During 1986-1997, Zhongshan had invested 900 million yuan to build 7,831 sets of housing, which satisfied the dwelling needs of people with a per capita living space of 8 square meters and less.

In the absence of experience to follow, Zhongshan had to "cross the river by feeling for stones" and finally figured out a mature, operable solution for neighbouring cities and even the whole country to resolve housing problems.
