How to get a "new life" of abandoned wasteland in the community? The residents of Yandong Community, Changbai Xincun Street, Yangpu District, handed over a harmonious answer sheet with the diligence and wisdom of autonomy. Recently, the Yandong community after the renovation of the beautiful home has ushered in new changes, and the residents have spontaneously carried out "micro-renewal" of the community's gaps, and those messy and barren corners have been transformed into vibrant "micro gardens".
There is a community here
A "warm-hearted person" for "everyone"
Walking into the Yandong community, a piece of green small garden makes people feel relaxed, flowers of various colors are blooming brightly, the sheep intestine path is winding and quiet, and several cute small sculptures are scattered among them, adding a bit of interest to this place. Several grandparents are sitting on park chairs at the edge of the garden, shaking their fans to look at the beautiful scenery and chatting about homely things, which is very comfortable and comfortable.
The green belt of the community was originally planted with wheat winter grass, but the "appearance" of wheat winter grass is not high, and it is easy to attract mosquitoes. As a result, the "enthusiasts" of the community discussed and planned to renovate. Mr. Han, a resident of Building 11, is the leader of the voluntary renovation of the community, and is responsible for convincing the surrounding residents to participate in the renovation of the community. When asked how he came up with the idea of creating such a "micro garden", Mr. Han proudly said: "The people's city is built by the people, and we retired workers all take the community as their home, and the community environment is clean and beautiful, and we can live more comfortably." ”
After the ideological work of the residents, the renovation began in earnest. Residents bought and planted flowers, painted and reused the original abandoned old chairs, and transformed the originally sparse community green belt and abandoned garbage heap into a green place for residents to enjoy leisure and entertainment. Now that the temperature is rising, residents will also take the initiative to water the flowers and plants, and sit on the benches and chat.
Between Buildings 3 and 5, a picturesque garden unfolds in front of you. Gu Yongsheng and Shen Fang, who live in Building 5, are the main caretakers of this garden, and they have treasured the types of flowers in this garden: "This is a peony, the tree over there is acacia beans, the hydrangea in the distance, and the lollipop moon flower next to it, you see it is colorful, especially beautiful, there are lotus flowers here, they have not bloomed yet, and they will definitely look better when they open......" The couple was hospitable, and also introduced the welcome wall to reporters, on the wall is a smiling face made by Shen Fang after coloring and cutting old tires, not only to express a warm welcome, but also to call on everyone to adhere to green environmental protection.
The old community has added a small world where you can rest and discuss things
In the scorching summer, the colorful flowers bring a burst of coolness visually, and the beautiful results of residents' self-government also bring a more harmonious and warm atmosphere to the community. It is understood that before the renovation, piles of garbage in the vacant land made residents completely afraid to open their windows. Now that the garbage is gone, you can open the window and you can see a beautiful picture of flowers and greenery. In their free time, the surrounding residents gather in twos and threes, drink tea and chat, and the relationship becomes more intimate. An aunt who lives in Building 13 said: "The environment here has improved, and we are more comfortable living here. ”
The beautiful "micro garden" in Yandong community is a dazzling landscape in the community, adding fun and warmth to the life of residents. The results of residents' autonomy demonstrate the wisdom and creativity of Yandong residents. "After the renovation of the beautiful home, the residents' yearning for a better life has become more and more prominent, and now they will also take the initiative to participate in the transformation and governance of the community." The renovation of the 'micro garden' shows the awareness of the residents as the protagonists of the community, and also mobilizes the ability of residents to govern. Li Wei, secretary of the general party branch of Yandong residential area, said that it has opened up a discussion space for the community.
"Autonomy" is an important manifestation of the aspirations of the people. In the process of comprehensively promoting the construction of a people's city in Shanghai, residents' autonomy is obviously an important part. In recent years, Yangpu has always regarded people's livability and security as the primary goal of urban renewal, and only when more and more residents participate in it, and realize that everyone participates, everyone is responsible, everyone dedicates, and everyone shares, can residents' autonomy rejuvenate the city and provide more impetus for the continuous micro-renewal of the community.
