In order to address the strong housing demand of urban residents in China, a comprehensive reform of the housing supply system was carried out in 1998. The supply of urban housing, which had been under the control of the state until then, subsequently led to an explosive expansion of the real estate industry, resulting in the provision of commercially-oriented housing. However, this also gave rise to numerous problems. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the issues that arise between the types of housing being supplied and the demand predicted based on the actual urban population dynamics.
