Elevators will be installed in the old buildings of the two sessions in 2020

Installing elevators in old buildings during the 2020 Two Sessions

1. At the 2020 Two Sessions, it was once again proposed to "install elevators" in old residential buildings. Due to the stair rooms in old residential buildings, the floors are high and difficult to access. Therefore, the relevant national residential design regulations stipulate that elevators must be installed in residences with 7 floors or above or residences whose entrance floor is more than 16 meters above the outdoor design ground.

2. "Installing elevators" is in line with people's livelihood and effectively improves the quality of life of residents. Nowadays, it is difficult for "hanging elderly people" to get downstairs, which is a common problem faced by many cities across the country. Elevators have become "an important part of the aging society". "rigid need", the demand for "installing elevators" in old residential buildings is becoming more and more intense.

3. Taking Yuzhong District and Nan'an District, which have many old residences, as examples, from 2005 to the present, the local planning department has received a large number of applications and inquiries for adding elevators every year. In addition to the main urban area, the planning departments of Wanzhou, Yunyang, Fuling, Tongliang and other districts and counties have also received the same applications and consultations.
