8 1 years ago, a travel book named "new york-City of Lovers" described Fifth Avenue in this way: few streets can contain so many well-stocked and popular shops. In addition, many of these stores enjoy world reputation and have many branches. Almost all conceivable shops can be found in this street, and almost all conceivable commodities can be found here, such as ancient silverware, gems, pearls, decorations and so on, which are all available here. It is said that high-grade goods that can't be bought in any other city in the world can be bought on Fifth Avenue.

The core behind this is the Fifth Avenue Association established by 1907. When it was established, there was no concept of check in law or people's minds. In 1924, a leader of the association described the authorization of the group as follows: the premise of the establishment of the Fifth Avenue Association is that the only effective way to maintain the quality of tradition and Fifth Avenue is to support the government and policies, and at the same time establish a correct understanding of its needs and development potential. I believe that after the establishment of the organization, business progress and regional value will be the most direct results. At the same time, since the establishment of the association, we have formulated a clear urban development plan. The sole purpose of this plan is to ensure the high standard of Fifth Avenue. Prominent signs were removed, obstacles on sidewalks were removed, police protection was greatly strengthened, and small traders and unemployed people were prohibited from entering.

Reading this passage at the beginning of 2 1 century, although the exact location of some shops has changed, these descriptions are still consistent with the real situation for decades. What needs to be explained is that Fifth Avenue, which is now presented to you, has grown up under our years of guardianship and constant attention. After historical development, this street needs more different things to help it develop. Eight years ago, the association found that it needed a new focus. So the association initiated and created a new organization called Fifth Avenue Commercial Development Zone, covering all areas from 46th Street to 6 1 Street. This commercial development zone (B.I.D for short) has played a supplementary role in government services, including safety and sanitation, which has provided a guarantee for the development of high-quality street environment and provided conditions for greater commercial development.

With the joint efforts of the Fifth Avenue Association and the Fifth Avenue Commercial Development Zone, this street has realized the revival of the primary business district. At the core of these efforts are two themes: supporting the needs of business districts and providing services without government services.

Support: In a complex big city like new york, there are thousands of voices asking city and state leaders to emphasize their urgent needs every year. In order to reply, these leaders must treat everyone fairly. In order to be fair, they must balance the replies to all voices. In supporting this role, we must make it clear repeatedly that the demand of Fifth Avenue is not only worthy of attention, but also that meeting these needs will bring greater benefits. We did this by pointing out our contribution to new york's economy. For example, the private investment of retailers alone exceeded $5 million last year. These investments have created thousands of jobs, and at the same time, private and corporate income has also created high taxes for the government. In addition, employees return funds to neighboring business departments, thus helping the local economy to prosper.

Supplementary services: Because there are many pedestrian streets on Fifth Avenue, ordinary urban services can no longer meet our needs. As far as safety and hygiene are concerned, other auxiliary channels are needed. Since the government can't provide these channels, we decided to build these auxiliary facilities on our own. This is also the core role of the business development zone. Nine years ago, owners, economic lessees and retailers raised about 6,543,800,000 yuan in one year to provide these supplementary services.

In the field of security, we employ five times more community security officials than city police to ensure public order. They patrol more in this city than anywhere else. As a result, the crime rate in this street has dropped by 85% since the establishment of the commercial development zone. At the same time, health workers clean garbage bins and streets seven days a week, and remove more than 50 thousand garbage bags every year.

Qi Xin made concerted efforts to create the Fifth Avenue today. Anyone who comes to new york for sightseeing will visit or visit Fifth Avenue, and their tour will probably start from a hotel in our northern business development area. Whether they start their trip from Pierre Hotel near 6 1 Street or Plaza Hotel on 59th Street, they are all located around the beautiful Central Park. Facing south, you will see tall and sturdy famous shops on Fifth Street, such as BERGDORFGOODMAN, TIFFANY, HARRY WINSTON, CARTIER, FORTUNOFF, GUCCI, SAKS and so on. In recent years, these stores have joined Gianni Versace, Brooks Brothers, louis vuitton, FACONNABLE, A.TESTONI, Sephora and LIZ CLAIBORNE. There are many landscapes in these classic shops, such as Pulitzer Fountain, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Central Park mentioned above.

On Fifth Avenue, we can also see the cooperation between the government and the private sector. It is this long-term close combination that makes Fifth Avenue stand at the peak of success for more than 65,438+000 years. If we continue to play the role of various departments, we have no reason to doubt that Fifth Avenue can no longer maintain the success of 100.

Introduction to Fifth Avenue

8 1 years ago, in a guidebook called Valentine's Day in new york, Fifth Avenue was described as:

Few streets have so many shops.

As we all know, quite a few people.

Foreign branches enable them to enjoy

International reputation.

There seem to be all kinds of imaginable shops.

Along the avenue, deal with every imaginable

Old silver that humans want, for example, is rare.

Collector's items, oriental carpets, diamonds,

Jewelry, pearls, knickknacks and other suppliers

To the super rich.

It is said that you can buy more expensive items.

More than any other city in the world.

The center of this phenomenon is the Fifth Avenue Association, which was founded in 1907. At that time, no matter in law or in public opinion, the destructive power was not contained.

In 1924, a leader of the association described the mission of the group:

The Fifth Avenue Association starts from the premise

This is the only effective way to protect the heritage.

The quality of Fifth Avenue is achieved by giving Los Angeles a government-

MENT and a policy based on

Its needs and potential. Convinced of business

Progress and the increase of land value are direct.

The result of organized collective efforts, our association.

A clear civic program has been formulated and adhered to.

Since its establishment.

This project has only one purpose, that is to defend.

The highest standard of the avenue. The prominent sign is

Tacken down; Obstacles on the sidewalk have been cleared;

Providing more police protection; Vendors and

Idlers are forbidden to enter.

At the beginning of 2 1 century, these descriptions echoed the armistice.

Over the past few decades, although the exact location of these stores has changed a little.

That is to say, the Fifth Avenue WB presented to you today is the product of years of vigilance. Throughout its historical development

Avenue needs different things. Eight years ago, the association discovered that

Need a new focus. It sponsored and founded a new company.

Known as the Fifth Avenue Business Improvement Zone, it covers the area from 46th Street to 6 1 Street. This business improvement zone, or B.I.D., recognizes the need to supplement municipal government services, including security.

And sanitary facilities to provide the highest quality street conditions, so that our enterprises can flourish.

The Fifth Avenue Association and the Fifth Avenue Business Improvement Zone have made joint efforts to lead Fifth Avenue to become our premier shopping area.

.

At the core of these efforts are two themes: publicizing regional needs.

And provide additional services to make up for the lack of government services.

Publicity:

In a complex and diverse city like new york, there are a thousand kinds of voices.

Call on our city and state leaders to respond, and these leaders must be fair.

To be fair, they tend to respond to all our voices in the same way.

In our advocacy role, we must repeatedly show that the needs of Fifth Avenue are not only worthy of attention, but also can be better met. We do this by pointing out our economic contribution to new york. final

For example, last year, we found that only one retailer had been privatized.

Investment of more than 500 million dollars. These investments have created thousands of employment opportunities, and personal and corporate income has contributed considerable tax revenue.

To our government. Employees bring their funds back to their

Help the local economy.

Supplementary services:

Because there is so much pedestrian traffic on our streets, the normal level of urban services is not enough to meet our needs. In terms of safety and health, we decided that we needed additional resources. As the government can't provide these extra services, we decided to pay for them ourselves. This is the core role of the business improvement zone. About nine years ago, owners, commercial tenants and retailers agreed that we would raise about $654.38+800,000 annually to provide these supplementary services.

In the field of security, we employ about five times as many people as the city police in the form of community security officers. This depth of patrol coverage is denser than anywhere else in the city. As a result,

Since the establishment of our B.I.D, the crime rate on our streets has dropped by 85%.

Our sanitation workers are cleaning our trash cans seven days a week, cleaning the edge of the street, and removing more than 50,000 garbage bags every year.

The result of these joint efforts is today's Fifth Avenue. anyone/anybody

WHO may take a walk on Fifth Avenue in New York. Maybe this walk will start from a hotel in the north of our district.

Whether starting from Pierre Hotel near 6 1ST Street or Plaza Hotel on 59th Street, the stroller is on the edge of our beautiful central park. Going south, you will meet long-term loyal customers like BERGDORF GOODMAN, TIFFANY, HARRY WINSTON, CARTIER, FORTUNOFF, GUCCL and SAKS Fifth Avenue. In recent years, GIANNI VERSACE, BROOKS BROTHERS, LOUIS VUITTON, FACONNABLE, A. TESTONI, SEPHORA and LIZ CLAIBORNE have also joined their ranks.

These classic shops are intertwined with many landmarks, such as

Pulitzer Fountain, Rockefeller Center, St Patrick's Cathedral and the aforementioned Central Park.

On Fifth Avenue, we see the necessity of partnership between the public and private sectors. It is this continuous joint effort that has kept our road at the peak of success for one hundred years. If we keep playing,

Looking ahead, we see no reason why this method can't last another hundred years.
