Looking at China’s housing history in the 70 years since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, we have seen four magnificent chapters. With a population of 9.6 million square kilometers and a population of 1.4 billion, it solves the housing problem perfectly without the systemic risk under the extremely fast urban tide.
As a domestic industry, the industry with the deepest development, the most complete industrial chain and the largest volume, China’s real estate market is a miracle, a myth.

A brief history of 70 years of housing
The 70-year history of housing in New China can be roughly divided into several stages:

At the same time, almost all incremental housing investment is led by the state and the unit.

At that time, the serious “house shortage” invaded almost all cities. In a basic situation, the bigger the city, the more serious the housing problem.
In Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and other cities, housings with a per capita living area of less than 2 square meters are “extraordinary households”. The phenomenon of three generations and four generations of the same family and parents and children living in bed are commonplace.
Severe shortages will inevitably lead to more serious problems of unfair distribution. In the case of complete failure of the price standard, the standard of distribution will eventually become the administrative reference, the length of service, and the number of family members as the main reference.
