Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

To explore the research framework and enhancement path of sustainable urban development from the perspective of urban planning and housing management in the context of the stock era is currently one of the most cutting-edge research topics in the discipline of urban planning. It can also be regarded as an attempt to study public policy and spatial resilience in the field of public management.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to scientifically formulate and effectively implement urban planning and housing management policies, and to evaluate and accurately identify the characteristics of urban spatial resilience at multiple scales, based on the concept of sustainable development. This can be achieved by integrating the knowledge and methods of a range of disciplines, such as economics, management, planning, geography, and environmental protection, with a view to building inclusive, safe, disaster-resistant, and sustainable cities. Topics may include but are not limited to:

  • Multi-scale evaluation of sustainable cities;
  • Mechanisms of urban resilience and spatial interaction;
  • Policy governance of urban spatial resilience;
  • Spatial governance and sustainable urban development;
  • Spatial well-being and sustainable urban development;
  • Public policy and resilient cities;
  • Housing, planning, and sustainable development;
  • Urban territorial spatial planning in the age of stock;
  • Housing policy and spatial planning in megacities;
  • Inclusive sustainable development.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

As a pivotal component of rural revitalization, effective management of rural courtyard spaces is crucial for improving environmental quality and economic development. Utilizing the 2023 “Most Beautiful Courtyard” design competition in Guangze County as a backdrop, this study investigates the specific circumstances and practical challenges encountered during the courtyard transformation process. Based on a comprehensive literature review, this research establishes a unified indicator evaluation system; investigates the perspectives of villagers, designers, and managers; and conducts an in-depth analysis of the challenges faced in rural courtyard transformation practice. The goal is to offer substantial reference points for policy formulation and practical implementation, alongside recommendations for effective courtyard transformation. At the construction management level, the government should develop detailed operational guidelines for rural courtyard transformation, closely monitor construction progress, manage funds scientifically, and ensure efficient communication among the three groups. At the localization level, villagers’ daily production and life should be integrated with village cultural symbols, respecting and exploring localization factors. Adequate consideration of the ecological environment and climatic conditions is crucial to promoting the sustainable development of rural courtyards. Full article

Research on Urban Resilience from the Perspective of Land Intensive Use: Indicator Measurement, Impact and Policy Implications

Land intensive use reflects the spatial structure, agglomeration characteristics, and internal mechanisms of urban economic, social, and ecological system development, significantly impacting urban resilience.

Land intensive use reflects the spatial structure, agglomeration characteristics, and internal mechanisms of urban economic, social, and ecological system development, significantly impacting urban resilience. Based on panel data from 287 cities in China from 2010 to 2020, this paper measures the levels of land intensive use and urban resilience, and empirically examines the impact mechanism of land intensive use on urban resilience through baseline regression and panel quantile regression. The results reveal that: (1) During the study period, China’s urban land intensive use level has significantly improved. The land intensive use level shows a trend of “the strong become stronger, and the weak are always weak” and “high in the east and low in the west” spatial differentiation, while the urban resilience level showed a trend of accelerated “catching up” of low-resilience cities towards high-resilience cities and “high in the east and low in the west” spatial differentiation as well. (2) Land intensive use significantly promotes effect on urban resilience, and the effect depends on different conditions. (3) Among all dimensions of land intensive use, both land input intensity and land use benefits significantly promote urban resilience, while land use intensity shows an insignificant effect. (4) The impact of land intensive use on urban resilience demonstrates significant scale heterogeneity and geographic regional heterogeneity. Based on these findings, the paper proposes relevant policy suggestions for land intensive use aimed at improving urban resilience, offering guidance for promoting high-quality land use and sustainable urban resilience development.

A multitude of studies have extensively examined strategies for achieving sustainable development in the real estate market. As the pivotal component of land economy, the real estate market plays a crucial role in ensuring its sound operation. However, it is currently undergoing significant adjustments and grappling with rampant speculative activities, resulting in an alarming bubble. By scrutinizing the speculative motivations of different entities, we present a novel perspective on mitigating speculation. Our analysis reveals that digital inclusive finance effectively curbs residents’ and enterprises’ speculative behavior, as evidenced by diminished prevention motivation and investment substitution motivation. Utilizing data from 280 cities, this study measures real estate market speculation by establishing a model that the volatility of the housing market turnover, as a proportion of GDP, deviates from the actual housing demand transactions based on economic fundamentals. Furthermore, it investigates the relationship between digital inclusive finance and real estate market speculation, along with its spatial effects. The findings indicate that digital inclusive finance significantly curbs real estate market speculation and has a negative spatial spillover effect. This research provides a novel model and perspective for exploring real estate market speculation while positively impacting sustainable development within the real estate market. Full article

In the context of global climate change, the low-carbon city pilot policy has become an important strategy to promote green development. Based on the panel data from 257 prefecture-level and above cities in China, this study utilized the Super-Efficiency SBM (Slacks-Based Measure) to measure the land green use efficiency and analyzes the impact of the policy on adjacent non-pilot cities using a difference-in-differences model. The findings indicate that the implementation of low-carbon pilot policies can significantly improve the land green use efficiency in adjacent non-pilot cities, which can be primarily ascribed to the spillover effect and catfish effect. A heterogeneity analysis further revealed the positive effects of the policies in the eastern region and non-resource-based cities. This study provides valuable references for relevant legal provisions on environmental regulation and for continuously monitoring and evaluating the policy effects to achieve sustainable development goals.
