Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The interactions between urban planning and the housing market play a key role in the context of progressing urbanization, urban population growth and the rising demand for housing. The rational distribution of housing resources in cities (and functional urban areas) is one of the key priorities of urban planning. The relevant measures should be consistent with the principles of sustainable development, and the rational management of space and social justice. The existing problems and social needs should be identified and resolved in order to improve the quality of life.

The identification and evaluation of the processes in the housing market in the economic, social, and spatial dimensions are key elements of urban planning. The development of geographic information systems as well as quantitative and qualitative analytical methods promotes a new approach to evaluations of urban space, where housing resources that meet fundamental human needs play a special role.

This Special Issue will focus on the extent to which urban planning and management systems address complex and dynamic trends in the housing market. How can urban planning effectively cater to housing needs? Can urban planning improve housing affordability and housing supply? What remedial measures can be implemented to prevent spatial, social, and economic segregation in cities? How and where should new housing estates be planned? Can urban densification be reconciled with a high quality of life?

The Chinese government’s recent low-income housing scheme aims to tackle housing challenges faced by the urban floating population. A notable shift in this initiative is the focus on the job–housing balance. This study proposes that the spatial interaction between land designated for affordable rental housing and land for commercial facilities serves as a fundamental metric for evaluating this equilibrium, providing insights into the effectiveness of China’s nascent affordable housing efforts. Drawing on post-2021 data, when China’s revamped affordable housing policy took effect, our research examines the spatial distribution of affordable rental housing and commercial service land in Shanghai. By employing coupled coordination models and local entropy metrics, we delve into the supply equilibrium and pragmatic interrelation of these land types. Our findings reveal localized clustering in the spatial arrangement of rental and commercial land within Shanghai. Zones in the urban core exhibit a supply balance, while the peripheries display diminishing accessibility between these land types. Core urban areas have a lower supply balance but higher accessibility, whereas urban fringes face both low supply balance and low accessibility. These study outcomes have significant implications for strategic planning and the construction of affordable rental housing. Full article

With the expanding rental sector and rising housing expenses, this research aims to compare the socio-demographic, economic, and housing statuses of renters burdened by housing costs in four regions, and also to explore predictors affecting their residential assessment. Using data from the 2020 Korean Housing Survey, this cross-sectional study identified 245 cost-burdened households whose housing expenses accounted for more than 25% of their total gross income and living expenses. The results revealed that the majority of renters were single-person households residing in single-room occupancy units of multifamily housing, primarily comprising unemployed older adults aged 50 and over. While earning less than half of the minimum wage, the renters’ living expenses fell well below the minimum cost of living, and more than 40% of the expenditure was spent on housing costs, resulting in cost-overburdened households. With the correlation between income, deposit, and rent, the burden of housing costs and the quality of the residential environment varied among regions. Indeed, the residential assessment of the renters was significantly influenced by urban amenities, and both income deficits and excessive housing cost burdens required inclusive and prompt housing interventions including housing assistance, provision of affordable public housing, income transfer, and transitions from renting to Chonsei arrangements.

In recent years, to address the sluggish domestic demand caused by the epidemic, consumption has declined. The General Office of the State Council has introduced a series of policy measures around the improvement and development of the housing rental market. The paper empirically investigates the influence mechanism of the development of the housing rental market on residents’ consumption using relevant data from the 2010–2019 City Statistical Yearbook and the Xi Tai database. It is found that the increase in the scale of housing rentals significantly raises the level of residents’ consumption. Specifically, the increase in the scale of housing rentals can increase government expenditure, firm up residents’ consumption confidence, and thus raise residents’ consumption level; urban labor inflow plays a negative moderating role in the development of the housing rental market to promote residents’ consumption level. The heterogeneity study shows that the improvement and development of the housing rental market in the eastern coastal region has a more significant role in promoting residents’ consumption level, while it is not significant for residents’ consumption level in the central and western regions. The study suggests that to release the vitality of residents’ consumption, government spending should be increased, the impact of inflowing labor on the labor market should be reduced, and the development of the housing rental market should be improved and nurtured.
