Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street

Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is located in the west of central Wuhu City and the west of Jinghu City, with a total length of nearly 700 meters and a width of about 30-40 meters. It is a large commercial street with comprehensive functions and plays an important role in the development of Wuhu City. Since it was built and opened in 1999, pedestrian street has taken the lead in breaking the urban infrastructure in China. At the same time, pedestrian street combines regular supervision with surprise inspection, effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. By the traditional mode of government management, we have found an innovative way of market operation, enterprise management and social service.

brief introduction

Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street area was originally the most prosperous commercial city in Wuhu and even in southern Anhui. However, restricted by the ideology and natural environment, the land was extensively managed and the return was mediocre. Rui Jinxi, director of the city square scenic area office, once participated in the whole process of Zhongshan Road reconstruction. In an interview, he said that the original planning and construction of pedestrian street had the idea of changing the traditional urban management mode, and providing a material basis for city management by developing urban resources and enhancing land value. After the completion of the project, our city took the lead in implementing government control and market-oriented operation on the primary land market around urban blocks in the whole province. Liu Ping, deputy director of the Municipal Development Office, said that through price negotiation, bidding and auction of the right to use, the transfer fee for a plot of more than 6800 square meters on the side of Zhonghe road alone amounted to more than 16.5 million yuan, the transfer fee for 5300 square meters of the original municipal supply and Marketing Cooperative plot was more than 17 million yuan, and the transfer fee for 4800 square meters of the 19th daomen plot was more than 25 million yuan, with the land price several times and ten times higher than before the construction of the street. This kind of land use right controlled by the government in a certain area of the city and operated in a market-oriented way was later affirmed and promoted by the national and provincial land and resources management departments. The Chinese Western friendship garden, Zhongshan building and Jinding building successively built by real estate development enterprises in the above plots, in turn, enrich the block landscape. Urban construction and economic development can and must have a positive interaction. The successful practice of Zhongshan Road pedestrian street gives us such enlightenment.

effect

From the perspective of investment promotion and state-owned enterprise restructuring, the platform and catalytic role provided by Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street are also obvious. Over the past four years, 167 new business enterprises have settled down in the streets, including foreign-funded and Taiwan funded enterprises such as McDonald's, KFC and Yonghe soybean milk, foreign-funded enterprises such as Shanghai Lianhua, Hefei business capital, Nanjing new hundred phase II, Wenzhou Zhongshan building, Ginza building, Jicheng Plaza and Exhibition Center. A number of state-owned commercial enterprises took the "Noah's Ark" of block reconstruction to get rid of difficulties and move towards rebirth. Department stores, first department store, agricultural materials building, Xinhua shopping mall, Huaxing supermarket, etc. revitalize their assets through restructuring; Geng Fuxing, Ma Yixing, international color expansion and other ex situ redevelopment are more brilliant; wuxiangju, laoyuchang, fool melon seeds and other old stores in old blocks are newly opened Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street objectively promotes the integration of tertiary industry resources in our city, and makes a heavy contribution in the process of revitalizing Wuhu's business and trade. The State Commission of civilization, the State Administration of industry and commerce, and the State Administration of Quality Supervision jointly awarded the Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street as "a shopping street without fakes in a hundred cities and ten thousand stores", which injected new vitality into our city's modern commerce and trade based on integrity

history

As the first of the four major rice markets in China and one of the earliest trading ports, Wuhu's modern commerce once reached a period of prosperity

.

With the development of the city, Zhongshan road is extending and widening.

In 1902, the investment of 20000 taels of silver created the predecessor of Zhongshan Road, Dama road.

In 1912, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the great revolutionary forerunner, visited Wuhu and made a speech to Wuhu citizens on the main road. When Dr. Sun Yat Sen died in 1925, Wuhu changed the name of the main road to Zhongshan Road as a memorial to the great man. After the founding of new China, Zhongshan Road was reconstructed on a large scale in the early 1950s. The road was more than 10 meters wide, with commercial network on both sides. Zhongshan Road has gradually become the most popular commercial center in Wuhu, instead of the old image of withered industries due to years of war.

Time flies. With the establishment of Wuhu as the leading and regional economic center in the development of Wanjiang River, it is inevitable to build a modern business center. As a result, the transformation of Zhongshan Road business district was included in the government's work agenda. The construction of Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street has become one of the practical projects of Wuhu Municipal Party committee and government in 1999.

During the 20 day demolition period, more than 3000 households, units and self-employed households have been relocated, which is a miracle.

In the process of pedestrian street construction, there have been many moving stories. More than 4000 employees of 46 real estate development companies came to volunteer construction under the leadership of managers; the president of Wuhu second hospital brought the medical team to the construction site to deliver free medicine and medicine; ordinary people also sent water, drinks and eggs

With the enthusiastic support of the whole society, Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street was started in January 1999 and officially opened on September 29, 1999. The whole construction period took only nine months. The completed pedestrian street is 690 meters long, 30-40 meters wide and 160-180 meters deep from east to west. It is a commercial pedestrian street integrating shopping, tourism, leisure, culture, catering and other comprehensive functions, with a total investment of 140 million yuan.

A pedestrian street with modern business spirit and Wuhu characteristics is displayed in beautiful clothes in front of the world. From "main road" to pedestrian street, it records a city's desire to keep pace with the times and modernize
