At the press conference on people's livelihood held at this year's National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Ni Hong, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, introduced that the construction of "good houses" will be accelerated and the high standards for residential floors will be raised to no less than 3 meters. In addition to "growing" the floor height, what's the good house? You might as well observe by addition and subtraction.

Do a good job of subtraction and reduce pain points and hard flaws. Inadequate floor height, poor lighting, poor sound insulation, insufficient public space... The problems that the people care about and the problems they hope to solve are the direction of the construction of "good houses". At present, the "Technical Guidelines for Good Housing" has been issued and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is organizing the preparation of construction guidelines and revising residential project standards to provide guarantees for housing quality.

Do a good job of adding, adding technology and services. In terms of construction technology, people look forward to the use of new technologies, new materials and new products to make the house more green, environmentally friendly, safe and durable. In terms of whole-house intelligence, from door locks that open the door through the face, to automatic sensing lamps, to smart devices to deal with emergencies in elderly people living alone, the new technology has given home and life a lot of helpers.

Promote the construction of a safe, comfortable, green and smart "good house", reflecting the innovation of architectural concepts that fit the level of economic and social development, and allowing the masses to share the fruits of development.

Focus on new residential buildings, based on reality, and meet the needs of different groups. The government should take the lead in building affordable housing into "good houses", work hard to optimize apartment design and improve supporting facilities, and effectively improve people's living experience. At the same time, we will accelerate the construction of a new model of real estate development and guide enterprises to do a good job in market segmentation and reasonable pricing, such as single-person apartments, improved housing for multiple families, and elderly-friendly housing, etc., to fully meet diversified housing needs on the basis of no discount on the quality of the house.

Combined with urban renewal, many old houses can also be transformed into "good houses". Data shows that since the implementation of urban renewal, nearly 280,000 old urban communities have been started nationwide, benefiting 120 million residents. Focusing on improving the quality of houses, promoting the installation of elevators, updating pipeline networks, and carrying out intelligent transformation, focusing on the construction of pocket parks, adding elderly care and childcare facilities, and adding fitness equipment, etc., we will adapt to local conditions and implement policies on demand, so that more people can achieve the transformation from "housing for a place" to "housing for a livable life".

This year, "good houses" were written into the government work report for the first time, and the people's high-quality living needs to be responded positively. I believe that with the support and participation of all sectors of society, the construction of "good houses" will be accelerated and support more modern and smarter warm homes.
