Maoming Prefabricated Slab Structure Housing
By 2026, Maoming City's policy direction for prefabricated slab structure housing is to 'steadily advance governance and renovation' rather than 'unified demolition'. The specific policy logic and implementation directions are as follows:
1. Classification and Disposal Principle: Safety Grade as the Core Criterion
Maoming City clearly classifies and disposes of old housing based on 'safety grade' and 'repairability', rather than solely using building form (such as prefabricated slab structure) as the basis for demolition. Among them, Grade D dangerous housing (with severely damaged structures that cannot meet safety requirements for use) is listed as a priority for demolition and renovation, while prefabricated slab houses need to be professionally evaluated for their actual safety conditions: if the main structure of the house is stable and only has local aging or functional defects (such as aging pipelines and inadequate aging adaptability), priority is given to renovation through repair and reinforcement, pipeline updates, and functional improvements, rather than direct demolition.
2. Governance Logic for Prefabricated Slab Houses: Repair Prioritized over Reconstruction
The policy emphasizes that 'an old building ≠ a dangerous building, and a prefabricated slab ≠ a must-demolish building', with the core considerations being resource utilization efficiency and residents' living needs. According to the national experience in old residential community renovation (2019-2024), over 70% of the projects focus on 'repair, modification, and supplementation' aspects such as roof waterproofing, exterior wall insulation, staircase repair, pipeline updates, parking optimization, and aging adaptability improvements, rather than complete demolition and reconstruction. If a prefabricated slab house can enhance its seismic performance through reinforcement and meet modern living needs through pipeline modifications, the necessity for demolition and reconstruction is significantly reduced. Especially when the house is located in the urban core area or the demolition cost is too high, repair and renovation are more economically viable and feasible.
3. Policy Implementation Direction: Dynamic Assessment and Precise Governance
Maoming City requires 'classification check-ups' for prefabricated slab houses, using structural safety inspections and usability assessments to determine the renovation priority for each building. For prefabricated slab houses with major safety hazards (such as wall cracks and failure of load-bearing components), they will be included in the dangerous housing renovation plan; for houses that meet safety standards but have outdated functions, living quality will be improved through community micro-renewal, elevator installation, and additional parking spaces. The policy goal is to balance safety, economic, and livelihood needs, avoiding resource waste and social conflicts caused by 'one-size-fits-all' demolition.
