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.

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.
