Planning for Job-Housing Balance in Urban China
This article examines the feasibility to apply job-housing balance strategies as a solution to China’s increasing urban congestion in a booming market economy. The article evaluates job-housing balance as a physical land use pattern affected by land use controls as well as a social process of location selection. The article demonstrates that the evolution from a planning economy to a market economy has changed the economic foundation for balanced development in the physical dimension and balanced workplace-residence selection in its social dimension. Based on the fact that current planning practice still emphasizes balanced development in the physical dimension, as have been done in the pre-reform period, much-needed job-housing balance strategies should target the social dimension, particularly the transportation and land use incentives that encourage balanced workplace-residence selection.
