How the ‘open governance’ concept is implementedRenovation of Caoyang Community
Print Edition
AFTER a yearlong renovation of the Caoyang No. 1 Community, hundreds of households, mainly descendants of model workers, have returned to their refurbished homes.
The major renovation, the largest since the community was built in the 1950s to answer the call of then Shanghai Mayor Chen Yi to “serve the working class,” has restored the original look of the neighborhood while reinforcing building structures.
Brick-and-wood structures have been retrofitted with steel and concrete, while interior layouts have been redeveloped for each household with an additional 8 square meters of space as well as private toilets and kitchens.
Designers spent two weeks talking to residents, many of them senior citizens. The talks highlighted major problems, such as a shortage of exercise space, benches and parking spaces.
In response, dozens of modern street lamps have been installed across the community. The lamps illuminate the streets and integrate signals from surveillance cameras, public radio, WiFi and 5G.
