Core Viewpoint - The installation of elevators in old residential communities is facing significant challenges, leading to incomplete projects and wasted resources, which undermines public trust in urban renovation policies [1][2] Group 1: Issues in Elevator Installation Projects - Many elevator installation projects are becoming "half-finished projects," resulting in halted work and abandoned projects, which disappoints residents and wastes valuable resources [1] - Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the process, including uncontrolled fund supervision, lack of corporate responsibility, ambiguous construction standards, and obstructed acceptance processes [1] - Specific cases highlight the issues, such as a project halted for three years due to the contractor's financial issues, leading to residents losing their advance payments [1] Group 2: Proposed Solutions - Strengthening fund supervision is essential, with suggestions to implement a "third-party custody + progress-based funding" model to ensure funds are used appropriately [2] - Enhancing corporate responsibility and industry self-discipline is crucial, including establishing credit records for elevator installation companies and linking construction quality to market access [2] - Shifting the governance focus to "full-cycle service" is recommended, with an emphasis on continuous oversight, safety inspections, and conflict resolution, supported by professional legal teams [2]

新华社北京2月4日电 题：拼出高质量！2026年各地推进城市更新有何新举措？ 新华社记者李杰、周闻韬、黄江林 在甘肃兰州，去年底五泉山公园下广场改造提升后，交通更便利了，预计年带动周边消费超亿元； 在天津和平，张园纪念馆精心修缮不久前焕新开放后，文化味更浓了，成为游客打卡点……从2025年地 方实践来看，各地城市更新工作亮点多、成色足。 来自住房城乡建设部的数据显示，2025年，全国新开工改造城镇老旧小区2.71万个；加装电梯1.4万 部，改善了居住条件，惠及470多万居民；打造"口袋公园"4700多个、城市绿道5800多公里，提升了城 市人居环境；建设改造地下管网15.6万公里。 "十五五"规划建议提出"坚持城市内涵式发展，大力实施城市更新，建设创新、宜居、美丽、韧 性、文明、智慧的现代化人民城市"。2025年12月召开的中央经济工作会议提出"高质量推进城市更 新"。 高质量推进城市更新，关键是要找准问题、有效解决问题。 "体检精准把脉，更新才有据可依。"甘肃省人大代表、兰州市市长刘建勋说，甘肃两会提出推进兰 州国家城市更新试点建设，兰州市将实施试点项目43个，并稳步推进金城老旧片区有机更新和白塔山庄 历史 ...

王琦 据《经济参考报》报道，当前，全面推进城镇老旧小区改造、提升居民生活质量的工作正有序推进中。 加装电梯作为其中一项重要的民生工程，正惠及越来越多居住在无电梯楼房的群众。然而在实际推进过 程中，由于资金监管、企业履责等漏洞，一些地方加装电梯成为"半拉子工程"，频现停工和烂尾，不仅 造成资金浪费、居民期盼落空，也引发矛盾。 加装电梯"烂尾"现象并非个例。有的项目付款多年仍未完工，材料堆积如山；有的承建公司资金链断 裂，留下未完成的工程和居民的无奈叹息；还有的因企业消极履责，如污水管粪管混排、修建时间过长 导致验收标准变化等，致使电梯验收困难，无法正常使用。这些"烂尾"工程不仅造成资金浪费，更影响 了小区环境，妨碍居民出行，激化了居民与企业、居民与居民之间的矛盾。 加装电梯项目沦为"半拉子工程"的背后，资金监管问题尤为突出。作为增设电梯的实施主体，业主虽然 承担着资金筹集与管理的职责，但因缺乏有效的资金监管机制，难以对承建公司的资金运作形成有效约 束。承建公司资金链断裂成为项目停滞的直接诱因——业主方既无法及时阻止资金转移，也难以在工程 收尾阶段推动问题解决，导致项目长期搁置。更严峻的是，"烂尾"后业主维权面临 ...
