Yesterday marked the opening of the flagship "Bridge Home" community center at 182 Longkou Road in Yangpu District's Daqiao neighborhood. Designed as a multifunctional hub integrating services, culture, and social interaction, the center connects residents through comprehensive community programs ranging from daily conveniences to cultural activities and self-governance initiatives.
The center's mascot "Bridge Lion"—an artistic representation inspired by Daqiao's map—symbolizes connection, vitality, and belonging. Its derivative programs include "Daqiao Craftsmen," "Daqiao Market," "Daqiao Choir," and "Daqiao Forum."
During the opening ceremony, ten local experts were honored as "Daqiao Craftsmen," showcasing community talents in fields like appliance repair, arts, and handicrafts. The "Daqiao Market" initiative partnered with businesses including Xiudai Coffee, Dingdong Maicai grocery, Ziyi Farm, and charity supermarkets to provide discounted service packages and pop-up markets, fostering commercial-residential cooperation and micro-economy development.
Platform influencers from Shanghai Metro, Meituan, and Bilibili were appointed as "Community Ambassadors" under the "Daqiao Choir" program to creatively promote neighborhood stories and events. Meanwhile, "Daqiao Forum" established a volunteer reward system where service hours can be exchanged for training or community resources.
Concurrently, a third-floor charity market featuring intangible cultural heritage workshops, family photography, and recreational sports attracted multi-generational participation. The center exemplifies how grassroots initiatives can create significant social impact through localized connections.
