Such lotteries have become commonplace in many urban villages in Shanghai, as the city seeks to regenerate its older urban areas and place residents in housing that is up to modern standards. Bao's household was among 100 others that would be moving from old and dilapidated buildings, often with shared kitchens and bathrooms, into a shiny new apartment building fitted with the latest mod cons.
