The implementation of urban renewal is an important decision made by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, and it is a major project specified in the Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The implementation of urban renewal should conform to the law of urban development, respect the wishes of the people, take intensive connotation, green and low-carbon development as the path, change the way of urban development and construction, adhere to the principle of "retaining and demolishing", give priority to retaining and utilizing, strengthen renovation, fill in the shortcomings of cities, pay attention to improving functions and enhance urban vitality. Recently, all localities have actively promoted the implementation of urban renewal. However, in some places, there is a tendency to continue to follow the development and construction methods of excessive real estate, demolish large buildings and seek quick success, demolish old buildings, relocate residents and cut down old trees at will, raise housing prices in disguise, increase the cost of living, and create new urban problems. In order to actively and steadily implement the urban renewal action and prevent the problem of large-scale demolition and construction, the relevant requirements are hereby notified as follows:

1. Insist on drawing the bottom line to prevent the deformation and distortion of urban renewal

(1) Strictly control large-scale demolition. In addition to illegal buildings and buildings identified as dangerous buildings by professional institutions and without repair and reservation value, the existing buildings will not be demolished on a large scale and in pieces. In principle, the demolition construction area of urban renewal units (districts) or projects should not be greater than 2% of the current total construction area. Advocate classified and prudent disposal of existing buildings, and implement small-scale, gradual organic renewal and micro-transformation. Advocate the use of existing resources, encourage the maintenance and reinforcement of existing buildings, improve facilities and equipment, and improve safety, applicability and energy saving. For the buildings to be demolished, the evaluation and demonstration should be strengthened in accordance with relevant regulations, public comments should be solicited, and the approval procedures should be strictly implemented.

(2) strictly control large-scale construction. In addition to building necessary public service facilities, the construction scale of the old city will not be increased on a large scale, the original density intensity will not be broken, and the bearing pressure of resources and environment will not be increased. In principle, the demolition and construction ratio of urban renewal units (districts) or projects should not be greater than 2. On the premise of ensuring safety, it is allowed to appropriately increase the construction area for complete housing renovation, build affordable rental housing, and improve public service facilities and infrastructure. Encourage the exploration of regional construction scale as a whole, strengthen the function relief of dense areas, actively expand public space and park green space, and improve the livability of cities.

(3) Strictly control large-scale relocation. We will not forcibly relocate residents on a large scale, change the social structure, or sever the relationship between people, land and culture. We should respect residents' willingness to resettle, encourage local and nearby resettlement, improve living conditions, and maintain neighborhood relations and social structure. The local and nearby resettlement rate of urban renewal units (districts) or project residents should not be less than 5%. Practice the concept of creating a beautiful environment and a happy life, simultaneously promote urban renewal and community governance, encourage housing owners and users to participate in urban renewal, and * * * build * * * governance * * and enjoy a beautiful home.

(4) ensure a stable supply and demand in the housing rental market. Demolition of contiguous old urban areas such as villages in cities will be carried out on a large scale in a short period of time to prevent the imbalance between supply and demand in the housing rental market from aggravating the difficulty of renting houses for new citizens and low-income people. Pay attention to the steady implementation of the transformation of villages in the city, improve the public services and infrastructure, improve the public environment, eliminate potential safety hazards, simultaneously do a good job in the construction of affordable rental housing, and make overall plans to solve the rental housing problems of key groups such as new citizens and low-income people with difficulties. The annual increase in urban housing rents does not exceed 5%.

Second, we should persist in keeping everything and try our best to preserve the memory of the city

(1) Preserve and utilize existing buildings. Do not move or demolish historical buildings and old buildings with protection value at will, and do not leave them in disrepair, repair them without use or leave them idle for a long time. For the areas to be implemented urban renewal, it is necessary to carry out investigation and evaluation in time, sort out and evaluate the existing building conditions, and make clear the list of buildings that should be protected. For areas that have not carried out investigation and evaluation, and have not completed the delineation of historical and cultural blocks and the determination of historical buildings, urban renewal should not be implemented. Encourage the transformation, repair and utilization of existing buildings such as factories, shopping malls and office buildings without changing the nature and ownership of land use and reducing the safety level of fire protection.

(2) maintain the scale of the old city pattern. Do not destroy the traditional pattern of the old city and the texture of streets and lanes, do not straighten and widen roads at will, do not build large roads or build large squares. Encourage the use of "embroidery" kung fu, repair and darn the old factory area, old commercial area and old residential area, strictly control the building height, and maximize the preservation of the distinctive pattern and texture of the old city.

(3) Continuation of urban features. Do not destroy the topography, cut down old trees and existing trees with local characteristics, dig mountains and fill lakes, change or occupy rivers and lakes at will, rebuild parks with historical value at will, change old place names at will, put an end to the chaos of "greedy for greatness, obsessing over foreign countries and seeking strange things", and prohibit plagiarism, imitation and cottage behavior in buildings. Adhere to the low-impact renewal construction mode, maintain the natural landscape environment of the old city, and protect historical relics such as ancient trees, bridges and wells. Encourage the use of local building materials and forms to build urban buildings that reflect regional characteristics, national characteristics and the style of the times. Strengthen the ecological restoration of the city, leave blank and increase green, and keep the "genes" such as the unique regional environment, cultural characteristics and architectural style of the city.

third, adhere to our capabilities and steadily promote transformation and upgrading

(1) strengthen overall planning. Don't be divorced from the local reality, don't treat the head and foot, and put an end to sports and blind implementation of urban renewal. Strengthen the overall planning of work, adhere to the urban physical examination and evaluation first, adjust measures to local conditions, classify policies, reasonably determine the key points of urban renewal, and delimit urban renewal units. Fully link up with relevant planning, scientifically prepare urban renewal planning and planning, establish project library, define the implementation time sequence, and do what you can for a long time. Explore planning, land, finance, finance and other policies applicable to urban renewal, improve the approval process and standards, broaden financing channels, effectively prevent local government debt risks, and resolutely curb new hidden debts. Strictly implement the shantytown renovation policy, and do not carry out urban renewal in the name of shantytown renovation.

(2) explore the mode of sustainable renewal. Do not follow the development and construction mode of excessive real estate, and do not unilaterally pursue short-term benefits and economic benefits brought about by scale expansion. Encourage and promote the transformation from "development mode" to "business mode", and explore a sustainable mode of urban renewal with government guidance, market operation and public participation. The government pays attention to coordinating various stock resources, increases financial support, attracts social professional enterprises to participate in operations, balances investment in transformation with long-term operating income, and encourages existing resource owners and residents to participate in micro-transformation. Support the integration of project planning, planning and design, construction and operation, encourage mixed functions and compatible uses, promote mixed land types, and develop new formats, new scenarios and new functions by means of dismantling, relocating, replacing and leasing.

(3) speed up the complement of functional shortcomings. Do not make superficial efforts to dress and wear a hat and paint, and do not engage in performance projects, image projects and face projects that are divorced from reality and waste people's money. Focus on updating the shortcomings and benefiting people's lives, focus on the urgent needs of residents, and give priority to the construction of public service facilities, municipal infrastructure, disaster prevention and safety facilities, flood control and drainage facilities, public green spaces and public activity venues to improve urban functions. Encourage the construction of complete residential communities, improve community supporting facilities, expand community services such as office, classroom and canteen, create barrier-free environment and build age-friendly communities.

(4) improve the safety and resilience of cities. Do not "emphasize the ground above the ground", do not over-landscape and brighten, and do not increase urban security risks. Conduct a thorough investigation of urban municipal infrastructure, investigate and rectify potential safety hazards, and promote unified planning and coordinated construction of ground facilities and underground municipal infrastructure renovation. In urban greening and environmental construction, we should encourage the ecological construction mode that is close to nature, localized, easy to maintain and sustainable, optimize the vertical space, and strengthen the construction of blue, green and gray integrated sponge city.

all localities should constantly strengthen the practice summary, adhere to the bottom line thinking, deepen and refine the urban renewal system, mechanism and policies in light of the actual situation, actively explore and promote urban renewal, and effectively prevent the problem of large-scale demolition and construction. Strengthen the guidance of the work of cities (counties), urge the re-evaluation of urban renewal projects under construction and those that have been approved for construction, and thoroughly rectify the projects involving reinvention and large-scale demolition and construction; Supervise the pilot cities to further improve the urban renewal work plan. Our department will regularly conduct research and guidance on urban renewal work and pilot projects in various places, timely study and coordinate to solve difficult problems, constantly improve relevant policies, and actively, steadily and orderly promote the implementation of urban renewal actions.
