Abstract

China has been building a massive number of affordable and social housing units in the last several years to compensate for an earlier lack of attention on housing affordability and housing needs. However, there are many forms of inefficiency in planning, building and using affordable and social housing. This paper attempts to analyze the causes to those inefficiencies from analysis of institutional arrangements inside and outside the affordable and social housing sector by using evidence from fieldwork conducted in August 2013 in Guangzhou. It argues that the solution to these inefficiencies lies on tackling the inadequacies in institutional arrangements in affordable and social housing.
