After Xinyang Municipal Government officially hired SUC Institute as the whole-process consulting organization for the construction of Future Human Settlement Science City and urban and rural future communities in Xinyang City in 2021, it has put forward the new path of urban transformation and development of "vigorously developing the human settlement science and technology industry, accelerating the promotion of urban and rural future community pilots, and jointly building the Future Human Settlement Science City", and then solidly promoted this throughout the City.
In the second half of 2022, MOHURD put forward the new concept of urban construction of "firmly grasping the base point of ‘comfortable housing’ for people, with the fundamental goal of enabling people to live in better houses, from good houses to good residential communities, from good residential communities to good communities, from good communities to good urban areas, so as to plan, build and manage the city well". Xinyang's urban transformation and development path coincides with MOHURD's "four goods" construction concept.
Over the past two years, in the absence of any national policy and financial support, a number of famous enterprises and scientific research institutions in the field of human settlement science and technology have settled in Xinyang; a number of urban and rural "good house" models and whole-scene display platforms have been built, and a complete industry chain system for the construction of "good house" has been successfully established; a number of "good residential community and community" models have been built; a number of innovative examples of "good urban area" construction have been planned and built. Xinyang has become a typical city that takes the lead in planning and firmly promotes the construction of "four goods" in the old revolutionary areas and central region of the country.
