Project Overview

Current Situation: The sub-district covers an area of 2.12 square kilometers with a resident population of 73,000, among which 47% are elderly residents. It features aging residential communities with inadequate infrastructure, insufficient public green space, and a fragmented resource recycling system.

Cause Analysis: As a typical clustered old residential area in a megacity, the sub-district was constructed in early years under urban planning standards that did not incorporate low-carbon development, sponge city construction and ecological operation concepts, resulting in inherent deficiencies in supporting infrastructure.

Traditional community governance has long focused on basic livelihood services, lacking systematic green space renovation, standardized energy conservation management and targeted low-carbon incentive mechanisms for residents. This leads to low ecological efficiency of public spaces, low resource utilization efficiency and insufficient penetration of environmental and low-carbon popularization.

Implementation Foundation: Since the sub-district fully launched the comprehensive improvement project for green and low-carbon space governance within its jurisdiction, it has targeted the pain points of green transformation in old communities and steadily pushed forward implementation. All construction tasks have been carried out in an orderly manner with mature and stable operational mechanisms.

At present, a three-in-one practical system covering quantifiable, demonstrable and traceable carbon reduction effects, space upgrading and public participation has been established. Complete work ledgers, records of regular activities and on-site image materials have been compiled. The project delivers solid practical outcomes with sufficient supporting documents, boasting prominent demonstration and promotion value.

Project Outcome

Focusing on the deficiencies in low-carbon governance of old communities in megacities, the project deeply integrates space upgrading, digital empowerment and public co-governance, shifting local green development from sporadic renovations to systematic and regular operation with remarkable overall results and strong replicability.

Prior to implementation, the sub-district’s old residential compounds suffered from inadequate facilities, fragmented green landscapes and disjointed waste recycling systems. Public spaces lacked low-carbon science popularization facilities, residents showed low willingness to participate, office energy consumption remained high, and there was no long-term low-carbon governance mechanism in place.

The sub-district has achieved comprehensive improvements in the quality and efficiency of low-carbon governance, with marked upgrades to spatial environment, management capacity and residents’ living experience.

The project features multi-dimensional and innovative practices.

First, model innovation: it explores an old community low-carbon governance path of “space micro-renewal + digital carbon incentive + public co-construction”. Adopting low-cost and refined renovation to revitalize idle space without large-scale reconstruction, the model is highly adaptable to the actual conditions of old communities.

Second, mechanism innovation: the “Low-Carbon Linfen Renewal” carbon incentive system has been established to launch categorized low-carbon initiatives for residents, merchants and government staff, effectively solving the problem of insufficient and unsustained public participation due to the lack of incentive measures.

Third, collaborative innovation: guided by Party building, the project unites multiple stakeholders to form a full-chain governance system covering space operation, ecological popularization and resource recycling, and build an all-region co-governance pattern.

With mature operational mechanisms, the project boasts outstanding sustainability and promotional value. At present, the sub-district saves 12,000 kWh of electricity and 800 tons of water annually.

The community waste sorting accuracy rate remains above 92%, and the volume of recyclables has increased by 45%, with more than 10,000 residents participating in the carbon incentive program. Featuring low investment, rapid implementation and wide adaptability, this standardized and normalized model can be widely replicated for the low-carbon transformation of old communities across major cities.
