Abstract
Analysis of initial housing reform in China prior to 1993 pointing out reasons for lack of success and lessons to be learnt. The establishment of a market-based housing system to privatize housing is the ultimate objective of China's housing reforms. Increasing rents has been the major step adopted so far since the housing reforms started in 1984. The authors discuss the phase 2 reforms and give an authoritative insight into China's housing difficulties and highlight those areas which need more careful consideration, especially on the legal side.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
