Even on working days, in Guangzhou City The old street of Enning Road is also a car and a dragon. The tourists are like a car. If you just come from the Guangzhou Tower, you will suddenly feel a sense of time: the galleries on both sides of the road are one after another, and two rows of \”corridors\” are built for pedestrians.

A few galleys, you will see a gray-white stone archway. There is a small alley hidden behind it. There are several low buildings falling from the building. You can sometimes glance at it. When you arrive at a door like a wooden siege, it is the traditional trekking door of the south. In the corner, I occasionally find a well-preserved carved screen wall – this was once the famous western Guangdong, hiding the most authentic urban life in old Guangzhou. Residents are walking, exercising, and chatting leisurely. Like living near the \”scenic area\”.

In contrast, the alley that has become a \”scenic spot\” on the Internet is very popular. The archway is filled with lights and the three golden characters \”Yongqingfang\” are particularly fond of under the red plaque. , at the entrance of the shopping gates on both sides of the alley, there are blocks of signs and signs.

On October 24 last year, just in this alley, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and President of the People\’s Republic of China, demanded to Guangzhou City to realize \”new vitality of old cities\”. \”Cities cannot be all high-rise buildings, they must also have old things such as memory and sorrow. They must be able to make old things like this.The city leaves memories and lets people remember the country\’s sorrow. ”

Micro-transformation protects cultural texture

Enning Road was built in 1931. Huang Tianbai, a professor in the Chinese Department of Zhongshan University, who is 84 years old this year. He lived here at that time, and in his memory, the western rivers were everywhere in the streets. This building originally originated from the Southern Europe, introduced by the \”fanguiren\” from the Chinese merchants, and the innovation of the people of Guangzhou adapted to local conditions. Become a unique architectural style in Lingnan.

In Guangzhou, which has more rainy seasons and is full of sunshine, the galley is closer to Ma Road, almost covering the entire sidewalk. Walking under the galley, the sun is no longer there, and the rain is raining. Can\’t get wet. The door of the first floor is open, and you can see the store\’s full of goods at a glance; the second floor is a residential house, which is a building style that combines Chinese and Western styles, suitable for both commercial and residential, and is a cultural heritage of Guangzhou Millennium Shangdu and Lingnan The positioning of the center provides the most vivid notes.

However, with the continuous development of the city, the galleys have been difficult to reach after the urban renovations, and they are only retained on Enning Road. . This is an old street that has been more than 80 years old. It is a typical fusion of Western architecture and the southern style. It is also one of the most concentrated areas of old houses in Guangzhou – a house that has not been demolished after 43 cases. Among them, 30 of them were \”seriously damaged\”, and some have collapsed.

In 2007, the Enning Road project began to be fully demolished and demolished, and the Liwan District was responsible. At that time, people had no idea about history and culture yet. The importance of protection and economic balanced development are still the development point of design. The plans made have caused certain damage to the old city\’s appearance. Six changes to the draft were never confirmed.

Until 2010, Guangzhou Before and after the Asia-Pacific Association, Liwan District hired a design team led by Wang Shifu, a professor at Huanan University of Technology, to redesign Enning Road\’s plan. This time, in order to protect history and culture, it proposed for the first time to make a reduction plan in the old city area, and no longer Demolition and construction, cancel some red lines of planned roads with broken belly, protect the texture of old streets and traditional streets, restore the river and realize the red lines to avoid purple lines. In 2011, this planning plan was approved by the Guangzhou Municipal Planning Committee The central government passed the unanimous vote.

In 2012, Guangzhou opened the protection and planning research on the Ritz Street in Gansu. Two years later, Enning Road was included in the street protection. Yongqingfang is located in the middle section of Enning Road, close to The Jinjian Art Museum is part of the renovation project of Enning Road Old Town and is also a trial project for the renovation of Enning Road.

In terms of building renovation in Yongqingfang Street, we follow the \”repair\” The principle of \”old, new construction is the same as before, new and old integration\” keeps the original spatial texture and the style of Lingnan architecture unchanged. The meadow roads, blue brick walls, gray plastics, trench doors, and windows in the memory of old Guangzhou people are all the same. Once preserved, the facade of the building is reinforced on this basis.

There are various unconventional situations in the past, and the various online networks above the streets and alleys, and theThe three lines of force, communication, and wired TV are concentratedly regulated, digging the meadow stone road, burying the three lines, and then re-embedding them. This will not only make it more visually more beautiful, but also eliminate safety hazards.

New Industry Inputs to the Vitality of the City

The building renovation of Yongqingfang is a reflection of the renovation of old city in Guangzhou, and has been under the renovation of ten years. From the initial large-scale demolition and construction, it has gradually changed to respecting the cultural texture of the city and respecting the old city\’s culture. This is not only a change in urban governance ideas, but also a revival of cultural confidence.

In Huang Tianbai\’s view, Guangzhou is located in the south. When the Central Plains region was the political center, Lingnan was once regarded as a land of southern famine. The people of Lingnan were brave enough to admit their backwardness and were willing to Learn the advanced culture of the Central Plains. After the opening of the Tang Dynasty, business trades from various countries have been frequent, and Guangzhou has gradually become an important business capital. The economy and culture of various countries have been exchanged here. The people of the Southerners have collected and accumulated them, and blended with China\’s advanced culture to form a unique Lingnan culture.

This kind of inclusion and integration, on the building now, is the Zhongshan Memorial Hall, which looks flying and arched on the outside and has no pillar inside, is the gallery in the west; in art, it is the use of Western musical instruments. The Chinese drama that combines foreign songs is a southern painting style that combines both Chinese painting style and Western painting. In terms of food, it is the pastry among the eight major cuisines, not only Chinese-style fried and cooked, but also Western-style baked.

However, the reason why Guangzhou has become the center of Lingnan culture is not only because of its political status as the provincial government, but also because over the years, it has contacted mainland China and Hong Kong and Macao, on the one hand, it is not xenophobic, and on the other hand, On the one hand, it is not blindly admiring foreign cultures, which makes Guangzhou people better at using their essence to remove the dross. \”If Hong Kong and Macau are respectively the upper and lower teeth, then Guangzhou is the throat, and the foreign cultures are based on The teeth were sent in, but whether to swallow them depends on the throat.\” Huang Tianzhe said.

On December 14, in the 2019 \”Influence Person of the Year\” honorary ceremony held by China News Weekly, Guangzhou was the deputy secretary of the Guangzhou Municipal Government who won the 2019 city award and came to win the prize. Introduction: As the most representative city of Lingnan culture and also the Lingnan cultural center proposed by the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Guangzhou has finally inherited the cultural heritage throughout the entire urban renewal process. This year, the city\’s renovation area is 27.97 million square meters. , 24,400 buildings were renovated, all of which were \”micro-renovation\”.

However, the renewal of the old city is not only about updating the scene, but also about adding vitality to the old city. With the transformation of the urban center of Guangzhou, the young talents in the West have gradually flowed out, resulting in the increasing ageing of the population in the area and the dilemma of hollowing out the old city. After \”urban renewal\”, how to \”revitalize old cities\” is the key to the transformation of old cities.

As for the transformation and operation of Yongqingfang, Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee’s book Secretary Zhang Xuhui proposed that Yongqingfang should be a combination of Chinese and Western styles.The culture of Bi not only retains traditional cultural elements, but also represents a new business in the era. \”In the old street area after the new urban renewal and transformation, we must register new careers and not follow the old path of old city transformation.\”

In Zhang Xuhui\’s opinion, Guangzhou City\’s \”old city, New vitality” The new business situation in Yongqingfang will continue to develop the cultural foundation and business roots of Guangzhou’s millennium business capital, which must be based on the changes in the main contradictions of the people and the new needs.

At present, the second phase of Yongqingfang has been repaired and completed. The most beautiful street will be held in December. The cultural alleys in the western section of the Zibo area, the eastern section of the Zibo area and the Binhe area. The waterfront will also open in July 2020, and the third and fourth phases will also be completed in 2020 and 2021.

All kinds of enterprises in the red line have a living space

The vitality of the city is now popular, and the gathering of people is not the gathering of industries. . In the past, the Pearl River Delta region, which was mainly labor-intensive industries, was facing a transformation of industry structure and a transformation of economic growth methods. \”New economy\” represented by Internet and high-tech industries has become a new direction for the development of various cities.

At present, Guangzhou focuses on developing five strategic new industries, including IAB (new generation information technology, artificial intelligence, biomedicine) and NEM (new energy, new materials). In this process, some traditional manufacturing industries were either shut down or had to face relocation. For an old city like Guangzhou, traditional industries once made huge contributions to the development of the city, and generations of people stayed because of the industry In Guangzhou, he became a new generation of Guangzhou people.

In a limited space layout, how to develop new economy while retaining some excellent traditional industries is not only the humanistic concern of the city, but also the real demand for industrial supply chains. ,Some high-value-added manufacturing companies are certainly the fragrance of cities, but the number of related companies that travel up and down may not be high in size and added value, and they also need to have the needs and space for survival and development. This is undoubtedly a huge test for the urban industry.

\”We will not drive enterprises, but encourage enterprises to move freely. However, for enterprises entering Guangzhou, investment scale, industry, environmental pollution indicators, enterprises that meet the conditions can stay. Next.\” said Wu Shangwei, deputy director of the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce.

In Gao Yuxi\’s opinion, a more complete industry chain is a double bonus for the development of Guangzhou and for enterprises.
