In 2023, the population of Hangzhou will exceed 10 million, achieving a great leap from a megacity to a megacity.

Becoming the 10th megacity in the country is both an opportunity and a challenge. Entering a new track, how can Hangzhou vigorously promote the construction of a super-large city and improve the city's comprehensive energy level and governance level? At the joint meeting of the Third Session of the 12th CPPCC in Hangzhou held on the afternoon of January 29, this topic sparked a heated discussion on the spot.

Before thinking about how to rush forward, let's "slow down": "check the pulse" for the city, carry out urban physical examination in a refined manner, and find and solve "sub-health" problems. This is an important starting point for the implementation of urban renewal actions, the overall planning and construction management of cities, and the promotion of high-quality urban development.

The core element of a megacity is people, people-oriented, and paying attention to the "small needs" of citizens, which naturally becomes the problem that Hangzhou, the "youngest" megacity, needs to pay attention to after being promoted.

It is necessary to face up to the changes in demand brought about by demographic changes, make use of existing resources according to local conditions, and plan in advance the needs of urban function transformation, so as to better meet the people's yearning for a better life. Chen Langting, member of the Hangzhou CPPCC and director of the Management Committee of Hangzhou Zijingang Science and Technology City, said.

Specifically, start with **? The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development divides the problem of urban physical examination into two categories: "solving within a limited time" and "trying to solve", which may provide some ideas.

time-limited solution", which needs to be reformed immediately. "Zhejiang's ongoing public service 'Seven Preferential' project almost covers this kind of problem. Sang Wanchen, a member of the Hangzhou CPPCC and deputy chief planner of the Institute of Urban and Rural Planning and Design of Zhejiang University, explained. The "old and young", which is related to thousands of households, are placed in the "C position".

For the "one old", Chen Langting believes that it is important to promote the transformation of the home care environment for the elderly. From the perspective of urban areas, communities where the elderly gather often have problems such as high age and old facilities; From the perspective of rural areas, self-built houses generally lack facilities for the elderly.

Previously, Hangzhou has carried out the transformation of home care for the elderly in special groups such as economic difficulties and physical disabilities. Chan Langting believes that this is a heart-warming move. "It is hoped that on this basis, we will further expand the coverage and reduce the cost of age-appropriate transformation on a large scale, and at the same time encourage and guide public welfare charitable organizations, caring enterprises and other social forces to donate and set up special ** to support the transformation of the 'one old'. ”

A small "will encounter more "growing pains". In recent years, the number of registered births in Hangzhou has been declining. "Since the second half of last year, there has been an imbalance between supply and demand in childcare institutions, and the normal operation has been affected to a certain extent. Chen Langting suggested that Hangzhou should adjust its childcare policy in a timely manner to improve the flexibility of service provision, "such as encouraging institutions to extend to young children, opening nursery classes, etc., and at the same time setting up childcare institutions reasonably according to the location." ”

Try your best to solve", it needs to be continuously optimized, and the vitality of the city is empowered through renewal. At the joint group meeting, the Wener Road Farmers' Market, which has recently become popular, was mentioned by CPPCC members.

In fact, according to a survey by the Hangzhou Industry Association, the vacancy rate of farmers' markets is rising. How to make the fireworks at the "doorstep" stronger?

Chen Tao, a member of the Hangzhou CPPCC and chairman of the Hangzhou Nesting People Public Welfare Development Center, put forward a "golden idea". "Farmers' markets are not only a 'vegetable basket', but also a livelihood project, and it is recommended to promote the transformation of more farmers' markets into complex 'neighborhood centers', embedded in public service facilities, and achieve organic renewal. ”

For example, to ensure the proportion of basic support, expand the maintenance service of "minor repairs and small repairs" in farmers' markets, snack bars and breakfast shops of "one store and one morning"; Increase the proportion of operational supporting facilities, combine the surrounding resource conditions, appropriately supplement high-quality businesses such as commercial offices and theme restaurants, and promote functional hematopoiesis.

In terms of management, we can also innovate and explore the constraints of operators who can only sell a single category, improve their competitiveness and income efficiency, and attract community fresh stores to return to the market. Chen Tao said.
