Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship Project
Can spatial decentralisation achieve sustainable urbanisation?
Project summary
With rapid urbanisation in China, the separation of home-work locations in megacities has become evident and triggered numerous challenges. By adopting innovative research methods from multi-disciplines, this project will examine changing spatial interactions of residence and employment and the underlying factors especially the institutional ones relating to land, housing, and labour market. The research will use the Tongzhou Sub-centre of the Beijing Metropolitan Region as a revealing case to assess whether spatial decentralisation led by the government can promote the integration of jobs and housing, and achieve sustainable urbanisation, which will create academic and policy impacts in China and beyond.
