Abstract: The steel structural residence has significant cyclic economic characteristics in the whole life cycle of the raw material production stage, construction stage, use stage, dismantling and recycling stage, which meets the requirements of energy saving, land saving, water saving, material saving and environmental protection., so it is one of the most ideal residential system for residence industrialization in China. In this paper, based on the background and development status of steel structural residential industrialization and development in China, the gap of the steel structural residential industrialization between China and foreign countries was comprehensively summarized, and then the key problems of the steel structural residential industrialization in China was systemically induced. Finally, the main countermeasures were proposed for the development of the steel structural residential industrialization in China, which were useful for the development of steel structural residential industrialization in China.
