[Reporter Lai Xiaotong/New Taipei Report] The New Taipei City Government promotes the "Fuzhong Twin Cities" aesthetic demonstration base, and promotes renovation and maintenance in a public manner. The old houses of 13 buildings on Beimen Street in Banqiao District have been resurfaced, and the mottled and peeling exterior walls have been magnetized. The bricks were repainted, and the air-conditioning outdoor units were uniformly covered and decorated with aluminum grilles, which improved the original dirty and messy appearance and revived the vitality of the "old city".

In order to create a friendly living and pedestrian environment, the city government has reversed the "ancient city" (Linjia Garden, MRT Fuzhong Station) and "new city" (Xinban Special Zone, MRT Yunbanqiao Station), the last of which, Fuzhong Plaza, was completed on January 5 this year. At the same time, the city government promoted the Dugeng Sanjian "Demonstration Street Environment Improvement Plan" and provided subsidies to help the old houses in the community facelift for free.

Du pointed out that this project is located directly opposite the renovation project of Huangshi Market in Banqiao, and it is the only way to get to the Lin Family Garden. After the renovation of the old house is completed, it will add lively and bright colors to the appearance of the building and improve the surrounding environment.

Among them, the public renovation and maintenance project of 13 old houses on Beimen Street, combined with the renovation of the "two axes and three squares" pedestrian space-time corridor, beautifies the cityscape.

Huang Guofeng, director of the Urban and Rural Development Bureau, expressed his gratitude to the residents for their active integration. Facing the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic during the construction period, the construction cost doubled. The city government insisted on construction quality, reserved passages, and made temporary canvas signs for businesses, so as not to affect the business of the shops on the first floor. At the same time, a lottery will be held to attract people to shop at physical stores on Beimen Street, help businesses to promote, and promote the development of the Fuzhong business district.

Zhang Shouwen, director of the Urban Renewal Department, said that "Fuzhong Twin Cities" is a 10-year vision plan of the municipal government. Through the hardware improvement project of "Dual Axis and Three Squares", a friendly pedestrian space will be created on Xianmin Avenue, Chongqing Road, and Beimen Street to connect The new and old twin cities of Banqiao District will create the "Fuzhong Aesthetics Demonstration Base" in Banqiao; combined with the year-round software marketing activities, the citizens will have an in-depth experience of the history, culture and local specialties of the "Fuzhong Twin Cities".
