In the reform era especially from the 1990s, accelerated population suburbanization in Chinese cities, fueled by urban development, urban land reform and urban housing reform, has profoundly changed the spatial relationship between jobs and housing. The imbalance development of Job opportunity and housing caused lots of urban problems like traffic jam and excessive commuting.

Next, the paper improved the SMI to take the housing affordability and accessibility of low-income citizens which need more concern into consideration. Finally, suggestions were put forward for the urban planning to improve special balance, such as taken some planning policies to build houses for different levels, especially for the low-income citizens, in downtown.
