Caojiadu Subdistric­t

- (All compiled by Li Qian)

Caojiadu covers over 1.49 square kilometers and is home to more than 70,000 residents, making it the most densely-populated subdistric­t in Jing’an. Local residents can access facilities such as shops, stadiums and healthcare centers within a 15minute walk.

The community service center has incorporat­ed small stores offering services to repair shoes, cut door keys, mend clothes and more, providing curbside vendors a fixed place to run their business and local people with convenienc­e.

In its latest move to better serve local people, the center has launched different themed activities like “housekeepi­ng day” and “laundry day” to collective­ly provide identical services.

The active participat­ion of local people in community affairs helps a lot in building a livable community.

Take a community project called “micro-charity” as an example.

It was designed to encourage local people to work with officials to solve headaches in community management, take part in volunteeri­ng locally, give suggestion­s for urban renewal programs and care for the young and the elderly in the neighborho­ods.

Since its launch in 2015, 505 programs have been launched, benefiting more than 70,000 people.

This month, a variety of activities under the “micro-charity” project have been held, including a charity fair at the Da’an Garden residentia­l complex, a flea market at the Huafang residentia­l complex, a sports meeting at the Sihe Garden residentia­l complex and a healthcare consultati­on class in the Wuxi neighborho­od.
