First, the article highlights the importance of diversifying the housing supply. I think this is the key to solving urban housing problems. By providing different types of housing, the needs of people with different incomes can be met. In the context of rapid urban expansion, rational planning and layout to integrate housing supply with public service facilities can improve residents’ quality of life and enhance the city’s overall functionality and livability. This diversified housing supply strategy reflects fairness and demonstrates the city’s inclusive and harmonious development vision.
In addition, the article mentioned the necessity of guiding the rational development of the real estate market. In the current globalized economic environment, the real estate market is easily affected by various factors and has some adverse effects. Land policy and tax policy can effectively play a guiding role.
Finally, the article emphasizes the government’s leading role in urban renewal. Renovation and renewal of old cities can improve the quality and quantity of housing and protect historical and cultural heritage. I especially agree with this view because the Old Town is a witness to the city’s history and an essential part of residents’ lives. During the renewal process, the government should focus on the balance between protection and development and promote the organic renewal of the old city through policy guidance and financial support to revitalize it.
In addition to Singapore, I once read in an article that Copenhagen is famous for sustainable urban housing (Newman, 2008). For the houses there, designers used high-energy systems such as green roofs. At the same time, Copenhagen cleverly combines residential buildings with other public service facilities. This layout reduces traffic pressure and promotes interaction between people (Gehl, 2010). Finally, the government provides housing and rental subsidies to ensure every resident has a safe and comfortable living environment (Colantonio, 2011).
