A different urban landscape that is often ignored along the roadside in Shanghai--A glimpse of the street scene of house expropriation and demolition in Jiangwan Town, Hongkou District, Shanghai City

1. Preface

According to a report by the Labor News on January 6, 2000,"We're moving to a new home! Yesterday was the day when more than 800 households in six relocated plots including Jiangwan Town Street 340, 341, 354, and 355 in Hongkou District relocated collectively. This is also the first collective relocation of relocated residents in this area after the New Year in 2020."

After learning the news, he went to the demolition plot in Jiangwan Town to see the unique scenery of Shanghai, the Shanghai capital.

2. It was only 5 months from the time the city leaders came to investigate and the first batch of residents moved.

On August 5, 2019, city leaders came to Jiangwan Town, Hongkou District to investigate the old reform and demanded that efforts be made to solve the problem of "retention, modification and demolition";

An announcement was posted on September 10, 2019 that residents of six relocated plots including 340 and 341 in Hongkou District successfully passed the contract signing ratio;

On December 2, 2019, the "Housing Expropriation Decision of the People's Government of Hongkou District, Shanghai City" was posted;

On January 5, 2020, more than 800 households in the relocated land were relocated collectively for the first time.

3. Inspection record of Jiangwan Town's old city renovation house expropriation base

1. House expropriation base office

2. Various information such as announcements and announcements

3. Property rights exchange house information

South Railway Station in Songjiang District (four households chose this building).

Huinan Town, Pudong District (16 companies chose this building).

Cao Road, Pudong District (only six companies chose this building).

Lian Qijiacheng, Jiading District (only four households chose this building).

Nanqiao, Fengxian District (it seems that no household has chosen this building).

The nearest building to the relocation base-Mocuili in Rainbow Bay, Hongkou District, has a total of 316 units of housing available for purchase, and 109 units have been sold.

4. Current situation of expropriated houses

5. A mansion that was expropriated

Judging from the area of the documents collected this time, the Cao family can only rank 11th, indicating that there are still ten families larger than his family, with the maximum being more than 400 square meters.

This is a building with a history and a story. If the owner is willing to tell you its story, you can write a book. Shortly after the construction was completed in the 1930s, the Anti-Japanese War broke out and the houses were occupied by the Japanese; after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the houses were occupied by the Kuomintang troops; during the war years, in order to avoid the war, the owners of the houses fled the houses and took refuge in the city; after the Liberation and Cultural Revolution, the houses almost changed owners...

The house is 88 years old and has gardens in front of and behind the house.

The owner of the house at the time was only 35 years old.

The biggest feature of the house is that the height of each floor is 3.7 meters.

Since its construction, there has been no "settlement" deformation of the house.

It was just overhauled two years ago.

The owner is transplanting trees.

Banana trees and orange trees are both old.

The entire garden covers an area of about 0.68 acres, and there is also a small well.

After 88 years, the floor tiles are still intact and beautiful.

Stand on the second floor and watch the panoramic view of the garden.

The Cao family also has a back garden and a bathroom.

Because the mansion is not connected to piped gas and other reasons, it can only be based on the "old house" conversion coefficient, let alone a garden house, because to satisfy the garden house, there must be "hardware" facilities such as a garage and nanny room.

Storage room built in the back garden.

6. Street view of the relocated land

What is more unique is that this store has a very historical sense-Jiangwan Grain Purchase and Sales Station. A slight pity is that the word "Jiangwan" is blocked and cannot be dispatched. The local aborigines told me that they call this The grain management office in Jiangwan Town has existed for at least 60 years.

7. Closure of Sanjiaodi Vegetable Farm in Jiangwan Town

After 4 p.m. on January 20, 2020, I rushed there to witness the closure of Sanjiaodi Vegetable Market in Jiangwan Town, which had been in operation for about 60 years.

The vegetable market located at No. 26 Gongan Street, Jiangwan Town is used to call it the "Sanjiandi" vegetable market. In fact, it is not the Sanjiandi vegetable market after the intersection of Tanggu Road, Hanyang Road and Emei Road in the hearts of Shanghai people. It is only managed by Shanghai City Sanjiandi Vegetable Market Management Co., Ltd., and it should be called the "Jiangwan Vegetable Market." Local residents told me not to underestimate this vegetable market. It has a history of at least 60 years. Moreover, this vegetable market is very popular because the prices of vegetables are cheap, as cheap as Liangcheng New Village, Sanmen Road, Quyang New Village and other places within a few kilometers away. Some residents will come to buy vegetables.

By the way, don't underestimate Hongkou's "Zhengka" Sanjiandi Vegetable Market. It is also one of the 180 Chinese time-honored brands in Shanghai: in October 1993, it was named "Chinese Time-honored Brand" by the Ministry of Domestic Trade of the People's Republic of China; In May 2010, it was named "China Time-honored Brand" by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China. In June 2005, it was approved as a member by the China Time-honored Brand Working Committee of the China Federation of Commerce. In March 2011, it was recognized as a registered trademark "Triangle Land" by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China.

The Hongkou Sanjiaodi Vegetable Market, which has a history of about 130 years, was still the largest indoor vegetable market in Shanghai after liberation, ranking first among the four major vegetable markets in Shanghai (the next three are: Changshou Branch Road Vegetable Market, Julu Road Vegetable Market and Shaanxi North Road Vegetable Market).

Some stall renters are moving their food belongings.

At noon on January 23, 2020, I went to Jiangwan Vegetable Market again and saw the following scene.

By the way, Lin Weiyin, a Shanghai-style writer, once wrote an article "Hongkou Small Vegetable Market", which listed Sanjiaodi Vegetable Market as one of Shanghai's "100 Scenarios" and described the excitement and prosperity of Sanjiaodi Vegetable Market at that time. In one paragraph, she wrote: "... The vegetable market also diversified into businesses, selling Chinese bread, Russian bread, groceries, and flowers... The majority of the customers of the vegetable market are Chinese, as well as" Western housewives and Japanese chefs "; The main force of customers is individuals, and of course there are big group buyers like the Wanguo Business Group..."Interested people can go to this book to understand the glory of Hongkou Sanjiao Food Market.

The demolition of Sanjiaodi Vegetable Market in Jiangwan Town will definitely cause inconvenience to nearby residents, and may be a lifestyle change for the operators of rental stalls.

8. New homes that relocated residents are about to move into

This expropriation provides a total of six areas of houses for everyone to choose from. One of them is in Hongkou District, the Rainbow Bay area of the Liangcheng Road extension section, which is only about a few kilometers away from the homes of the original relocated residents. Among the six housing sources, zero people chose Fengxian District, and 109 households chose Mocuili.

Since the building is located in the city, with complete supporting facilities for schools, hospitals, and elderly care institutions, although the price is nearly 50,000 yuan, the vast majority of collectors still choose to buy it. A total of 316 suites have been sold, and 109 have been sold.

4. Thoughts after viewing

1. The speed of relocation of six neighborhoods including 340 and 341 in Hongkou District of Jiangwan Town is amazing. Of course, it has been many years since the plot was said to be relocated, and the household registration has been frozen several times before and after.

2. Residents responded quickly and the rapid relocation demonstrated the attractiveness of the policy.

3. The demolition policy is quite transparent and open. If it is made public,"outsiders" in my bureau can enter it at will and see all the information inside, because everything you want to know is hung on the wall of the office of the house expropriation base. Policies, as well as the area information of each household and property owner information.

4. It is said that the residents of Shanghai have made a fortune due to relocation. Today, they are all one-sided. However, to be precise, it is certain that they can improve their lives by relocation. Those residents who were used to living in large houses all say that they will start living uncomfortable.

5. Through the expropriation and relocation of houses on this land, no one became rich, and no one talked about who became rich. They only said that they were not used to and unwilling to leave such a convenient place where they had lived for so many years.
