"Guiyang's hottest new landmark for clocking in", "Guiyang's busiest place at night and favorite place for young people", "Encounter the bustling market and feel the world of Guiyang"... Enter the four words "Qingyun Market" into the search engine, and various shopping tips and tourists' clocking notes fill the screen, showing the popularity.

"Who would have thought that this place was a desolate old factory building?" On May 14, at the consultation meeting of the CPPCC National Committee on the handling of the key proposal of "accelerating urban renewal", focusing on the integrated development of urban renewal and youth, Yue Wei, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and head of the Youth Rights Protection Department of the Communist Youth League Central Committee, asked with a smile, and immediately referred to the old factory buildings in Guiyang as "deformation" The story unfolds slowly.

"In the process of renovating the old factory buildings, the local government has organically integrated the youth element, and innovatively created a youth friendly new business type block like" Qingyun Market ". Today, the daily per capita flow of the block can reach 38000 person times. In the local people's own words, it has changed from the "industrial rust belt", which is rarely seen, to the "youth show", which is full of fashion, and has ignited the human fireworks of the block economy! " Yue Wei said.

In his view, youth, as a dynamic group of urban development, is the main group to expand urban consumption demand. The organic integration of youth elements in urban renewal can not only increase vitality and power for urban renewal, but also promote the "two-way rush" and common development of cities and youth.

"Since 2022, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League has begun to pilot the construction of youth development cities in the country. Innovation experiences like Guiyang are numerous at the grass-roots level," said Yue Wei. For example, in Ciqikou Ancient Town, Chongqing, more than 300 young "urban reconstruction teachers" have been guided to participate in micro renewal, creating "12 alleys in the ancient town" with youth participation, youth management and youth love, cultivating more than 100 managers of the youth community, and attracting more than 3000 young people to work and start businesses here. For another example, the urban village reconstruction project in Shenzhen, the youth city in Shijiazhuang high-speed railway area, and Shanghai's transformation of Bailian ZX Fun Center with the new trend of "dimension" have all incorporated the wishes and aspirations of young people into the urban renewal, better stimulating the consumption potential of young people, and improving the social governance and management level of the whole city.

"Urban renewal needs to listen more to the voice of young people and reflect youth elements, and urban quality improvement needs to be more in line with the characteristics of youth development. Urban life, culture, consumption, etc. can be strengthened to" adapt to the green ". Yue Wei believes that" golden horn and silver edge ", such as space under urban viaducts, roof space, abandoned factory buildings, can change their thinking, Build it into a "pocket park" and "fitness park" popular with more young people, so that young people can enjoy the convenience of urban life nearby.

"At the same time, in the protection and utilization of urban historical buildings and historic blocks, we can follow the trend of young people's love for Chinese excellent traditional culture, and promote the integrated development of 'history+culture+youth'. We can also follow the trend of youth night economy development, and support the construction of 'youth market' and other consumer places with strong youth flavor," said Yue Wei, "'Cities are more friendly to young people, and young people are more promising in cities'. It is suggested to pay more attention to youth elements in urban physical examination, further highlight youth functions in urban planning, further create youth scenes in urban quality improvement, and support youth to jointly build and share urban renewal."
