en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the Information Office of the Taiyuan Municipal People's Government in Shanxi Province, China, held a series of press conferences on the "15th Five-Year Plan." The Taiyuan Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (referred to as "Taiyuan Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau") introduced topics including infrastructure construction, urban renewal, and industry transformation. Taiyuan plans to systematically renovate over 360 small streets and alleys during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), with 50 planned for construction and renovation in 2026. As of June 3, 27 have started construction, and the remaining 23 will commence between June and September, all to be completed and opened to traffic within the year. This initiative aims to improve the urban road network structure and address the prominent issue of "smooth main arteries but blocked small streets and alleys."

Ren Ying, Deputy Director of the Taiyuan Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, stated at the press conference that the built-up area of Taiyuan has formed a main road network framework of "ten verticals and ten horizontals + nine river roads + two rings." The density of expressways and main roads is higher than the national average, but the density of secondary roads and branch roads falls below national standards. As the "capillaries" of the city, small streets and alleys directly affect residents' travel convenience and living environment. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Taiyuan will prioritize the renovation of small streets and alleys as a key livelihood project for urban renewal, systematically advancing it based on field surveys and public feedback, following the principle of "acting within capacity while doing one's best." The first batch of 50 small streets and alleys in 2026 includes Dian Shi Street, Guanghua Street, Kaicheng West Street, etc., which will effectively alleviate local traffic congestion upon completion.

In terms of urban renewal, Taiyuan has conducted urban health checks for six consecutive years from four dimensions: housing, communities, neighborhoods, and the city, forming a closed-loop mechanism of "inspection—rectification—evaluation." The city has compiled the "Taiyuan Urban Renewal Special Plan" and actively promoted the legislation of the "Taiyuan Urban Renewal Regulations." During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Taiyuan has planned eight core sector renewals: "One City, One Lake, Two Stations, Four Zones"—the ancient city (historical and cultural preservation and renewal), Jinyang Lake (creating a city reception hall), the High-Speed Rail South Station and West Station (station-city integration demonstration zones), as well as the Jinchuang Valley Innovation-Driven Zone, the Airport Economic Zone, the Jinyuan Cultural Tourism Integration Zone, and the Hexi Science and Technology Innovation Vitality Block (focusing on new quality productive forces and open development). At the same time, eight special actions will be implemented, including existing building renovation, urban residential area improvement, old district renewal, road and municipal facility upgrades, ecosystem restoration, and historical and cultural preservation, involving over 1,000 projects. In 2026, key projects such as the protection and renewal of the Confucian Temple-Wenying Lake area and the renovation of "Two Stations and One Airport" will be prioritized.

In terms of green buildings, 100% of newly started buildings in Taiyuan comply with energy-saving standards, with 510,800 square meters of newly added green building area passing inspection, accounting for 100% of the newly built building area inspected during the same period. All public buildings and large residential communities over 100,000 square meters meet one-star or higher standards, while super high-rise buildings are locked at three-star standards. The newly added renewable energy application area is 344,000 square meters, accounting for 67% of the newly built building area inspected. The Taiyuan Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau stated that it will continue to promote the creation of demonstration cities for urban health checks and renewal, supporting improvements in people's livelihoods and economic development through high-quality urban construction.
