Achievements and Challenges: 30 Years of Housing Reforms in the People’s Republic of China
Gao, Lu | April 2010
Abstract
Lu Gao reviews the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) housing reform measures and their impacts since 1978. While the housing reforms dramatically alleviated the housing shortage in the PRC, there are many problems that have led to concerns about housing affordability and sustainability of economic growth in the country, especially within the context of the current global financial crisis. Based on the analysis of the major causes of these problems in the PRC’s housing reforms, this paper presents housing policy recommendations to support long-term economic growth sustainability and political stability.
