Recently, Chengdu released the “Chengdu Urban Community Embedded Service Facility Construction and Operation Management Measures (Trial)”. The editor has organized some of the highly focused content regarding this management measure.
Q
1. What are community embedded service facilities?
Community embedded service facilities refer to functional facilities and adaptive services embedded in the public spaces of communities (residential areas), primarily providing diverse services such as elderly care, childcare, community meal assistance, and domestic convenience services for residents. These facilities are located within walking distance for residents, aiming to meet daily living needs and enhance the quality of community services. Specifically, they include care services for the elderly and children, convenient dining services for residents, and comprehensive services such as health management and cultural activities.

Q
2. What is the scope of application?
This measure applies to all urban communities within the administrative region of Chengdu, including both newly built residential areas and existing communities. In the implementation process, priority will be given to densely populated areas and areas lacking public service facilities.
A
Q
3. What types of land can be used to construct community embedded service facilities?
Community embedded service facilities can utilize the following types of urban construction land based on different functional types: residential land, public management and public service land, commercial service land, Class I industrial land, new industry land, Class I logistics and warehousing land, and square land.
A
Q
4. What land support policies are available for the construction of community embedded service facilities?
For non-profit facilities constructed with government investment, the original land use can remain unchanged for 5 years. Projects that utilize existing buildings for renovation can maintain the original land use and planning conditions for 5 years. The choice of land types is flexible, including residential land, public service land, and commercial service land, all of which can be used to construct community embedded service facilities.
A
Q
5. What are the area standards for community embedded service facilities?
The measures stipulate that the building area of community comprehensive service facilities should reach more than 30 square meters for every 100 households. For communities with better conditions and higher demand, it is recommended to reach more than 80 square meters. For community embedded service complexes, the building area should generally not be less than 600 square meters, and ideally reach more than 800 square meters if conditions permit.
A
Q
6. What are the requirements for the functional setup of community embedded service facilities?
The measures stipulate that community embedded service complexes should set up no less than 3 service functions, with elderly care and childcare services prioritized and emphasized. It is particularly important to note that childcare functions must be located on the third floor or below, and are strictly prohibited from being set in basements or semi-basement spaces to ensure safety.
A
Q
7. How should new residential areas be equipped with community embedded service facilities?
New residential areas need to consider the construction of embedded service facilities during the planning stage. During the land transfer phase, each district (city) county will propose clear construction requirements based on relevant standards, and the area of these service facilities will not be included in the project’s floor area ratio. Public service facilities must be planned, constructed, accepted, and delivered simultaneously with the development of new residential areas to avoid delays in supporting facilities.
A
Q
8. How can existing communities renovate or expand embedded service facilities?
Existing communities may have related service facilities, but if their area or functions do not meet standards, they can be moderately expanded in conjunction with urban renewal and the renovation of old residential areas. If existing service facilities are underutilized, adjustments can be made based on community needs and actual usage. If there is a gap in public service facilities, commercial buildings, office buildings, and old factory buildings can be converted into community embedded service facilities, following the requirements outlined in the notice from the Chengdu Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau and other departments regarding the implementation details for developing new industries, new business formats, and new commercial policies.
A
Q
9. What operational models are available for community embedded service facilities?
Community embedded services can adopt diversified operational management models. The public-private partnership model involves the government providing facility space and entrusting professional social organizations to operate; the private-public assistance model encourages market entities to invest in construction, with the government providing appropriate subsidies; the government procurement service model selects quality service providers through standardized procurement procedures.
A
Q
10. How can the safe operation of facilities be ensured?
Safe operation is of utmost importance. The measures require the establishment of a comprehensive safety management system, clarifying responsibilities, enhancing inspections, and regularly maintaining various facilities and equipment. For multifunctional spaces, a fire safety coordination mechanism must be established to ensure rapid and effective handling of emergencies.
