Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development: Promoting integrated urban physical examination and urban renewal.

Recently, a relevant person in the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development stated that various regions should integrate the urban physical examination with urban renewal, adhere to the principle of conducting physical examinations before renewal, and strengthen the connection between the application of urban physical examination results and the implementation system of urban renewal planning. This official said that it is necessary to carry out the urban physical examination work in 2026 in depth and implement the urban renewal action with high quality. Cities with prefectural status should comprehensively carry out urban physical examination work, and accelerate the full coverage of physical examinations in four dimensions: housing, neighborhoods, streets, and urban areas. It is necessary to conduct special physical examinations based on local conditions to address key tasks of urban renewal, and improve the work mechanism for discovering problems, solving problems, evaluating effects, and consolidating improvements. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development recently held a video conference to deploy the urban physical examination work for 2026. According to reports, last year, 297 cities at the prefecture level and above and 152 county-level cities nationwide conducted urban physical examination work, identifying and promoting the resolution of a number of urgent and difficult issues concerning the people, providing strong support for the high-quality implementation of urban renewal.
