2021 Shanghai Prefabricated Housing

Admin September 18, 2026

In 2021, Shanghai hosted exhibitions, implemented policies, and launched representative projects in the field of prefabricated housing.

Exhibition Aspect: From July 14 to 16, 2021, the 2021 China Shanghai Prefabricated Housing Exhibition was held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center in Pudong. The exhibition focused on the prefabricated building sector, showcasing cutting-edge products and advanced technologies related to prefabricated housing. With an exhibition area of 150,000 square meters, it provided a platform for enterprises, research institutions, and practitioners in the prefabricated housing industry to exchange ideas and cooperate. This facilitated technological progress and product innovation in the industry, promoting the widespread adoption of prefabricated housing in Shanghai and across the country.

Policy Promotion Aspect: Since 2021, China has vigorously promoted prefabricated buildings to drive industrial restructuring and upgrading. Shanghai has actively responded to national policies by introducing relevant regulations. Except for specific areas, for newly constructed individual buildings within the scope of prefabricated building implementation, the prefabrication rate of individual buildings should be no less than 40% or the assembly rate of individual buildings should be no less than 60%. For residential buildings with a height of over 100 meters (excluding 100 meters), the prefabrication rate of individual buildings should be no less than 15%. These policies clarify the proportion requirements for prefabricated housing (prefabricated buildings) in Shanghai's construction, providing policy support and direction for the development of prefabricated housing. They help improve the industrialization level of Shanghai's construction industry and drive the construction industry towards a green, efficient, and sustainable direction.

Project Implementation Aspect: The Shanggang Community Rental Housing Project is one of the first 100-meter ultra-high PC (prefabricated assembly) residential projects in Shanghai. Located in the southern part of the Houtan headquarters office cluster, the project has a total construction area of 162,500 square meters, with one underground floor and eight 25-32-story high-rise prefabricated residential buildings on the ground, along with three annexes. PC components account for 40% of the total number of components in the project, demonstrating the application of prefabricated housing in actual construction. The implementation of this project not only provides rental housing resources for Shanghai but also accumulates experience for the construction of ultra-high prefabricated assembly residential buildings, showcasing the feasibility and advantages of prefabricated housing in high-rise building construction.
