2026-02-04   

Housing is essential for people's livelihoods, embodying the fervent expectations of billions of people for a better life. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "urban construction must prioritize providing people with livable and secure homes. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed the construction of safe, comfortable, green, and intelligent 'good houses'. We need to deeply study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, focus on key issues such as building structural safety, waterproofing, mold prevention, disaster prevention, and risk prevention, and implement key tasks such as optimizing spatial layout, improving supporting facilities, improving the comfort of sound, light, electric, and heating environments, and applying environmentally friendly building materials. We will increase the supply of safe, comfortable, green, and intelligent "good houses" to meet the people's demand for improving housing quality. Building safe, comfortable, green, and intelligent "good houses" is related to people's well-being, the future of the industry, and high-quality development. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "the people's aspiration for a better life is our goal of struggle." Building "good houses" is an important measure to meet the people's aspiration for a better life and improve their quality of life. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has basically solved the problem of housing shortage by vigorously developing the commodity housing market and continuously improving the housing security system. The housing supply has shifted from a total shortage to a basic balance of total supply and insufficient structural supply. The housing demand of residents has shifted from "having a place to live" to "having a livable place to live", and upgrading the supply of safe, comfortable, green and intelligent "good houses" to meet the demand is an important way to enhance people's well-being. The construction of "good houses" is guided by the new development concept, anchoring the residential attributes of housing, optimizing element allocation, promoting the upgrading of the entire chain of standards, design, construction, materials, operation and maintenance, comprehensively improving the quality of housing supply, and promoting the transformation of real estate from extensive development to connotative development. Vigorously promoting the construction of "good houses" is conducive to unleashing the potential of housing consumption, enhancing the endogenous driving force for the long-term development of the housing market, driving the coordinated upgrading of upstream and downstream industries, and promoting the effective improvement of the quality and reasonable growth of the economy. The construction of "good houses" requires coordinated promotion and long-term efforts, focusing on institutional norms, technological empowerment, demonstration and guidance, and multi-party collaboration to transform the beautiful scenery into reality. Strengthen the foundation of building a "good house" by improving the system. Promoting the upgrading of institutional construction can provide stronger guarantees for the construction of "good houses" and enhance the long-term safety and reliability of housing. We need to accelerate the establishment of basic systems that are compatible with the new model of real estate development, and systematically improve the institutional norms for the construction of "good houses". Improve the supporting system for the sale of existing houses, and promote real estate enterprises to shift from simply pursuing scale expansion to focusing on product quality and service improvement. Accelerate the establishment of housing safety examinations, housing safety management funds, and housing quality and safety insurance systems, and improve the safety management system for the entire life cycle of housing. Strengthen the construction of "good houses" guided by national standards, strictly implement mandatory construction standards such as the "Residential Project Specification", reasonably arrange the scale, structure, and layout of residential land supply, improve local standards or technical guidelines that meet regional characteristics and public needs, guide enterprises to transform from passive compliance to active quality improvement, upgrade housing quality from "qualified" to "high-quality", and accurately develop "good houses" of different sizes and prices that are suitable for rigid and improved needs. For example, the "Qingdao 'Good House' Construction Standard System" released by Qingdao City in Shandong Province combines the requirements of "good house" construction, adheres to the concept of the whole life cycle, focuses on public concerns, covers the entire process from design to operation and maintenance, and provides useful reference for local practice. Empowering the quality of "good houses" with technological innovation. The construction of "good houses" cannot be separated from technological support. Strengthening technological empowerment in areas such as standards, design, construction, materials, and operation and maintenance can help promote the transformation of "good houses" from concept to reality. Strengthen the deep integration of industry, academia, and research led by enterprises, and enhance basic research and key core technology breakthroughs. Accelerate the application of new green building materials such as high-performance concrete, thermal insulation materials, and lightweight sound insulation materials; Promote advanced construction methods such as prefabricated construction, prefabricated decoration, and intelligent construction on a larger scale; Strengthen the application of BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology throughout the entire lifecycle of construction projects, promote the large-scale development of ultra-low energy buildings, advance the integration of building photovoltaics, and actively use new technologies to empower the construction of "good houses". Accelerate the cultivation of a group of specialized and innovative enterprises, improve the standardization and serialization level of construction components, form a modern industrial cluster in the field of "good houses", and continuously enhance the quality competitiveness of China's construction industry. Lead and promote the implementation of "good house" projects with demonstration models. Creating demonstration models is a key focus in bridging the "last mile" between standard implementation and technological transformation. We need to accelerate the summary of experience and practices in the construction of "good houses" in various regions, and focus on creating a batch of "good house" demonstration models that are led by technology, have complete functions, reasonable layout, excellent quality, satisfy the masses, and are suitable for sale. We will also include the renovation of old houses in the scope of "good house" demonstration. Some places actively create "good house" models, forming a demonstration effect. For example, cities such as Fuzhou and Xiamen in Fujian Province are accelerating the improvement of supporting policies and selecting some affordable housing projects as pilot projects for "good houses". For example, in Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, innovative applications such as prefabricated decoration and environmentally friendly building materials have been used for the renovation of old houses, significantly reducing the overall construction period and carbon emissions compared to traditional decoration, turning old houses into "good houses". By conducting experience exchanges, organizing on-site observations, and other methods, summarize the replicable experience of demonstration models in improving structural safety, optimizing living experience, practicing low-carbon energy conservation, and empowering smart services, and promote them to accelerate the improvement and expansion of the construction of "good houses". Through multi-party collaboration, we can unite the efforts to build a "good house". The construction of "good houses" is a systematic project that involves multiple fields such as policy, market, society, and technology, and requires the joint participation of the government, enterprises, and social forces. We need to establish a high-quality and cost-effective market mechanism, innovate the use of policy tools such as plot ratio rewards, strengthen full process supervision, guide enterprises to improve product quality, supervise enterprises to adhere to safety bottom lines and quality baselines, and build all kinds of new houses into "good houses". We should encourage local residents to independently update and renovate old houses through policy guidance and mechanism innovation, and rely on various forces to transform more old houses into "good houses". In addition, it is necessary to tailor and improve the supply of "one elderly, one primary" public services such as community elderly care and childcare, as well as municipal supporting facilities such as parking and charging according to local conditions. Implement the action to improve the quality of property services, promote property service enterprises to provide high-quality services according to contract agreements, explore new models of coordinated operation among neighborhood committees, property owners' committees, and property service enterprises under the leadership of community party organizations, and support the long-term healthy operation of "good houses".
