MING GUO, most citizens still lived in the old residence from MING & QING. However, along with the migration and natural grow of population in 1930s, the government created public housing in 6 areas of the city. In 1935, a few nice-looking western-eastern residentiials areas were developed around Taiping Road,Sanshan Street,Huapai Lou. Shanxi Road and Yihe Road were home to richer people, thus looked more luxurious today.
After the War against Japanese,many locals migrate back to the city but found nowehere to stay. The easy shelf structure became their houses. Later one, the government planned for houses particularly for the government staffs and teachers.
Today, most of the MING GUO houses could be found near Shanxi Road, Yihe Road, Huiyuan L, etc. It's not a bad idea to take a walk around those areas. They are not necessary all residential areas, but all were built around MING GUO.
民国初期大部分市民仍然住在明清旧居，集中在门东、门西、白下、洪武、建业、北门桥一带。1933年政府修建了平民住宅，可容纳六千户，分布在南京六处。风格简易，多为长条式连栋建筑。1935年的坊里有所改变，不再是前街后坊，而是西式外观的二三层小楼，有西洋式门脸和窗栏，但纹饰却是福禄寿三星。这些二三层小楼集中在太平路、三山街、花牌楼一带。根据《首都计划》作出的新住宅区在山西路颐和路一带，风格质朴具有江南院落气质，且有当时较为先进的雨污分流系统。
1937-1945八年抗战胜利之后，随着国民政府还都南京，人口又增加到131万人。大多数人依然住在明清旧居，但是新涌入的人，尤其是贫民二十多万，住在简易棚户里，集中在上海路，牌楼巷、驴子巷、演武厅、晒布厂、沙塘园、汉府新村、五老村、广艺街、龙王庙、宫后山、冶山道院、双乐园、小桃园。政府还建立了5个公教新村，安置机关人员和从事文教的人。如今，只有公教一村还是留有原来的结构，其他的公教新村多多少少都被改建成新住宅区。
