Did the State Council issue a document to change the old and not unpack it, and exclude the rural areas?

It is not impossible to dismantle, but from the national source level, the large-scale demolition and transformation of "shanty towns" has been stopped and replaced by "old transformation", that is, tinkering and transforming the environmental facilities of the community. Instead of large-scale demolition. However, for the surrounding specific plots or communities, if demolition and expropriation are needed, it will still be carried out.

It is true that the State Council wrote that old houses can be rebuilt, but they cannot be demolished. According to the Guiding Opinions on Comprehensively Promoting the Renovation of Old Urban Residential Areas, in order to meet the residents' safety needs and basic living needs, the main contents are the renovation and upgrading of municipal supporting infrastructure and the maintenance of public parts such as roofs, external walls and stairs in residential areas.

All localities should reasonably expand the implementation units of renovation, promote the joint renovation of adjacent communities and surrounding areas, and strengthen the enjoyment of service facilities and public spaces. Strengthen the intensive and mixed use of existing land, and allow the use of existing land in communities and surrounding areas to build various environmental and supporting facilities and public service facilities without violating the planning and obtaining the consent of residents.
