■ Draw a "new blueprint" for towns
-The urbanization rate is from 7.9% to 56.02%.
High-rise buildings have risen from the ground, connecting yesterday, today and tomorrow of urbanization in Hunan Province.
The Sino-Soviet Friendship Building (now Changsha Stomatological Hospital), built in 1956, is 18 meters high and has made a silent witness to the Sino-Soviet friendship in history. Hunan Hotel, built in 1959, was the tallest building in Hunan at that time, with a height of 35 meters. This building height record was not broken until 1972 by Lushan Hotel (now Lushan Hotel) located in Hexi, Changsha. Wharf International Financial Center, which opened in 2018, reshaped the "skyline" of Hunan at a height of 452 meters.
Hunan province adheres to the guiding principle of "controlling the scale of big cities, rationally developing medium-sized cities and actively developing small towns", and the urbanization process has been obviously accelerated and the urbanization level has been continuously improved.
In 2000, the urbanization level of the whole province reached 29.75%. Although this figure is more than 6 percentage points lower than the national average, it is regarded as a new starting point for urbanization in Hunan.
In May, 2006, Hunan Provincial Party Committee proposed to promote urbanization around the construction of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration. At the Ninth Party Congress of Hunan Province, promoting the integration of Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan and the construction of "3+5" urban agglomeration were identified as a major strategy to enrich the people and strengthen the province.
In 2016, at the 11th Party Congress of Hunan Province, Du Jiahao, secretary of the provincial party committee, emphasized in the report that it is necessary to vigorously promote the integration of Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, implement the regional development strategy of "one core, three poles, four belts and multiple points" and build a new urban system. Since then, the relevant policies have further clarified the idea of promoting the integration of Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan: strive to build an upgraded version of the core growth pole of the province’s economy, a new highland in the rise of central China, and a demonstration zone for the integrated development of national urban agglomerations. The construction of the "three trunk lines and two tracks" project in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan (namely, the rapid reconstruction project of Furong Avenue, Dongzhu Road and Tanzhou Avenue, the west ring line project of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan intercity rail transit and the "four improvements and two accelerations" project of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan intercity railway) is in full swing.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the implementation of the new round of household registration system and residence permit system reform, the urbanization of rural migrant population in Hunan Province has been accelerated in an all-round way, and the permanent population of cities and towns has increased from 2.36 million in 1949 to 38.65 million in 2018, and the urbanization rate of the whole province has increased from 7.9% in 1949 to 56.02% in 2018.
At present, the number of cities with a population of more than 1 million in the province has increased to five, and the ability of cities to gather population has been significantly improved. Among them, Changsha has become a type I big city (with a permanent population of 3 million to 5 million), while Hengyang, Zhuzhou, Changde and Yueyang have become type II big cities (with a permanent population of 1 million to 3 million).
■ Building a livable "new home"
-Urban per capita housing area
From 3.9 square meters to 48.8 square meters
In the early days of the founding of New China, it was a common living phenomenon for three generations to "live in a humble hut". Take Changsha as an example. In 1957, the per capita housing area in Changsha was only 4.37 square meters.
During the planned economy period, urban residents mainly stayed in "waiting, relying on and needing" to solve housing problems, that is, waiting for the state to allocate housing, building houses by organizations and asking for housing from units. "Housing shortage" became a serious social problem at that time.
In 1980, the state put forward the general idea of reforming the investment, construction and distribution system of urban housing, and the "home" of Hunan people experienced a great change from welfare distribution to market purchase. The reform of the housing system has taken a step forward, and the implementation of "starting with rent increase, starting with the construction of commercial housing, and gradually transitioning to monetary housing distribution".
In 1992, a wave of reform and opening up was launched on the land of China, and the urban real estate industry entered a period of rapid development. The sale of existing public houses was the focus of housing reform in Hunan Province. At the same time, the reform of the housing provident fund system was rolled out throughout the country. On January 1, 1995, Hunan Province officially implemented the housing provident fund system.
At the beginning of the 21st century, commercial housing has become an important part of housing system construction in Hunan Province. There are not only government-led district development such as Meixi Lake and Binjiang New Town in Changsha, but also housing giants such as Country Garden, Vanke and Beichen competing to lay out the Hunan market.

Living and living is the starting point of living and working in peace and contentment, and stabilizing housing prices is the key to living and working. In June 2018, Changsha introduced the property market regulation policy, and launched an all-round battle against real estate speculation. In July of the same year, the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the "Hunan Eleven Articles" to strengthen the classified regulation of the property market and control the housing prices of key cities in the province.
In order to solve the housing problem of urban low-income groups in the province, in 2008, Hunan Province launched a comprehensive affordable housing project. According to the data of the Hunan Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, since 2010, the province has built a total of 1.055 million sets of public rental housing, and distributed 574,100 housing rental subsidies, so that urban low-income and low-and middle-income families with housing difficulties have achieved "all insurance coverage"; Completed the renovation of 2.613 million shanty towns, helping nearly 10 million residents to "get out of the shed and enter the building"; 1,717,100 rural dilapidated houses were renovated, and the average household subsidy increased from 5,000 yuan in 2009 to 24,500 yuan now, helping more than 5 million farmers solve the housing problem.
As of 2018, the per capita housing area of urban residents in the province reached 48.8 square meters, an increase of 44.9 square meters over 1978, an increase of 12.5 times; The per capita housing area of rural residents reached 63.6 square meters, an increase of 53.1 square meters over 1978, an increase of more than six times.
■ Polish the city’s "new business card"
-Urban and rural environmental infrastructure construction
From "Small Jogging" to "Full Blooming"
In the process of urban development, a large number of domestic sewage, production wastewater and various domestic garbage were once directly discharged into urban inland rivers.
The Guitang River in Changsha is black and smelly. It was once the famous "Longxugou". After many efforts, Guitang River was transformed with the concept of "double renovation" and "sponge city". In 2017, the "black and smelly water body" was successfully removed, and the clear river naturally stretched, echoing with art bridges, wetlands and green spaces, becoming an urban "ecological river".

Cities are born of water, flourish with water and are beautiful with water. The protection and treatment of Xiangjiang River has become the "No.1 Key Project" in Hunan Province. Since the implementation of the two "three-year action plans", the water quality of Xiangjiang River Basin is generally excellent, and the water quality of 80% of the main stream section has reached the Class II water quality standard. Changde passes through the inland rivers of cities such as Zihe River and Yangxi River in Chenzhou, changing from a black and smelly "Longxugou" into a waterfront park, with willows and rivers gurgling.
Pollution is in the water and its roots are on the shore. In recent years, Hunan Province has successively carried out special actions such as "Three-year Action for the Construction of Sewage Treatment Facilities", "Two Supplies and Two Treatments" and "Two Repairs and Two Reforms". The main indicators such as the sewage and garbage disposal rate and the harmless treatment rate of domestic garbage have steadily increased, and the appearance of urban and rural environmental infrastructure has undergone major changes.
In April this year, the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government held an on-the-spot meeting to promote the construction of urban and rural environmental infrastructure in the province, pushing the construction of ecological civilization to a new level, and proposed to focus on six major projects: safe water supply, gasification of Hunan, sewage treatment, garbage treatment, remediation of black and odorous water bodies, and smart construction to increase efficiency, and the construction of urban and rural environmental infrastructure entered the "fast lane".
People’s cities are built by the people and people’s cities are for the people. Since the concept of "urban taste" and "smart growth" was put forward, the traditional thinking of urban development has been refreshed-no longer pursuing extensive GDP growth, but paying more attention to quality and efficiency, making the city a paradise for ordinary people to live and work.

The old streets of Gu Xiang, such as Laoximen in Changde, Liuzi Street in Yongzhou, Fengcheping in Xiangtan and Yuhou Street in Chenzhou, have been organically updated, which has kept the city’s features and realized the organic combination of tradition and modernity. The renovation project of shanty towns in Changsha has explored a new road that pays equal attention to "staying, renovating and demolishing", refused to "demolishing and building", improved the living environment, and completely renewed historical and cultural blocks such as Duzheng Street, Gaozheng Street and Baiguoyuan.
The livable environment in Hunan has been continuously optimized. The gas penetration rate of cities and counties in the province reached 93.6% and 76.9% respectively, and the urban water supply penetration rate reached 94.31%. There are 15 national garden cities (counties), 39 famous historical and cultural cities, 38 beautiful and livable towns (villages), 658 traditional villages in China and 1,430 green villages in China.
■ Activate and develop a "new engine"
-Gross output value of construction industry
From 14 million yuan to 958.1 million yuan
According to historical records, the total output value of Hunan’s construction industry in the early days of the founding of New China was only 14 million yuan. With the recovery of the national economy, the number of construction enterprises has increased steadily, and the scale of enterprise output value has increased significantly.
The development of construction industry is closely related to regional construction. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction industry in Hunan Province has entered a new stage of development, and the development trend of scale, industrialization, refinement and internationalization has become increasingly apparent.
In 2019, the Hunan Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development announced the list of "Strong Building Enterprises" in the province, and 19 enterprises including China Construction Fifth Bureau, Hunan Construction Engineering Group and Shaping Construction were selected. Statistics show that in 2018, the total output value of the construction industry in Hunan Province was 958.144 billion yuan, up 13.8% year-on-year, and it will soon be upgraded to a trillion-dollar industry, and the construction industry has become a pillar industry of the economy.
From the past "a sunny day covered with dust and a rainy day covered with mud" to a clean and tidy "smart construction site", the pace of transformation and development has accelerated after the construction industry has inserted the wings of "internet plus".
At the entrance of the construction site, workers enter by "brushing their faces"; Set up an information command center in the construction site to collect a large number of videos and various data in real time, and have a "brain" blessed by high technology; Tower crane construction no longer relies solely on walkie-talkies. Instead, sensors are installed on the tower crane to collect data such as wind force, turning angle and load, so as to realize accurate and safe operation … The smart construction site on the land of Sanxiang has become the concrete embodiment of the concept of smart city in the construction industry.
Changde Chuanzi River Comprehensive Treatment Project
With the advent of the commercial era of 5G, the construction industry is at the forefront of 5G applications. With the help of digital BIM+AR+VR technology, a visual bridge is built between three-dimensional design drawings and buildings under construction. The whole process of construction, such as survey, design, construction and acceptance, has also ushered in earth-shaking changes. It is reported that the application of BIM technology in Hunan and the work of building smart construction sites at the provincial level are at the forefront of the country.
Based on green development and promoting transformation and upgrading, Hunan has continued to exert its efforts in the cultivation of prefabricated construction industry and the construction of the "Belt and Road".
In Hunan, there have emerged national leading prefabricated building enterprises such as Yuanda Residential Engineering, Sany Group and Zhuyou Zhizao, with annual production capacity and comprehensive strength ranking among the top in the country. There is one national assembly building demonstration city (Changsha) and nine assembly building industrial bases. As of the first half of this year, the province has implemented a total of 42.73 million square meters of prefabricated construction projects, with an annual production capacity exceeding 30 million square meters and a total output value exceeding 70 billion yuan. Prefabricated building has become another "Hunan business card" after super rice, supercomputer and ultra-high-speed rail transit.
Huxiang construction frequently appears in the "Belt and Road" construction. From "going out to sea by boat" in the past to "going out to sea by boat" today, the project contracting capacity of Hunan Province has been significantly improved. For example, the China Construction Fifth Bureau has implemented the overseas priority strategy, and projects have been launched in 12 countries along the "Belt and Road". Hunan Construction Engineering Group’s overseas business covers more than 30 countries and regions in Asia, Africa and Latin America, involving housing construction, highways, bridges, power grids and other fields. The Senegalese competitive wrestling field project undertaken by Hunan Construction Engineering Group is the largest aid project of China in Senegal.
■ Accelerate the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services"
-administrative examination and approval from bloated.
From "Great Besieged City" to "Acceleration" of Slimming
Hunan’s housing and urban-rural construction system has been committed to promoting the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform, demanding efficiency from reform and vitality from innovation. Since 2018, the Hunan Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has taken the reform of the examination and approval system of engineering construction projects as a vivid practice of "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services", initiated the reform in non-pilot areas of the country, adhered to the problem orientation, improved the top-level design, eased "blocking points", removed "pain points" and broke "difficulties", making the project landing faster and the procedures more convenient.
Changsha Municipal Solid Waste Advanced Comprehensive Treatment (Clean Incineration) Project
The unified project construction approval management system in Hunan Province was officially launched in September this year, achieving "five reductions": the number of approval items was reduced from 71 to 50; The total time limit for examination and approval of housing construction municipal engineering projects has been reduced from 230 working days before the reform to 60 ~100 working days; Divide the 71 serial examination and approval items before the reform into four examination and approval stages, and implement "one lead, parallel examination and approval, and time-limited completion" in each stage; The application materials submitted in the whole process were reduced from more than 320 to more than 160; By promoting the supporting reforms such as "multi-regulation integration", "regional evaluation", "multi-map joint examination", "multi-measurement integration" and "joint acceptance", the overall running times of the administrative counterpart are minimized.
At the same time, the Hunan Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has taken the initiative to decentralize the administrative examination and approval authority at the same level, and the administrative power matters such as preliminary design review, construction drawing review and filing, quality and safety supervision, construction permit issuance, and completion acceptance filing of provincial management projects should be "released". Since May this year, the electronic declaration and approval of administrative licenses have been fully implemented, and the masses of enterprises have basically realized from "running at most once" to "not running at one time"; We launched a special campaign to reduce the number of certificates and facilitate the people, and cut off 16 unreasonable proof materials such as capital verification certificates and business premises certificates.
The Hunan Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has vigorously promoted the reform of the construction drawing review system, and launched a series of measures, such as "internet plus drawing review", government purchasing services, multi-review in one, and multi-drawing joint review. Since the reform, "zero running, zero contact and zero payment" has been basically realized, the time for construction drawing review and filing has been accelerated from 100 days to an average of 9.1 days, saving the construction drawing review service fee of 320 million yuan for the construction unit on average every year, and the competent authorities have corrected 823 violations of quality and safety standards on average every year. The supervision ability of survey and design is 24.6 times that of offline paper review in the past.
■ Enhance the "high value" of civilization
-Urban management
From "extensive" to "refined"
In 1978, the State Council held the third national conference on urban work, which made it clear that "the main responsibility of the city government is to plan, build and manage the city well". In 2002, the State Council launched a comprehensive administrative law enforcement pilot in five areas, including urban management and cultural market management, which marked a substantial step towards "comprehensive law enforcement" in urban management law enforcement.
In accordance with the unified arrangements of the central government, Hunan has further promoted the reform of urban law enforcement system and strengthened urban management. On May 8 this year, the Hunan Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development set up the Bureau of Urban Management and Law Enforcement Supervision, which marked a new chapter in urban management in Hunan Province. By the end of September, 13 districts and cities and 118 counties and cities in the province had established urban management and comprehensive law enforcement bureaus in accordance with the requirements of urban law enforcement system reform, and new members were constantly added to the "big family" of urban management and law enforcement teams.
The city is the home of people’s beautiful life, and urban governance is related to people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation, and living and working in peace and contentment. All parts of Hunan have innovated institutional mechanisms and governance methods, and the appearance of the city has taken on a new look. Zhuzhou City established 200 "Jianning Stations", and all parties responded well; Changsha city has carried out joint law enforcement of urban management and public security, creating the experience of "combining two swords"; Chenzhou formulated the fine standards of urban management and fully implemented fine management; Shaoyang gathers strength to "wash the city" to create a clean and beautiful city appearance.
Urban management law enforcement behavior is gradually standardized. The province continued to carry out the three-year action of "strengthening the foundation, changing the style and building the image". All localities strengthened the self-management and education and training of law enforcement teams, and law enforcement officers distributed standard clothing, which significantly enhanced the sense of identity of law enforcement teams, significantly improved the level of law enforcement and professional quality, and undertook many urgent and dangerous tasks.
The property management system has been continuously improved, the "circle of friends" of the industry Committee has become larger and larger, and the community has become the "home" of every owner; Garbage sorting has become a new fashion, and residents’ participation is active every day, so that garbage is no longer "wandering"; Micro-renovation of the city, renovation of old residential areas, installation of elevators, and "embroidery kung fu" to make the city more exquisite; "Conspiracy, co-construction, co-management, co-evaluation and sharing" and "a beautiful environment and a happy life are created together", making communities and the masses increasingly the most active "protagonists" on the urban stage; Litter boxes, leisure seats, bus shelters, traffic signs, lighting facilities … The ever-increasing urban "furniture" makes outdoor places as convenient and comfortable as home.
Adhering to the people-centered principle, building a new city with ecological priority, beautiful and livable life and a better life for the people is becoming the goal of housing and urban and rural builders in Hunan Province.
