Construction, which was demolished in a few years, is now known as a "short-lived building" by netizens. In recent years, due to the rapid transformation of the old City, the frequent "short-lived buildings". How common is "short-lived architecture"?  What impact does it have on public psychology and life? Last week, the China Youth Daily Social Research center through the survey network and public opinion China network, 31 provinces (districts, municipalities) of 11824 people conducted a survey, 83.3% of people confirmed the existence of "short-lived architecture", of which 24.2% said "very much".  55.5% of people think that the "short-lived building" is now so frequent that the public has no sense of life and belonging. 70.6% of people said that the "most short-lived buildings" lasted but 10 years "North Drift" 5 years, Liu Xiaolei's biggest feeling is that Beijing is always in the construction, no matter where you can see the new project site, demolition News also heard. And her hometown, a city in Jiangxi Province, these two years have been building and demolition, the speed of the rapid surprise her, but also let her full of doubts, "online people ridicule ' The" is ' the demolition of ', is that we can not build high-quality buildings, or because of the need for urbanization?  "When asked about" the most short-lived building around you was demolished a few years later, "The survey found, 70.6% chose" less than 10 years ", 37% of whom chose" less than 5 years ". Jovins, director of the Zhongnanuniversity Center for Social Development, said in an interview with the Chinese Youth Daily that "short-lived buildings" appeared not because of lack of construction technology or quality management, but because some people's ideas had arisen. "Because many local leaders have less than 5 years of tenure, rebuilding is the easiest to see ' results '," he said. Jovins pointed out that another important reason is that in 1994, after the implementation of tax-sharing system reform in China, local governments, in order to expand their financial revenue and develop local economy, chose to take real estate as the main source of revenue.  But building a house is fast, after the completion of no profits, so only shorten its life to rebuild, in order to continue to profit.  In the survey, only 16.4% confirmed that there were "many" buildings for more than 50 years in their cities, 46.4% chose "some", 24.9% said "very little" and 7.4% felt "almost nothing." "Building life and the stage of urbanization development, in the same phase of different countries, the construction of the use of the cycle also has a great difference." Zhang Lei, a teacher of urban planning and management at Renmin University of China, told reporters that according to the 2009 building and residential statistics of Japan's land and Transport provinces, the building area of the Japanese intervention more than 50 years accounted for 6.6%, and the proportion of 30 years or more was 38%. According to the 2009 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development statistics, the United States 31.1% of the housing has more than 50 years of history, 58.8% of housing more than 30 years.  In contrast, the average life expectancy in China is relatively short, only 25 years ~30 years. Zhang Lei believes that the underlying cause of the massive emergence of "short-lived buildings" is that IThe values of the country's urban planning. "Now GDP has become the most important measure of social development." In this case, the urban planning also in accordance with short-term economic interests frequently change. "" Frequent demolition of the building will make our culture in a fractured state. "The king of the taxi driver is an old Beijing person, he lamented Beijing city Antique courtyard and Hutong has been left, everywhere is newly built high-rise buildings." "Will the young people in the future think that this is how Beijing is supposed to be?" The government can be demolished, but also have to protect and inherit, you see now the new house has a few with our own architectural characteristics of China? Master Wang often recalls the past, when neighborhood help each other, there is nothing to gather together to drink and chat.  And now, we rarely get together, even if meet, the topic is always "who home and demolition, how much subsidy" and so on. Zhang Lei believes that frequent demolition may destroy the city's inherent neighbourhood and social networks, and bring a series of negative effects on people's lives and psychology.  For some outside residents, the increased cost of entering the city has been caused by the frequent renovation of buildings, resulting in a reduction in the number of housing units they can afford, forced relocation of their addresses or new job search. "Frequent demolition will make some people in a sense of insecurity and belonging to the state of anxiety, can not achieve peace and contentment, which may also aggravate social contradictions." "Jovins pointed out that the frequent demolition of buildings will make our culture in a fractured state," Hong Kong people can also go to the Lu Yu Teahouse tea, but in Shanghai, many people may only go to Starbucks, the traditional things are unsustainable. "Jovins that frequent demolition will also cause serious waste of social resources."  Jovins has traveled to all parts of the country, he found that some farmers in the suburbs of the city, will also be difficult to cover up to tell him that he spent thousands of yuan of money and built a room, waiting for the demolition to take compensation. What are the effects of frequent demolition?  In the survey, 66.5% of the people preferred to "waste social wealth", followed by "urban planning is almost a joke" (59.6%), and another 55.5% people think that frequent demolition will make the public lose their sense of security and belonging. The next sort of order is: "Cause environmental pollution" (52.1%), "such as demolition of the impetuous mentality of compensation" (41.3%), "erase the historical memory of the City" (40.1%), "destruction of Architectural Relics" (36.8%).  Only 8% of people think that "constant change is often new and conducive to urban development". "Many local governments and people have misunderstandings about the image of the city," sometimes the original intention of the local government demolition is to attract investment, improve the residents ' environment and create a new image of the city. Zhang Lei found that many local governments and people have misunderstandings about the image of the city. In fact, the old buildings through the transformation can also be attractive, reflecting the integration of a multi-cultural image of the beautiful city, do not have to demolition and reconstruction. "There have been a lot of successful transformation cases at home and abroad, such as converting discarded flour workshops into museums and transforming old ones into creative workplaces," he said.  ”In addition to its investment and value-added role, the building should serve the life and work of the city's residents, Zhang said.  Urban planning and construction and demolition need to introduce public decision-making mechanism to reduce the randomness and contingency of individual decision-making. Jovins pointed out that the urgent task to solve the problem of "short-lived building" is to strengthen the seriousness and legal effect of the law of urban and rural planning, and speed up the enactment and implementation of the regulations on House expropriation and compensation in state-owned land.  In addition, we should give full play to the supervision of the people's congresses, to avoid the government demolition and other events. In this survey, 68.9% of the people think that it is necessary to pay attention to the scientific planning of the city. 59% of the people think that to change the officials ' GDP-led performance appraisal system, 58.7% of the people suggested that demolition and reconstruction decisions should be fully heeded by the public; 58.6% per cent said Planning and quality accountability mechanisms should be established; 53.8% of the people proposed to improve the quality of the building; 48.9% recommended sound vetting and control mechanisms.
