Beijing Hutong Conservation Plan - Tibet Heritage Fund

Housing Management
The Housing Department is in charge of the management of four types of housing, namely public housing, private housing, work unit housing and protected
cultural relics. Responsibilities are divided as follows:
Public housing: the Local Housing Department is in charge of day-to-day management and maintenance.
Private housing: Private owners take full responsibility for maintenance. Their ownership claim can be superseded by higher-level area planning and
redevelopment.
Work Unit housing: Government work-units provide housing for employees as part of their benefit package. Each work unit is in charge of management.
Sometimes the employees contribute to maintenance if they have long-term tenure.
Cultural Relics protected site: the local Cultural Relics Office is in charge of maintenance. Where protected sites are inhabited, the residents are required to
respect the architectural integrity of the building.
Economic management
The Industry and Commerce Administration is in charge of economic activities, supervising markets, business licensing, etc.
Public Security and Population Management:
For Public Security, there is a main police station in each district. Branch police stations manage security and safety of
communities, with a lot of residential cooperation.
Residential management is the responsibility of the police, being divided into management of local and non-native residents
(those without a Beijing residence permit, including migrant workers, temporary visitors, students and foreigners.)
Environment and Hygiene Management:
Environment and Hygiene Bureaus at local level are remarkably efficient at keeping the Hutong lanes clean and
collecting and recycling rubbish.
Greens Management:
Although there are not that many green spaces in the Hutong area, there is a great variety of trees, both in the
lanes and within the courtyards. The Green Office is in charge of recording and maintaining these trees.
Tourism:
Cultural heritage is one of the main features of Beijing city, making Beijing one of China’s top tourist destinations.
The conservation of the remaining historic areas is vital to Beijing’s identity and for the city’s long-term
commercial interests.
