High-rise buildings used to be the pride of the city, and now it seems that feng shui takes turns. The latest weather vane suggests that there are two types of future homes that are most popular. Don't be in a hurry to guess, this is not a rumor, but a real "new rule" that has been finalized. Don't underestimate this trend, it is backed by national policies. Next, let's talk about the story behind this.
I remember that at that time, when it came to buying a house, my eyes were full of skyscrapers. Everyone has a dream that soars into the sky, and it seems that the higher the floor, the more they can prove their success and status. But this "high heat" has recently dropped noticeably in temperature, replaced by a desire for homes that fly close to the ground.
This change didn't happen overnight, as tall buildings have taken root in our lives since the last two decades. The skyline of the city is gradually being taken over by these towering steel forests. At that time, who didn't want to live in a 30- or 40-story high-rise building and feel the thrill of seeing the mountains at a glance?
A series of national policies have been introduced to limit the height of high-rise buildings. There are several key policies involved, in particular the questioning of the suitability of high-rise buildings that have long been used for residential purposes.
On the one hand, the aging of these old high-rise buildings is becoming more and more prominent, the maintenance cost is high, and the safety is also attracting attention; on the other hand, with the new requirements of the state for urban planning, such as "housing for living, not speculation" and "moderate density", the construction of these high-rise residential buildings is no longer in line with the policy guidance.
At this time, the government's strategy of catching turtles in the urn was released: the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, in conjunction with the National Development and Reform Commission, issued a series of documents that strictly regulated the height of buildings in cities of different sizes. At this time, the golden age of high-rise residential buildings seems to have come to an end.
So, what kind of houses are popular under the new policy? First of all, low-rise mansions with light luxury have emerged. Think about it, such mansions are generally six or seven storeys high, designed with two households on one ladder, or one ladder and one household, with strong privacy and a quieter community environment, giving people a low-key and luxurious living experience.
This kind of housing not only satisfies people's pursuit of high quality of life, but also avoids the inconveniences that can be caused by high-rise housing, such as elevator waiting time, high-altitude noise interference, and daily maintenance troubles.
The other type is to renovate old apartments. Located in an old area in the heart of the city, these apartments have been renovated and upgraded to not only inherit the unique charm of the old building, but also incorporate modern living functions and design concepts. They tend to be attractively located in excellent locations, with convenient transportation and mature supporting facilities.
Next, we have to talk about one of the megatrends behind this: the transformation of urbanization. In the past, the blind construction of high-rise residential buildings was once synonymous with urban sprawl. The new stage of urbanization and rural revitalization requires more reasonable planning and construction, and pays more attention to the improvement of quality of life.
Against this backdrop, the suspension of high-rise construction did not appear out of thin air, but was a deliberate decision. It's not just about the height of the building, it's about the change in the way society lives as a whole. People have begun to re-examine the true meaning of housing, no longer simply pursuing the high, but seeking a harmonious, comfortable and close to natural state of life.
The reduction of high-rise residences is undoubtedly a challenge for those who are used to high-rise living. They need to readjust to the rhythm and lifestyle of low-rise living. At the same time, it is also a major readjustment of business structure for real estate developers. They need to shift their mindset from the "high-end" of the past to more sophisticated, humane residential developments.
In addition, the concept of environmental protection and sustainable development also plays an important role in this process. Low-rise homes generally mean less energy consumption and lower carbon emissions. This is not only in line with the country's green development strategy, but also caters to modern people's pursuit of a healthy life.
