房产专家:为啥城市“老破小”不拆迁重建,反而花钱改造升级
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-05-06 00:20
再看政策导向。从2020年启动旧改到现在,全国已经改造了近28万个老旧小区,加装电梯超过13万部, 惠及1.2亿人。 2025年更是计划在新增100万套城中村改造的基础上继续扩大规模,光35个大城市就有170万套城中村需 要改造。 这说明国家层面已经把"改"当成了主方向,拆迁重建反而成了例外。 最近几年,全国各大城市都在干一件事:给"老破小"房子"缝缝补补",而不是直接拆了重建。 很多人觉得奇怪,拆了盖新房多简单,为啥非要花冤枉钱改造?今天咱们就用数据和案例,把这事彻底 说清楚。 先看成本账。在北京、上海这样的一线城市,拆一套"老破小"的成本能吓死人。 光拆迁补偿这一项,每平方米就要6-8万,加上土地整理、新建建筑成本,总成本能达到每平方米1.5-2 万元。 而改造呢?住建部的数据显示,全国平均每平方米改造费用只要1000-3000元,是拆迁成本的十分之一 到五分之一。就拿广州来说,改造一个老旧小区的总成本,可能只够拆两栋楼的钱。 有人会问,改造能解决根本问题吗? 答案是肯定的。比如上海的石库门里弄,改造时保留了百年历史的建筑风貌,同时加装了现代化厨卫设 备,居民满意度从改造前的不足50%提升到80%以上。 ...
