Integrated Community

2023-06-01

The concept of integrated community was firstly proposed by Wu Liangyong, a professor of Tsinghua University and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering, who took it as the basic living place with complete equipment of both hardware and software. According to the Guidelines for the Development of Integrated Residential Communities issued by China’s Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in 2021, it refers to a residential community of appropriate scale that is equipped with a complete set of basic public service facilities, commercial service facilities, civil infrastructure, and public space within a walkable distance, as well as a full coverage of efficient property and community management, all of which help provide local residents with a strong sense of belonging and identity.
