The renovation includes repairing or building sidewalks, standardizing door plaques, building new cultural walls and publicity boards, adding street lights, cameras and road railings, sorting out road potholes, repairing and adding green plants, and adding standard parking spaces for charging piles.

In addition, smart municipal and sanitation facilities will be added and outdoor fitness, leisure places and pocket parks will be built in suitable areas.

The project will solve problems such as reckless parking, overflowing sewage, haphazardly-placed stalls, narrow sidewalks and inconvenient transportation.

It is expected to lay a solid foundation for promoting the construction of new urbanization and make life more convenient for residents.
