This paper attempted to present a method to solve site-planning problems of the Multistory Row House Cluster (MRHC) with parallel layout by the Multi-Agent System (MAS). The solutions were generated entirely by the interactions of the agents, who represented the users in pursuit of better living conditions for their dwelling units. Thus, they are analogous to the ″user-oriented″ layout. The standard solution differed from the popular layout in Beijing in that the public Green Land (GL) was separated and located on the southeast and southwest corners of MRHC. Comparing a diversity of layouts, the solution showed the following characteristics: 1) the highest average level of living conditions of dwelling units; 2) the comparatively homogeneous living conditions in dwelling units; and 3) the fewest dwelling units with poorly evaluated living conditions. In addition, this study also examined the relationships between the average living conditions in the solutions and the attributes of the plot, including the plot ratio and aspect ratio.
