Socio-historical analysis includes a qualitative interpretation of changes in political ideology, priorities in economic planning, and urbanization level, and of their impact on Chinese housing policy. The socio-historical analysis and a social welfare maximization framework lead to a theoretical model of resource allocation for the housing sector.

In particular, housing policy during the Cultural Revolution was characterized by an \"\"anti-housing policy\"\" that was greatly affected by radical ideology, sluggish economic growth, and a low level of urbanization. In contrast, influenced by the reform ideology as well as by rapid economic growth and urbanization, housing policy during the open door period has been predominantly \"\"explicit.\"\" An application of the empirical results demonstrates that the housing construction plan of the Seventh-Five Year Plan to build 3,650 million square meters of housing is by no means feasible, even with the most optimistic assumptions about Chinese economic growth.
