[Adapted from 2008 Comparative Political Studies article]Exploring the civic properties of China’s homeowner groups requires a grasp of the process through which they are coming into being[awkward?]. In the decades following the 1949 revolution, new urban housing was built and owned by branches of the state, including city governments and factories and other workplaces. A sea-change began in the [find more precise date]1980s. Recognizing that massive new investment was needed, the state began to encourage the building and selling of homes on a commercial basis, even as governments remained heavily involved in these processes. With Hong Kong[Singapore too?] and its densely concentrated “estates” as the model, new homes were clustered in large condominium developments, whether in high-rise, townhouse or other forms, some in the suburbs and others in redeveloped older neighborhoods. At the same time, the Ministry of Construction began articulating a market-based approach to the management of these newly built neighborhoods[in later version, could find name of Minister responsible]. They would be run by professional management companies, selected and hired by the owners themselves. Homeowners would form committees to choose and monitor these service providers (Zhou & Logan[cq], 1996; Wang & Murie[cq], 1999; Davis, 2003).
