On September 18, Chen Shaowang, press spokesman and vice-minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said at the press conference of the State Information Office that the key to improving people's living standards during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period was to build good houses. Move forward with good standards, good design, good materials, good construction, good luck in maintaining the whole chain, and the whole life cycle. In response to the problem of low floors reported by the public, we raised the floor height standard from 2.8 meters to 3 meters; in order to solve the problem of elderly people going up and down the stairs, the new standard suggests that elevators must be installed in homes on the 4th floor and above; in response to child safety protection issues, the height of all empty areas such as balconies and verandas will be uniformly raised to no less than 1.2 meters.
