Abstract: Abstract It is urgent to disseminate the concept of sustainability development and put it into practice in housing development. However, because Mainland China has a larger population, building density, and less availability of reusable energy, it is critical to consider the status quo of the housing development and the existing sustainability development levels when we establish evaluation indicators for sustainable housing development. This paper analyzed the requirements, characteristics, standards for sustainable housing development and established the evaluation indicators of sustainable housing development pertaining to economic, environmental, social and project facets. In the case study, we examined the feasibility and practicability of the established indicators by applying Multi-level Grey evaluation method. It is found that the indicators were applicable as evaluation foundations of the housing development. The significance of this research lies in its direction to extend the established indicator system of sustainable housing development to a nation-wide standard.
