public opinions and gathering people's wisdom. Through the application of the "three meetings" system, the residents' enthusiasm for participation has been stimulated, the community has been co-constructed, co-governed and shared, and the residents' sense of gain, happiness and identity has been enhanced.
In 2023, the Xiaodongmen Sub-district and Longtan Neighborhood Committees held a number of hearings and coordination meetings at the "Three Sessions" practice base, and extensively listened to the opinions of residents, people's congress deputies and corporate white-collar workers. Residents have expressed concerns about possible hygiene, noise and environmental pollution issues during the construction process. The delegates emphasized that community building should meet the needs of all kinds of people and improve the happiness index of the entire community.

In the face of these concerns, the Xiaodongmen Sub-district and Longtan Neighborhood Committees have taken a series of measures. For example, in response to health problems, the service center will set up convenient dispensing points instead of providing injection services to avoid the generation of medical waste; For noise issues, events and opening hours will be scheduled at times that do not affect residents; As for fume pollution, the service center will use the method of delivering meals to avoid cooking in the center. In addition, considering that the building where the service center is located is more than 30 years old, the street has also invited a professional department to conduct a housing safety assessment and plans to carry out the renovation of fire protection facilities.
In order to collect public opinion more extensively, Xiaodongmen Street launched a "golden idea" solicitation activity, attracting students from the city's No. 8 Middle School to participate in the design and submit a number of scheme design drawings. Through offline questionnaires and field visits, the street gathered the wisdom of many parties to jointly plan the future of Lao Taiping Lane from the aspects of public space construction, public service facility layout, business format adjustment along the street to community culture excavation. The street also made use of online resources, and added the "Yijie Yilu" discussion interaction mode through the meeting hall module of the "community cloud" platform, exploring and building an online autonomous network including party building leading services, merchant alliances, business-residence interaction and public feedback.
Through these measures, Xiaodongmen Street has ensured the smooth progress of the "One Street, One Road" project, alleviated the concerns of residents, and won the support of surrounding residents and businesses. Eventually, the "Vitality Stage" was built outside the Golden Bund community in Lao Taiping Lane, which was once an empty space, but now it has become a comfortable and beautiful place for leisure and discussion. Various activities such as "Little Concert", "Sports Garden Party" and "Summer Dopamine Community Water Festival" allow community residents to sweat and enjoy vitality in summer.
The pocket park of Lao Taiping Lane has also completed its initial renovation in the second half of 2023. In the future, Xiaodongmen Street will continue to promote the construction of a comprehensive service center for the elderly, and adhere to the use of the "three meetings" system to promote the whole-process people's democracy of community governance, and realize the integration of neighborhoods and the sharing of governance results.
The "three meetings" system, the magic weapon of grassroots governance, is closely linking the government with the masses. Xiaodongmen Street will continue to explore and innovate, promote the deepening and development of the "three meetings" system, solve the actual needs of the masses with actual cases, and actively promote its practical application in more scenarios and in a wider range. Through the "three meetings" system, Xiaodongmen Street gathers the strength of the people, listens to the voices of the people, investigates the people's feelings, and petitions the people's opinions, and jointly writes a new chapter of community co-governance.
