An international grand meeting is a rare development opportunity for a city.

Just as the Olympic Games is in Beijing, the World Expo is in Shanghai, the Asian Games is in Guangzhou, and the G20 is in Hangzhou … In recent years, in the process of organizing international grand events, major cities in China have welcomed guests from all over the world and completed the important task of the country, at the same time, they have accelerated the upgrading of urban environment, industrial transformation and upgrading, and the promotion of civil civilization, forming a set of mature and complete "grand event development science".

The 7th military world games is the same for Wuhan.

On the evening of July 24th, Wuhan held the sixth meeting of striving to catch up and catch up, which encouraged the whole city to raise high standards and vigorously promote the comprehensive environmental improvement, so as to welcome the military games with a world-class urban environment. Among many regions, Wuhan Airport Economic and Technological Development Zone (Dongxihu District) has a heavy responsibility:

Looking at the geographical location, the airport is located at the northwest gateway. The Hantan and Hanyi railways are the main passages to enter Wuhan in the west. The East and West Lake section of the second passage of the airport is the only place from Tianhe Airport to downtown Wuhan. This is the first stop for the world to know Wuhan.

Looking at the undertaking task, Dongxihu Sports Center undertakes three events of football, table tennis and water rescue in the military games, and the Eurasian Convention and Exhibition Hotel and Newbinkai Hotel located on the bank of Jinyin Lake are shortlisted for the reception hotels.

Looking at the resource endowment, Dongxihu Lake is named after the lake, and there are 26 lakes dotted around it. gold and silver lake is the largest urban wetland park in Wuhan, which is an important carrier to show Wuhan’s rich ecological resources and environmental management effectiveness.

Looking at the development trend, Linkong Airport is one of the three state-level development zones in Wuhan. Five emerging industries, such as chips, display screens, intelligent manufacturing, network security, big data and new energy, are gathered together. The industrial growth rate from January to June is 9.8%, ranking first among the three development zones. It is an important window to show the high-quality development atmosphere in Hubei.

Chen Xiexin, director of the Management Committee of Wuhan Airport Economic Development Zone and secretary of Dongxihu District Committee, demanded that the theme activity of "Clean Home for Military Transportation" should be carried out according to the requirements of "creating a first-class competition environment, building first-class venues and facilities, setting up first-class organizations and providing first-class service guarantee", and efforts should be made to realize the "butterfly change of environmental appearance, qualitative change of taste standards, change of management methods and evolution of citizens’ civilized quality".

This July, the weather in Wuhan was in full swing, the airport was full of fighting spirit, the venue construction was in full swing, the environmental improvement was attended by the whole people, and the value of the face was improved immediately. A few days ago, all-media reporters from Hubei Daily visited the area and felt the military enthusiasm here.

Railway side train office claim management task

Han-Dan (Han-Yi) Railway passes through the airport, passing through five streets, namely Cihui, Changqing, Zoumaling, Xin ‘andu and Xingou Town, with a total length of 50 kilometers. It takes only 20 minutes to walk by train, but the environmental improvement along the railway is very complicated.

On July 7th, Peng Tao, the executive deputy director of the Economic Development Zone Management Committee of the Airport and the head of Dongxihu District, led the Executive Committee of the District Military Games, the District Urban Management Committee and the responsible persons of relevant streets along the railway to take the train for on-site investigation. More than 10 people boarded the green leather train from Hankou Railway Station to Yingcheng. "Within 15 meters along the railway, there is a strict pipeline, and 50 meters is a strict control line". "Illegal buildings should be demolished, exposed garbage should be removed, and the greening quality should be improved" … The group walked and watched, and the heads of various departments and streets claimed the governance tasks on the spot.

After the inspection on the same day, the District Urban Management Committee used drones to shoot at high altitude to find problems, and then organized people to walk around the dead ends that drones could not shoot, so as to further investigate the problems in detail. After the "trinity" three-dimensional inspection of train inspection, drone shooting and walking inspection, the District Urban Management Committee worked out a rectification list of 41 problems, which were decomposed and implemented in various responsible units and sold regularly.

Peng Tao stressed that it is necessary to take the opportunity of comprehensive improvement of the environment of the military games to comprehensively improve the appearance of the city along the railway, not only to be neat and orderly, but also to beautify and upgrade, and to shape the ecological landscape line along the railway in Dongxihu District.

Roadside construction site enclosure becomes urban landscape

Jinshan Avenue near the airport is connected to the sports center in the west, the waiting hotel in the middle and Tianhe Airport in the east, which is one of the important military transportation guarantee routes. This avenue, which was built in the 1990s, is 14 kilometers long, with six lanes in both directions, with trees on both sides and lakes in a string, and is known as "the first road in Jingchu". However, in recent years, due to subway and real estate construction, there are many construction sites along Jinshan Avenue, and the enclosure is messy and unsightly.

At the beginning of this year, the district launched a special rectification campaign for construction sites along the security lines of the military games, focusing on upgrading the construction sites around the five security lines of the military games, including Jinshan Avenue. According to the person in charge of the District Urban and Rural Construction Bureau, the construction sites under construction, demolition sites and reserved land around the five guaranteed roads should be "standardized in construction enclosure, fully hardened in main roads in the site, standardized in vehicle washing, normalized in process management, covered with non-operating earthwork, and intelligently managed in spraying facilities".

On the 26th, the reporter saw in the construction site of gold and silver lake Building that the whole site was surrounded by a giant enclosure about three meters high, and there was no dust flying, and the walls were covered with green plants, which became a beautiful urban landscape.

At present, the area has completed the beautiful vision on both sides of the second passage of the airport, the cleaning of temporary facilities such as Huaxing Morning Dragon City, Evergrande Evergreen Garden, the exit of Metro Line 2 and nearby ditches, as well as the greening and planting work in the gap inside the wall of the construction site. More than 20 vehicles of white garbage and construction waste have been cleaned up, covering 300 square meters with loose soil, 7,000 square meters of ploughing and greening planting, and 3 temporary sheds on the construction site have been regularized, totaling 500 square meters. At the same time, the Airport Economic Development Zone will carry out monthly supervision and evaluation of the rectification of construction sites, and immediately order the construction sites that fail to meet the standards to stop work and rectify, and strive to complete the rectification before the end of September this year.

Ecological wetland greenway will be built in gold and silver lake by the lake.

Dongxihu Lake is named after the lake, and it thrives because of the lake. Among them, the water area of gold and silver lake is 816.1 hectares, and the total planned green area along the lake is 432.9 hectares. The Wuhan National Urban Wetland Park, which covers an area of 77 hectares, is located in this area. The coastline of Jinyinhu Lake is rich in forms, and the ecological environment resources such as lakes, ponds, rivers, islands, forests and fields are superior. There are 8 peninsulas and 7 branches of the harbor, accompanied by rivers and lakes, which are ecologically interesting, with lush forests and trees. "gold and silver lake will be an important window to show the world the achievements of Wuhan’s ecological governance and the charm of the’ City of Hundred Lakes’." According to the person in charge of the District Water Affairs Bureau, in order to further improve the environment in gold and silver lake, the district has launched a plan to improve the water quality. In 2017, the district has invested more than 60 million yuan to renovate 44 sewage outlets in residential areas around gold and silver lake, realizing the separation of rain and sewage and the complete collection of sewage. The second phase of this year’s work started, and more than 40 million yuan was invested to transform the sewage outlets in the remaining 25 communities. "It will be completed before the military games next year, when no sewage will directly enter the lake." The District Water Affairs Bureau also started the construction project of gold and silver lake National Water Conservancy Scenic Area.

According to the introduction of the District Bureau of Landscape Architecture, it will invest 1.06 billion yuan to upgrade the ecological landscape of gold and silver lake and build a characteristic ecological wetland greenway. With the design concept of "a hundred-mile lake bank green corridor and a thousand-acre peninsula full of flowers", ten characteristic tourist parks will be added through six strategies of "connecting greenways, increasing functions, adding scenic spots, integrating culture, gathering activities and brightening night scenes", which will run through the 50-kilometer greenway around the lake to realize "harmony between the city and the lake". A complete entrance system will be laid out along the road around the lake to meet the functional requirements of service center, parking, catering, sales, toilets, medical aid and other full coverage, guide tourists into the depths of the lake, and make gold and silver lake full of scenery and people everywhere.

Sports benefiting the people

Dongfeng helps speed up the construction of sports venues in the military games

Dongxihu is an advanced unit of mass sports in China, with a per capita sports area of 2.81 square meters, and the proportion of sports population ranks among the top in Wuhan.

In recent years, driven by the upsurge of preparing for the military games, the sports and fitness position of the airport has been continuously expanded, and the 17,000-square-meter gold and silver lake citizens’ cultural and sports activity center is expected to be completed within this year; New multi-functional community sports fields will be built, and each street and community (brigade) will have at least one sports square of not less than 500 square meters; 312 fitness stations in 138 communities in the whole region have all been registered, and a "10-minute fitness circle" has basically taken shape.

However, the person in charge of the Cultural and Sports Bureau of the district said frankly: before the military games, the large-scale stadiums in the district were still blank-only a few universities, vocational schools and middle schools in the district had open-air stadiums, which could only accommodate thousands of people, and large-scale activities, sports events and cultural performances with a scale of over 10,000 people were all out of reach of the airport. "Before 2016, I imagined how wonderful it would be to build a stadium with 10,000 people."

In 2016, happiness suddenly came: in order to host the related competitions of the military games, the Economic Development Zone of the Linkong Airport decided to spend 2 billion yuan to build a sports center, including a stadium with a capacity of 30,000 people, a gymnasium with a capacity of 8,000 people and a swimming pool with a capacity of 1,000 people.

According to the person in charge, the sports center will be built according to the top international level, and can host sports events at all levels, including individual Olympic events, and can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators in the Super League and China A competitions. After the completion of the stadium, it will become the third largest local stadium in Wuhan after Zhuankou Sports Center and Guanggu Wuwang Center, "so that the sports infrastructure of the airport can also keep up with the pattern of national development zones."

participation by all the people

The whole district dresses up the "first floor" of Wuhan Yingbin.

Wuhan Airport Economic Development Zone is named after its close proximity to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport. After leaving the airport, take a bus to the second passage of the airport. In the Huangpi area, farmland, wetlands and Fuhe rivers along the line are connected into paintings, which are idyllic. After passing through the airport area, you can enter the urban area of Wuhan, and the scenery on both sides instantly switches styles, with high-rise buildings and bustling eyes.

Therefore, the airport is the "gateway" for the world to understand the urban area of Wuhan, and a 28-storey residential building in the Vision City Community of Jiangjun Road in this area has become the "first floor" for welcoming guests.

Zhang Xiangdong, head of the District Urban Management Committee, said that during the military games, a large number of international politicians, athletes and spectators from all over the world came to Wuhan by plane. The first impression was this building. "The building must be beautifully renovated, especially at night, and it must be full of brilliance, highlighting the quality of the city." In view of the lighting work along the main roads of the Military Games, the Executive Committee of Wuhan Military Games has formulated a special work plan, inviting the design team from Beijing to carry out unified design, and then handing it over to all districts for construction. "All the lights along the line will be unified in style and linked with each other, and it will be like watching a light and shadow music show all the way." As the opening of the whole "Music Show", the lighting of Building No.5 in Vision City has become a top priority.

On the 25th, all-media reporters from Hubei Daily visited the community and found that the lighting of Building No.5 was different from other buildings-instead of "carving" the edge of the building with light strips, thousands of LED sodium lamps were used to lay the wall all the way from the first floor to the top floor. According to the person in charge of the lighting work in the district, similar construction will be carried out for the three high-rise buildings next to the building. After the completion, all the LED lights of the four buildings will be on, which looks like four huge LED screens standing in the air from a distance. "You can change fonts, project images, and then reflect the LOGO of the military games. The visual effect is very shocking."

Reportedly, different from other places, the district has established the idea of "government-led, enterprise participation and residents’ recognition" from the beginning of building lighting, and mobilized real estate developers of various buildings to actively participate in lighting construction. With the joint promotion of the District Construction Bureau and the District Urban Management Committee, this idea has won strong support from real estate developers along the line. Lin Yongzhi, the project manager of Wuhan Jinyintan Real Estate Co., Ltd., the developer of Vision City Community, said that according to the requirements of the Executive Committee of the Military Games, there are 8 buildings in the company that need lighting, with a total investment of nearly 3 million yuan, all of which will be borne by the company. "As a private enterprise registered in the airport, it is natural to support the Military Games, and the lighting project will greatly enhance the quality of the real estate and the visibility of the enterprise, and the investment is absolutely worthwhile."

However, lighting construction has also encountered resistance. According to Lin Yongzhi, although technical measures have been taken to optimize, some light will be injected into residents’ homes at night, resulting in light pollution. "At first, a few residents in Building No.5 did not understand and support this." After learning the news, the District Urban Management Committee, in conjunction with Jiangjun Road Street Office, organized neighborhood committees, industry committees and property management companies to take the initiative to visit to understand the situation and listen to public opinions. On the one hand, they fully understood the reasonable demands of residents, appropriately optimized the lighting design scheme and lighting time, and reduced the impact on residents’ lives; On the other hand, the relevant knowledge of the military games was fully publicized, so that residents could understand its significance. Finally, the construction was successfully completed with the support of residents.

The relevant person in charge of the Airport Economic Development Zone said, "The Military Games is not a solo of the Party Committee and government, but a chorus of the whole people. I am very pleased that enterprises and residents in the jurisdiction can actively support and participate in the military games."

Precise supervision

"dialectics of speed" in sports center

Dongxihu Sports Center, with a total construction area of 145,000 square meters and an investment of about 2 billion yuan, is the largest livelihood project with single investment in this area. The project has a large volume, tight construction period and high social concern. At the beginning of the project, the main leaders of the Airport Economic Development Zone proposed to move forward the supervision gate, escort the project construction, and build the sports center into a clean government project, a popular project and a quality project.

At the beginning of 2016, the Supervision Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Dongxihu District set up a special supervision class to station in the project, and conducted the whole supervision by attending the project meeting, visiting the project site regularly, and accessing relevant materials.

Ming Jiang, director of the investment and development department of the Airport Investment Group, who is in charge of the construction of the sports center, recalled that in March 2016, the group selected an exploration unit to conduct a preliminary exploration of the geological conditions of the land where the project is located through the bidding procedure, but in November 2016, when the project started the bidding work of the general contractor, some evaluation experts found signs of karst caves under the foundation from the preliminary exploration drawings. "Special exploration must be carried out to eliminate risks."

According to the normal engineering specifications, it is necessary to bid again, but it is bound to delay the time. "In order to save time, we ask whether we can directly designate the preliminary exploration unit to do special exploration?"

After learning this information, the Supervisory Committee of the District Commission for Discipline Inspection attached great importance to it and asked the special class to conduct research and judgment. After carefully studying the relevant professional materials and understanding the construction schedule, the special class determined that "the bidding must be re-invited, and the construction period can be unaffected as long as it is scientifically and reasonably arranged." In the end, Lingairdrop Group re-tendered and selected the exploration unit according to the relevant requirements, and optimized the exploration plan, saving nearly half of the exploration time and ensuring that the construction period was not affected.

The relevant person in charge of the Supervision Committee of the District Commission for Discipline Inspection said that the supervision pass should be moved forward "without vacancy, ultra vires, chaos and good control". "Only by selecting qualified exploration units through strict procedures can we ensure the smooth progress of the follow-up projects and not rework them because of procedural problems, so that the project construction can be’ slow and fast’." At present, 80% of all construction projects of the sports center have been completed and are progressing steadily as planned.
