“What if some poor families in the community are unable to pay the cost of adding elevators?” “Who will supervise the ladder adding construction site?” “How will the maintenance expenses be paid after the elevator is added?” At the Shanghai Shanghai Xujiahui Commercial Co.Ltd(002561) Street innovation Social Governance Forum on the 14th, representatives of the “five societies” from communities, social organizations, social workers, community volunteers and social charity resources were having a heated discussion. The difficulties and pain points related to the installation of elevators in old communities had new ideas to solve in the collective wisdom.
At present, like a raging fire, the construction of “escalator” in old urban areas in Xuhui, Shanghai, is in full swing. According to the latest government work report issued by Xuhui, the installation of elevators in Xuhui’s existing multi-storey houses started 501 units last year, completed 311 units, and plans to install 500 elevators in 2022.
Take Shanghai Xujiahui Commercial Co.Ltd(002561) street as an example. Among all 208 conditional elevator unit buildings in the area, 84 were signed last year, exceeding the annual target of 44. According to Wan Xiaolan, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Shanghai Xujiahui Commercial Co.Ltd(002561) street, as of January this year, 185 unit buildings under the jurisdiction have started consultation, 95 unit buildings have been signed, 19 unit buildings are under construction, and 31 elevators have been completed and put into use.
In the process of promoting ladder addition, Shanghai Xujiahui Commercial Co.Ltd(002561) Street “five society linkage” plays an active role. Community volunteers represented by the “happy elevator” volunteer service team came to the house to act as a “microphone” and “iron hammer” for elevator adding work, deeply understand the needs and intentions of building residents, and assist the general Party branch of residential area and the temporary Party branch of community elevator to master the actual situation of the building.
At the same time, community foundations and other public welfare and charity resources have integrated community units, two new organizations and other public welfare forces. At present, they have raised 300000 yuan of special funds for jiati and donated them to special difficult objects such as community subsistence allowances and low-income families. When there are contradictions and disputes among residents, social organizations, as a third party, act as “contradiction mediators” from an objective standpoint, fully investigate the opinions of approval or opposition, guide residents to coordinate with each other and obtain the maximum common divisor. “Through the accurate docking of social organizations, social workers, volunteers and charitable resources help the implementation of the project, broaden the platform for the development of social organizations, activate the forces of community autonomy and revitalize the resources of CO governance.” Said Gao Tian, deputy head of Xuhui District.
“Party building leading, scientific planning, fine specialty and relying on residents”, as the expert “foreign aid” of this forum, Peng Bo, Professor of the school of international and public affairs of Shanghai Jiaotong University, summarized the promotion experience of Shanghai Xujiahui Commercial Co.Ltd(002561) Street ladder adding work in 16 words. Taking Gatti as an opportunity, Shanghai Xujiahui Commercial Co.Ltd(002561) street has gathered folk wisdom to improve the community governance system by promoting the cooperation among autonomous organizations of the neighborhood committee, residents\’ voluntary organizations and social organizations, and carefully run the “open door” of people’s life from the beginning of the new year.
