Group 1 - The core idea emphasizes the importance of creating a livable urban environment, focusing on the harmonious coexistence of people and cities as a central goal of urban work [1][2] - From 2019 to 2024, a total of 280,000 old residential communities will be renovated, with 3.87 million parking spaces added and 78,000 community service facilities constructed, enhancing the convenience and comfort of urban life for residents [1] - The recent Central Urban Work Conference highlighted the need for a people-centered approach in urban development, aiming to improve infrastructure, public services, and urban governance to meet the high-quality living standards desired by the populace [2][3] Group 2 - The construction of livable cities requires balancing new developments with the renovation of existing structures, particularly in public services such as education, elderly care, and healthcare, which are critical to the public [2] - The shift from large-scale urban expansion to improving existing urban areas is underway, with a focus on integrating livelihood improvements with urban renewal to create new consumption scenes and urban landmarks [2] - Urban construction should focus on details that directly impact residents' lives, such as installing elevators in old communities and creating pocket parks, ensuring that urban development is responsive to the needs of the people [3]

城市存量资源类型丰富，涵盖旧厂房、老街区、闲置土地、低效利用的基础设施等。存量资源的形成， 有着复杂的历史原因。部分老旧建筑由于建成年代久远，功能布局难以满足现代生活需求；有的闲置土 地因规划调整或项目搁置，长期处于未开发状态；一些低效利用的基础设施，因技术迭代、城市功能变 迁，未能及时转型升级。这些存量资源若得不到有效激活，会造成土地和空间资源浪费，影响城市整体 形象与发展活力。 《中共中央国务院关于推动城市高质量发展的意见》提出，培育壮大城市发展新动能，激活城市存量资 源潜力。当前，我国城镇化正从快速增长期转向稳定发展期，城市发展正从大规模增量扩张阶段转向存 量提质增效为主的阶段，充分挖掘城市存量资源潜力，已成为破解空间制约、重塑城市动能的关键之 举。 这些年，不少地方积极推动盘活存量"唤醒沉睡资产"，让城市"边角料"变成"香饽饽"。旧厂房蜕变为文 化创意园区成为网红地标；零散的低效用地，改建为智慧停车场、养老服务站；废弃矿区修复后蝶变为 城市生态公园；改造后的老小区，让居民生活更加便捷舒适……这些转变不是简单"变脸"，也不是大拆 大建，而是通过功能提升、空间优化、设施升级，使存量空间重新融入城市肌理，成 ...

深挖城市发展潜力，重在盘活存量、优化增量。过去一些城市在短时间内高强度开发容易形成"摊大 饼"式扩张，出现人地失衡等问题，资源利用效率随之降低。要深刻认识到，盘活存量并非大拆大建， 要通过精准施策实现空间重构、功能提升、活力再造；优化增量旨在以人为核心，让每一项改革政策都 服务于人的需要和城市的可持续发展。要全面摸清房屋、设施、土地等资产资源底数，改造利用老旧厂 房、低效楼宇、闲置传统商业设施，加强规范管理，提高运用效能，实现存量资源的价值提升。与此同 时，统筹财政资金引导、金融工具创新、社会资本激活，积极探索包括建立健康可持续投融资体系在内 的增量政策，让城市建设运营真正惠及民生。 积蓄城市发展动力，贵在交流合作、对外开放。今年5月13日，第三届全球可持续发展城市奖（上海 奖）城市宣讲会召开。作为推动落实联合国2030年可持续发展议程和《新城市议程》的重要国际公共产 品，上海奖自2022年设立以来，已吸引全球百余个城市参与申报，成为中国城市深度参与人居领域国际 交流合作的鲜活注脚。无独有偶，杭州借"城市大脑"升级国际化服务，从西安出发的中欧班列拉着中国 制造疾驰远行……提升对外开放合作水平，中国城市不曾止步 ...
