An Assessment into the Development of Housing Provision Systems in China (2013)

Housing Provision Systems in China Dissertation – Housing in China has been long considered as a pillar industry that can boost the national economy since the beginning of full housing commercialisation. The aim of this paper is to find out how the Chinese government has adjusted housing polices in order to establish a multi-layer housing provision system since 1998 when direct housing distribution was phased out by the State of Council.

Through reviewing the policies issued by central government after 1998 and analysing the data from the National Bureau of Statistics, this paper discovers that there were dramatic changes in policy with regards to commercial and social housing, two forms of housing provision. Since 1998, commercial housing has undergone tremendous growth whereas social housing has been in decline.

Various policies have been issued by central government to regulate China’s overheated commercial housing and to require that local government provide low income groups with social housing. Although the Chinese government has devoted itself to establishing a market-orientated housing provision system, it relies heavily on administrative measures to regulate the housing market. These administrative measures were not very successful in bringing China’s housing market to a level of sustainable development as expected by central government because there is a conflict of interests between central and local government.

Housing systems in Qingdao are focused upon in this paper to investigate how the two types of housing provision have evolved at city level and how municipal government implements policies from central government to regulate their housing market. Dissertation objectives;
