From the Paper:

"In rural areas most of the housing is organized into villages, with houses built close together and usually made from sun-dried brick (Encyclopedia Britannica 49). In the urban areas of China houses are made up of more traditional materials. However, many of the houses date back to the 30's and 40's. In urban areas, there is generally a major housing shortage. This has resulted in the building of apartment-style buildings, but where living spaces are extremely small. In other cases, many families live in a house that would generally be considered as big enough for only one family (Encyclopedia Britannica 49)."
