The renovation of the old community has always attracted much attention, especially for the installation of elevators, which has aroused extensive discussions. People have different opinions on this issue.
Residents who support the installation of elevators believe that it will greatly facilitate travel, especially for special groups such as the elderly, the disabled and pregnant women, and it is an important improvement measure. In addition, the installation of elevators can also enhance the use value of the entire building, increase the value of the property, and provide convenience for future leasing or resale.
However, residents who oppose it are worried about funding, arguing that installing elevators will increase the burden of living. At the same time, the installation of elevators may cause a certain degree of interference to the living environment of the community, such as noise, vibration, etc. These effects may trigger discontent among some residents. In addition, the installation of elevators may not bring much convenience for residents on lower floors, while elevators are more needed for residents on higher floors. This uneven distribution of benefits may lead to opposition from some residents.
Although there are different opinions, the measures to renovate old communities and install elevators are mainly focused on people's livelihood. According to statistics, in 2023, the actual renovation of old urban communities across the country will reach 5370,000, benefiting 8.97 million households, achieving the annual target. At the same time, the installation of elevators reached 360,000 units, which has improved the quality of life of some residents.
Recently, Nie Zhuqing, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that he would submit the "Proposal on Systematically Solving the Installation of Elevators in Old Residential Areas and Improving the Safety of Old Elevators" in the two sessions this year. He emphasized the importance of caring for the elderly and paying attention to the elderly and the old community from the installation of elevators in the old community, and put forward a series of clear suggestions, including doing a good job in top-level design, raising funds from multiple sources, and introducing laws and regulations to ensure the safety of elevators in the old community.
