A few days ago, the relevant departments of Guizhou Province publicized the list of the third batch of "provincial tourism and leisure blocks" in the province to be determined, and Guiyang Huaxi Cross Street was among them.
As the traditional commercial core area of Huaxi District, Guiyang City, Cross Street is also an important tourist business card of Huaxi District, carrying the historical memory of most Guiyang citizens. Due to disrepair and untimely business updates, there is a big gap between the state of the cross street and the expectations of citizens and tourists. In April 2022, the renovated and upgraded Cross Street reopened with a new look, and quickly became a meeting window for Huaxi District and even Guiyang City, a living space shared by hosts and guests, a passionate trendy play tribe, and a lively food gathering, which is regarded as one of the samples of Guiyang City to promote the integrated development of "culture, business and tourism".
The wonderful process of butterfly change in Huaxi Cross Street shows from the side that the transformation and upgrading of old neighborhoods is the expectation of the masses and the needs of the market. However, the renovation of old neighborhoods can not blindly "demolish and build", not simply tear down and rebuild, and build new high-rise buildings, but must do enough embroidery work on the original basis, so as to take into account both tradition and modernity, not only to retain the cultural context of the city, to retain the cultural memory of the citizens, but also to lay the foundation for the improvement of the people's lives and economic development.
First of all, we must adhere to the people-centered approach. As an important part of urban renewal and urbanization, the fundamental purpose of the renovation of old neighborhoods is to continuously meet the people's expectations for a better life. At the beginning of the design of the plan, it is necessary to go deep into the residents of the block, strengthen investigation and research, solicit opinions on renovation, fully respect the wishes of the masses, mobilize the masses to participate extensively, and plan scientifically and reasonably, so that the transformation process can not only meet the needs of urban development, but also facilitate the life of the masses, so that the "old residents" can live a "new life".
Secondly, it is necessary to retain the cultural context of the city. The old neighborhood is a witness to the city's history, which not only preserves the traces of urban development, but also serves as a stage for citizens' life, carrying the memory and emotional sustenance of most people to the city. Therefore, the renovation process of old blocks should pay attention to the continuation of the historical context of the city, integrate historical culture, landscape culture and urban development, highlight local characteristics, adopt more "micro transformation", and promote the block-style transformation method of "stringing points, connecting lines, and forming pieces" in an orderly manner, strengthen design guidance and overall planning, so that the old blocks can remember the vicissitudes of history, see the traces of time, and retain the cultural roots.
Finally, we need to innovate business forms. Boldly adopt modern scientific and technological elements, create high-quality cultural tourism consumption scenes, promote the integration of "culture, business and tourism", support literary and art workers and intangible cultural heritage inheritors to inherit and develop the cultural traditions and lifestyles of Lao Cai, and develop cultural and creative formats, so that they can radiate new vitality in modern society. In addition, it is also necessary to "drain" through cultural activities, exhibitions and tourism promotion, so that more people can enter the old street, understand the old street, appreciate its charm and experience its life.
There are two things that people will never forget in their lives, and that is the face of their mother and the appearance of their hometown. In the renovation of old neighborhoods, it is necessary not only to preserve the precious cultural memory for the citizens, but also to create a unique city business card, and effectively promote the integrated development of culture, business and tourism.
We believe that with the in-depth advancement of urban organic renewal, there will be more old streets and alleys and old communities, which will show their elegance and reunite the fireworks in the world with a new style. (This article**: Economy** Author: Wu Bingze).
