"Now that I have the keys in hand, my heart is at ease! In the new year, our family's life is sure to get better and more prosperous!" On the afternoon of December 30, Jinsheng Village resident Shen Zhengdi, supporting his 83-year-old father Shen Haijin who has hearing difficulties, entered the delivery center for the first-phase resettlement housing of the Shihudang Town urban village renovation project with his wife Ye Aizhen. Like the Shen family, 1,104 relocated households in Shihudang Town have recently been coming to collect their new home keys. As of December 30, over 900 families had completed the handover procedures, with the remaining households set to receive their keys by December 31. This four-day centralized delivery ceremony, warmly referred to by residents as the "cross-year gift package," spans the transition between the old and new years, with considerate services from the government and companies making the journey home full of warmth despite the winter cold.
On the red-carpeted pathway, a banner reading "Welcome Home" fluttered gently in the wind. Old Shen touched the red silk ribbon on his keychain, his eyes slightly moistening: "After living in the old village for half a lifetime, it has now been transformed into bright, new apartment buildings." The delivery site was orderly across various functional areas: villagers in the waiting area sat together chatting about future renovation plans; staff at the check-in counter consistently asked, "Do you need any help?" while verifying information; the home inspection环节 even featured "one-on-one" guides. Cai Hushan, Party Secretary of the project's constructor Shanghai Huizhigu Industrial Development Co., Ltd.,承诺: "Any issues identified during the inspection will be recorded, and we will assist in resolving them."
On site, Ye Aizhen carried the "Fu" character couplets gifted by the delivery center, leading her father-in-law on a tour of each room. The 83-year-old Shen Haijin touched the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room; despite his hearing impairment, he nodded emphatically, a smile lifting the corners of his mouth. This 89-square-meter, two-bedroom apartment carries the family's expectations: after relocation, the elderly couple rented elsewhere with their children for three years, often requiring assistance navigating stairs due to mobility issues; now, an elevator provides direct access to their doorstep, and the bathroom thoughtfully includes anti-slip handrails.
"From commencement to delivery, the project took just over two years—an efficiency leading the industry," said Lu Junyi, General Manager of the Shihudang Town Urban Construction Company. The project encompasses three residential compounds—Derun Mingyuan, Derun Jiayuan, and Derun Xinyuan—with a total construction area of nearly 300,000 square meters, and includes supporting community service centers, fitness squares, and pocket parks. "However, speed cannot compromise details; we must ensure residents not only can move in but also live well." Behind this "speed" is a "two-way effort" between local government and enterprises: the town government established a special task force to coordinate streamlined approval processes; Shanghai Huizhigu Industrial Development Co., Ltd. invested in an intelligent management system for "cloud-based" progress monitoring, while the constructor employed prefabricated building techniques.
The Shihudang Town urban village renovation project is the first initiative in Songjiang District's new round of "urban village" redevelopment and is expected to become a model demonstration zone for urban renewal. The project covers a total area of 451.6 acres, with a planned construction area of approximately 761,100 square meters, a total investment of about 11.1 billion yuan, a development and construction周期 of about 5 years, and is being推进 in four orderly phases. The distinguishing feature of the Shihudang project lies not only in the buildings themselves but also in the abundant natural leisure landscape resources surrounding it. The 45-kilometer-long main green corridor of the Songjiang New City Green Loop winds through the project area like a green ribbon. Weng Leijun, Party Secretary of Shihudang Town, stated that the project will not only enhance the area's overall appearance and commercial quality but also provide residents with a more livable, workable, and visitable environment. Furthermore, by introducing emerging industries and完善 public配套设施, Shihudang Town will achieve optimization and upgrading of its industrial structure, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the regional economy.
