民生一件事｜多举措助力“增梯”落地 按下老楼装电梯“加速键”

Core Viewpoint - The installation of elevators in old residential communities is a significant public welfare project, facing challenges primarily due to the lack of consensus among homeowners, particularly those living on lower floors [1][7]. Group 1: Project Implementation - The city of Kunshan has incorporated elevator installation into its old community renovation plan, facilitating accelerated progress through unified planning and financial subsidies [1][3]. - As of now, Kunshan has issued over 33 million yuan in subsidies for the renovation of old communities [6]. Group 2: Community Engagement - A major obstacle to elevator installation is opposition from low-floor residents, with 83.7% of failed installations attributed to a lack of homeowner consensus [7]. - Kunshan has established a dedicated elevator installation service studio to explore effective methods for unifying neighborhood opinions, including face-to-face meetings to foster communication and consensus among residents [7][8]. Group 3: Financial Support - The local government provides special subsidies and renovation funds, allowing residents to cover less than half of the total cost for a 550,000 yuan elevator [5].
