Abstract
China has developed several housing policy reforms and has, in recent years, progressed further on developing policies to promote green strategies and energy-saving plans. The urban housing has much benefited from such reforms and plans, while rural housing has experienced minimal change in the past few decades. As a result, this study aims to identify and explore these differences, challenges, and implications that exist between three areas of urban, peri-urban, and rural in a particular case study in China. For this study, selected residential areas in the City of Zhuhai and its peri-urban and rural areas are selected as case studies. A questionnaire survey is conducted to analyze energy and housing conditions across the more prosperous urban, the dynamic and transitory peri-urban, and the less prosperous rural areas. The case studies are analyzed as comparative examples in a hot and humid sub-tropical area of Southern China. The study compares energy and housing conditions and argues potential possibilities and challenges for the future development of housing policy reforms that are the result of current housing development patterns and green strategy situation in China.

Summary
Introduction to Housing Sector in ChinaHousing is a significant part of the built environment. Cheshmehzangi type of public housing to private house ownership [1] This includes new development of mid-rise housing, high rise apartments, gated residential communities, and a cluster of low-rise luxury housing (locally known as villa housing) [2]. In regard to this process, Logan et al [3] argue two new ways of housing reform; 1) “privatization of public housing”; and 2) “development of new private housing sector”. The impact on the geography of space determines the way residents’ living and consumption patterns are shaping This is, in particular, important to China due to its pace and scale of development and growth. We could refer to these as possible challenges on urbanization and urban development that require careful planning in the reforms, urbanization plans, and development modes [8]
