according to on-site visits, the scale of the built-up area is not large compared with the total area of ​​houses to be demolished in lijiao village. currently, most of the houses in the village have been vacated and demolished.

it has been 12 years from signing to delivery

over the years, lijiao village has been one of the key urban renewal projects promoted by haizhu district of guangzhou. lijiao village consists of four natural villages, namely lijiao, xinyu, dasha and mangjiao, and 19 production cooperatives.

as early as september 2011, the urban village renovation plan of lijiao village was approved. the renovation scope was 1.5142 million square meters, and the planned total building area was about 4.3627 million square meters, including 2.434 million square meters of residential area and 1.9287 million square meters of non-residential area. the total investment was about 30 billion yuan.

from a timeline perspective, the project started with the signing of a contract with a cooperative enterprise in 2012, and the demolition officially started in 2019. after that, it went through the start of construction, topping-out of the rebuilt houses, and lottery selection of houses, and it was not until this year that the delivery was officially started.

on the morning of september 11, a reporter from the china business network saw at the scene that many owners of the relocated houses were queuing up to go through the check-in procedures. a banner reading "warm congratulations on the lottery for the first batch of rebuilt and renovated houses in lijiao" was hung around the project, which was particularly eye-catching.

the reporter of the china business network learned at the project site that the community to be delivered this time is called xihai mingyuan, which consists of four buildings and a total of 1,023 units have been delivered. among them, building a and building b are 30 floors, building c is 37 floors, and building d is 36 floors. the unit area is mostly 61 to 147 square meters.

villagers’ concerns: when will the resettlement fee be renewed?‍‍

according to the official account of zhuguang group, he zujian, director of the housing and construction bureau of haizhu district, guangzhou, mentioned in his speech that the delivery and use of the first batch of rebuilt resettlement housing will not only provide a more comfortable living environment for more than 1,000 lijiao villagers, but also inject new vitality into the high-quality development of lijiao village. it also marks that the urban village reconstruction in haizhu district has entered a new stage of development.

xu peng (pseudonym), a villager in lijiao village, told the reporter from the china business network that he did not win the lottery for xihai mingyuan, but his neighbor did, and he accompanied him to view the house.

"only more than 1,000 houses were delivered this time, but there are more than 5,000 owners waiting to move in." xu peng said that the original compensation and resettlement fee was about 30 yuan per square meter per month based on the area of ​​the demolished houses, but this money has not been paid since july last year. it is precisely because the developer has been in arrears with this money that some owners dare not sign contracts with the developer again.

source: people's daily leaders message board

a reporter from the daily economic news noticed that in march this year, a user reported a similar problem on the people's daily leadership message board. the nanzhou sub-district office of the haizhu district people's government of guangzhou replied, "due to the recent changes in the approval process of the reconstruction fund supervision bank, the relevant temporary relocation fees and other compensation funds will be provided to the supervision bank. after the supervision bank completes the approval one by one, it can be paid. the approval time is relatively long, so it is currently only allowed to be paid after the bank has approved the funding application. after the funds are approved, the temporary relocation fees can be paid."

the reporter of the economic daily learned from the project site that the urban renewal of lijiao village is mainly led by lijiao economic association and zhuguang group. among them, lijiao economic association, as the main body of the transformation, is mainly responsible for promoting the transformation work together with zhuguang group. as a cooperative enterprise, zhuguang group provides financial, technical and management support to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

on the afternoon of september 11, song liuqiang, general manager of the urban renewal network, said in a telephone interview with a reporter from the china business network that demolition involves a large number of groups and a long period of time, and the biggest problem usually faced is the financial pressure of developers.

based on past experience, there are two most common models for quickly promoting urban renewal projects. one is that developers take the initiative to make concessions; the other is that local governments endorse and promote old-town renovation.

"but in fact, both categories have certain limitations. on the one hand, developers cannot always make concessions because companies have to consider profits. from the government's perspective, it is necessary to consider the bottom line of public interests, which is also constrained and cannot be endorsed without limits." song liuqiang said that in the future, urban renewal in various places may need to explore a third way, that is, joint participation of the government, enterprises and society, which can be called an autonomous renewal model or a self-improvement model.

this model changes the traditional development process from b to c to a model from c to b, that is, the original owner starts internal integration first, and then negotiates with the developer after the integration is completed, instead of being more of a game between the developer and the owner as before.
