概要:

This paper conducts a systematic comparison on the development of social housing in Britain and China. It firstly reviews the origin and the following changes of social housing policy and practice in both countries, and then the physical features and social profiles of them will be compared. It concludes that although the social housing development in China has much shorter history than that in Britain, its historical development trajectory and some physical and social features are with similarities. By learning from British experiences and lessons, several valuable suggestions to Chinese social housing development in future are obtained, which include: not to develop large-scale low-quality social housing estates in a careless way; to develop a multi-level social housing system, to enhance tenant participation and to invest more in housing studies.
