Nobody is not impressed by the buildings and infrastructures in many Chinese cities.However, everyone is very disappointed by seeing horribly looking houses and buildings in country side in China, even though most buildings were built in bricks and cements, energy and cost non-efffective materials.
Not sure if the Chinese governments, espectially local governments, have a construction guide and plan for those farmers who build their houses.I think that the people living in rural areas would much appreciate the things like house designs, materials used, and styles, etc. that the goverment can help when any new houses are going to be constructed.
Chinese tourists to Europe,North America, and Japan are envying the houses and settings these local people live. In fact, house construction and associated environment could be much improved in China country side if the governmnet helped doing so, including design, using energy-cost effective building materials. I can predict that the face of rural areas would be greatly changed in a decade if the government sincerely help the well beings of people living in country side in China.
Housing is the most important sign of wealthy and well being of people! Living quality of these will move up if they can live in well desined and houses. The slogan "Serving the people" of Chinese Cmmunist Party could start with helping people in rural areas build beautiful houses! Start now.
