This paper presents the results of an attitudinal survey of residential and commercial building users from three Chinese cities Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipei. The results have been obtained from a much larger survey, primarily involving the living and working standards in the three cities. Apart from the descriptive statistics showing the preferences of the user, inferential statistics also showed significant differences among the attitudes of citizens living in the three cities. The results could give insights to designers and developers on the improvement of building standards.
