This book specifically addresses five related aspects: the livability issues of high-rise residential buildings in Shanghai, the sustainable design of three-bedroom, two-bathroom residential layouts in Shanghai, the transformation of vacant buildings into small-space living spaces, the housing needs of DINK (double income, no kids) families, and the integrated design of solar water heaters with residential buildings. From the perspective of sustainable development, the book offers professional insights into unresolved or emerging issues concerning urban residential construction in China.
