In the NPC & CPPCC Session this year, Mr. Yu Bo, who is the member of CPPCC Jingzhou Commission and Deputy Manager of Jingzhou Culture andTourism Investment, submitted the proposal entitled Preservation and Utilization of Historical and Cultural Resources in Renovating the Old Town in Jingzhou. 

In the past few decades as the downtown of Jingzhou changes the location, the industry moves outward the city. The production capacity of the old neighborhoods lags behind. What’s more, the old-street pattern and construction quality are decreasing gradually. The styles of old streets are seriously undermined. On the one hand,we have the backward capacity and low-end commerce. On the other hand, we havethe deteriorating environment and traffic. Even worse, many modern buildings were besieged in the adjacency, the perservation of historical and cultural buildings in Jingzhou city are confronted with huge challenges. 

In theproposal, Yu Bo proposed: It is necessary to build the list of historical andcultural buildings, make effective control, plan and designate the reserve ofhistorical and culture protection, establish the protection system, clarify the responsibilities, speed up repair and protection, make rational development and use so that the ancient buildings will resume new energy.

At the sametime, our city compiled and issued the Overall Plan of Preserving the CityWall Antiques in Jingzhou and Regulations of Protecting Jingzhou Ancient Town, laying the basic framework of ancient town protection in Jingzhou, soas to ensure the approval, construction and management of the ancient town.
