ENLIGHTENMENT ON CHINA'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING POLICY:EXPERIENCES FROM AMERICA'S INCLUSIONARY ZONING POLICY

This paper argues that the traditional supply mode of affordable housing should be changed in view of the main characteristics and problems of China's current affordable housing policy.A suggestion is that a certain percentage of affordable housing be provided in most residential development in central city,based on the experiences of the inclusionary zoning policy in the US.By learning the implementation of inclusionary zoning in the US and comparing the housingrelevant backgrounds in the US and in China,it concludes that this experimental policy is not only of practical significance,but also has the advantage of implementation compared with the similar policies in the US.In the end,it points out the main problems which should be solved and gives some suggestions to solve those problems.
