Through questionnaires and online-opinion survey, this paper fi nds that the public generally has a misunderstanding on China's new "community opening up policy." In detail, there is a remarkable group difference in the public's evaluation on this policy transformation. Those who have already bought houses mostly disapprove of the policy, while other groups have various considerations based on their own interest. The public's attitudes always have been infl uenced by different policy options and the ambiguity in policy implementation. Since the adjustment of urban space involves a wide range of interests, the relationship between individual interest and public interest and that between the government and civilians have become complicated when some property owners use the immature "common interest" as an excuse to protect their interests. The situation becomes even more complex when the power and voice is unbalanced. Thus, rational communication should be promoted to guarantee the procedural justice of policies, and systematic reform should also be promoted to guarantee the substantive fairness of policies.展开更多

In view of the diversification of values and investments, people are eager for a harmonious relationship between the community and the city. As a kind of compact and efficient housing mode, the housing block highlights the organic link of the community within the city in an open and shared living environment. This paper reviews the development of housing blocks in various countries and summarizes the characteristics of housing blocks through a comparison with traditional gated residential quarters and urban blocks. It then analyzes the current diffi culties of housing block development in China from aspects such as the planning concept, planning system, management mode, and development mode and accordingly proposes planning principles and strategies in hope of providing theoretical supports for the development and construction of housing blocks in China.展开更多
