Per capita urban living space has quadrupled since 1978,
according to new government statistics, rising from just 6.5 square metres when
China started its reform and opening up drive, to 26 square metres in
2005.
The Ministry of Construction figures, which were released last

capita urban living space stood at 28 square metres last year, but only 23.9 and
25.2 square metres in the central and western parts of the country,
respectively.
