To all central bureaus, and forward to sub-bureaus, all major municipal committees, provincial committees, and district party committees: The plan proposed by the Beijing Municipal Committee to organize public-private joint venture real estate companies and construct housing to solve the housing shortage may be emulated by all major cities where there is a severe lack of housing.

At present, the housing shortage in large cities has aroused great dissatisfaction among the people. It is imperative to build new housing and repair old housing in a planned manner to meet the needs of the people.

Printed by the Central Committee on February 18, based on Comrade Mao Zedong’s manuscript.
