China’s New Housing Security Model: Evaluation of the Job–Housing Balance in Affordable Rental Housing, Shanghai

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.

Suburbanisation in East Germany

Rampant suburbanisation is one of the most visible changes evidenced in cities throughout Central and Eastern Europe in the past three decades. In this paper, we analyse how suburbanisation unfolded in East Germany after reunification. We do this against the background of ongoing debates about the usefulness and meaning of the term post-socialism that have questioned the self-enclosed spatiality of the concept and suggest giving the concept of neoliberalisation a more central role in analysing the changes experienced in this part of the world. We show that the suburbanisation process in East Germany rested on three neoliberal policy orientations: (1) extensive investment stimuli for the construction of new rental housing, (2) promotion of home ownership and (3) the privileging of suburban locations through planning gaps. Since all these policies are based on neoliberal ideas, we argue that neoliberalisation and post-socialist reform agendas have appeared as two sides of the same coin. Against this background, we advocate putting the developments that came after socialism at the centre of the research and call for a new generation of studies on post-socialist neoliberalisation.

The potential of prefabricated technologies for rental housing

The aim of the paper is to highlight the benefits of lean prefabricated and modular construction for the construction of rental housing by considering financial and time savings. In the current turbulent development of prices of building materials as well as banking products and availability of housing, Slovakia is facing significant problems with housing shortage, which is also addressed by foreign countries in the form of rental housing. According to Eurostat data for 2021, the ratio of rental housing in Slovakia to the total number of dwellings is the second lowest in the European Union at 7.1%, while this is mainly rental housing in properties owned by private landlords. The Act on State Support for Rental Housing sets maximum rent levels for individual regions of Slovakia, which directly affect the costs associated with construction. The paper shows that there is great potential of volumetric modular construction to solve increasing demand for rental housing. This article analyses the current state of adoption of modular construction abroad and in Slovakia by the good practice review and literature research resources review.

The article is devoted to the analysis and formation of effective strategies in the field of construction and planning of rental housing for young families. The emphasis of the work is on studying the features of urban infrastructure, taking into account the needs of young people in comfortable and functional spaces, as well as considering practical examples and innovative approaches in the field of housing construction. The research aims to determine optimal housing models for young families that meet modern living standards and contribute to the sustainable development of the city. The formation of construction and planning solutions for rental housing for young families has a multifaceted nature. Taking into account their needs, ensuring functionality, environmental friendliness, manufacturability and social adaptation become the key directions of the development of modern residential construction. The conducted studies emphasize that: "the dissatisfaction of young families with their housing conditions is associated with the following factors: the high cost of renting housing; living with parents or other relatives; small living space; poor technical characteristics of housing. Providing young families with the opportunity to have quality, affordable and functional housing is an important step in creating a stable and healthy society. Taking into account the needs of young families, rational housing should be designed using all energy-saving technologies. So that the purchase of such housing and its further operation corresponded to the family budget.
 It was established that the development of rental houses in Ukraine is impossible without the participation of private investors, for whom their construction will be profitable only if the state provides preferential conditions for construction. The results of the work can be used as a basis for the development of city strategies and programs aimed at improving living conditions for young people and the overall development of the city.

Impact of ethnic and cultural diversity on millennial living preferences and homeownership

Purpose This study aims to examine living preference and tenure among millennials, with a particular focus on the impact of ethnic and cultural diversity on housing outcomes including observed homeownership inequalities. Design/methodology/approach Using the individual panel data from three waves in American Housing Survey, 2015–2019, this study compares the likelihood of co-residing among Asian and Hispanic millennials with non-Hispanic white millennial peers. Furthermore, this study estimates the effect of co-residence on homeownership across generational and ethnic backgrounds. Findings This study finds a preference for coresident adult familial households among foreign-born Asian and Hispanic millennials, and US-born Hispanic millennials when compared to their non-Hispanic white millennial peers. The results are robust after considering neighborhood selection bias, affordability and education. The effect of co-residence on ownership is significant and positive, suggesting this living arrangement contributes to homeownership across all generational and ethnic groups. Practical implications Housebuilders should be aware of Asian and Hispanic millennials’ increased appetite for extended family living arrangements and consider increasing the physical size of affordable or workforce-oriented rental housing and new single family construction to accommodate more adult co-living arrangements. Originality/value This study provides a more comprehensive understanding of the role ethnic and cultural diversity has on millennial adult living preferences and its generational differences, which is not just “boomeranging” as identified by previous literature, contributing to the growing interest in the housing research on the effect of ethnic diversity and culture on millennials’ homeownership rates.

Analysis of Operation Mode of Government-subsidized Rental Housing-The example of Company A in the Lin’gang New Area

At the end of 2015, after the State first proposed "both housing purchase and renting" at the Central Economic Work Conference, the construction of the rental housing system has continued to improve. At the end of 2015, after the country first proposed " both housing purchase and renting" in the Central Economic Work Conference, the construction of the government-subsidized rental housing system has been continuously improved, and in 2021, under the background of the successive implementation of supportive policies for government-subsidized rental housing and the continuous regulation of the market industry, government-subsidized rental housing operating enterprises have evolved from a single operating mode to Open composite model. This paper takes the experience of Company A in the Lin’gang New Area in the process of operating government-subsidized rental housing as an example to provide reference for enterprises involved in the construction and operation of government-subsidized rental housing. This will help younger and citizens better lived and resided.

Reform of Collective Land for Construction and Rental Housing and the Growth of Farmers’ Property Income: Evidence from China

Increasing farmers’ income has always been the core task of China’s land reform. In 2017, a nationwide pilot project on the use of collective construction land for the construction of rental housing was launched. This study employed the synthetic difference-in-differences method to examine whether the reform contributed to the growth of farmers’ property income. It was found that, compared with non-pilot areas, the property income of farmers in the pilot reform of collective construction land rental housing has increased by about 0.4334% on average, and this conclusion is still valid after a series of robustness tests. The role of the reform in promoting farmers’ property income is more evident in Western China, Southern China and non-major grain-producing areas. By revealing the impact of the reform on farmers’ property income, this paper enriches the literature related to the field of farmers’ income increase and provides a policy reference for narrowing the urban–rural gap and achieving the development of rural revitalization and common prosperity.

Assessing distributive inequities in FEMA's Disaster recovery assistance fund allocation

Social vulnerability is significant in differential disaster impacts and outcomes and has been shown to influence the pace and progression of post-disaster recovery processes. Various disaster assistance programs - designed to support individual survivors, states, local governments, non-governmental entities, and businesses - may be distributing funds inequitably because they are not accounting for social vulnerabilities. One such program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Individuals and Households Program (IHP) program supports homeowners and renters for rental, repair, replacement, and permanent housing construction of disaster-damaged houses as well as providing other needs assistance to disaster victims with disaster-related non-housing expenses. To date, limited exploration connecting underlying social vulnerabilities and distribution of federal disaster assistance funds has provided only an incomplete understanding of the connections between underlying socio-economic conditions and often inequitable federal recovery assistance distribution. We analyzed county-level IHP assistance provided to homeowners between 2010 and 2018 and explored the relationships between fund distribution and social vulnerability indicators while controlling for total damages. Employing ordinary least squares regression analysis, we assessed links between Total Assistance, Housing Repair/Replace Assistance and Other Needs Assistance against social vulnerability variables from the Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) framework. Results highlight specific social vulnerability variables influencing FEMA's distribution of disaster recovery assistance with race/ethnicity-related variables as the most frequent (regularly negative) influence on recovery fund receipt. Findings suggest that disaster assistance receipt is linked to underlying social vulnerability. As such, greater attention to and inclusion of social vulnerabilities would lead to more equitable distribution of disaster recovery funds.

Analysis and assessment of housing affordability in the Republic of Kazakhstan

The aim of the study is to study theoretical and methodological approaches to the influence of the state program of housing construction on determining the affordability of housing for the population. Construction objects, as well as housing construction objects, lose their profitability and are not sold after delivery. The resulting decline in demand further aggravates the situation. The study analyzes the provision of housing in the Republic of Kazakhstan, and also makes calculations to determine the affordability of housing in the country. The article discusses the main indicators of the development of the housing construction industry: domestic production and consumption and market size in the Republic of Kazakhstan.The contribution to the development of the housing construction industry comes mainly from investments in the construction industry. The State Program also provides for the construction of rental housing, in accordance with standard projects for the construction of 5 and 9-storey large-panel frame houses using industrial housing technology. One of the most acute social problems in the Republic of Kazakhstan is the availability and provision of housing. This indicator depends on such factors as: the high income stratification of the population, the rate of construction of housing in the country at the regional level. The issues of housing provision in the regions of Kazakhstan were addressed through the implementation of the Regional Development Program 2020 and the state program of infrastructural development “Nurly zher”.

Regulating architectural and civil engineering process in Russia in the 18th – the beginning of the 20th century

Urban, architectural, planning, design and stylistic techniques for building and designing social rental housing abroad have been studied in the paper. Functional structure of rental housing infl uencing the level of comfort has been analyzed from the point of view of social and economic relations in society. The research demonstrates options for implementing energy and resource-saving technologies, equipment and materials in the construction of social rental housing as part of the concept of sustainable urban development. It comes to a conclusion that there is currently a change of foreign architectural practices from typical design to individual design, including social housing.

Poverty concentration and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit: Effects of siting and tenant composition

New evidence on the effects of growing up in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty has heightened policy interest in understanding the role housing programs may play in shaping the distribution of poverty. In particular, as the nation's largest source of funding for the construction of affordable rental housing, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) could play a critical role in shaping the distribution of poverty. This paper examines whether the LIHTC affects the concentration of poverty by examining who lives in tax credit developments in different neighborhoods, and how neighborhoods and metropolitan areas change after LIHTC developments are built. Through assessing both the effects of siting and tenant composition, we find little evidence that the LIHTC is increasing the concentration of poverty – and we find some evidence that it is reducing poverty rates in high-poverty neighborhoods. We also make suggestions for states who want to use LIHTC to do more to deconcentrate poverty.

EVOLUTION OF TOPOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF RENTAL HOUSING IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

The article is devoted to the history of the construction and study of the diversity of rental housing typological structure from ancient times to the present day in some foreign countries. Examples of housing policy in the field of tenancy are presented. Urban planning, architectural, planning, design and stylistic methods of design and construction of rental housing abroad are studied. The impact of socio-economic relations in the society, the transformation of the typological structure of rental housing, the level of comfort, quality accommodation, as well as a change in the planning structure of cities are considered in historical perspective. The current trends and the principles of rental housing and apartment buildings abroad are marked. The need for the construction of rental housing in Russia to improve the living conditions of a vast proportion of Russians is justified.

Comparing the Life-Cycle Costs of New Construction and Acquisition-Rehab of Affordable Multifamily Rental Housing

The cost of producing multifamily affordable housing may differ based on development type. Past attempts to compare the costs of producing multifamily housing through new construction or acquisition-rehab have been limited by an inability to adjust for variations in unit quality among different projects. The authors overcome this challenge by estimating the costs of developing and maintaining a property over a 50-year life cycle. Applying this approach to a convenience sample of 269 properties, the authors find new construction associated with life-cycle costs that are 25% to 45% higher than those of acquisition-rehab.

Contradictions and Countermeasures of Affordable Housing Construction

The paper extends its field of research to affordable housing development, which is an important people's livelihood issue in current china. This paper begins with an outline of public rental housing construction in Chongqing so called Chongqing model, in sight of universal issues in affordable housing exploitation, analyzes main contradictions about housing policy, planning and management, and proposes countermeasures from four aspects, establishing multi-level housing guarantee system, planning comprehensively and taking measures according to local conditions, emphasizing on quality and quantity to improve performance-price ratio, and updating design concepts to advocate intensive life. In conclusion, we find evidence suggesting that China should clearly understand the contingency and stage characteristics of affordable housing development, meanwhile establish all-round and whole process support policies and measures, and strengthen renovation of science and technologies. As a typical model, the exploration on contradictions and countermeasures of Chongqing pubic rental housing construction aims to provide experience and reference to affordable housing development across China form the theoretical and practical fields.

Risk Evaluation of CCIT Model in Ant Colony Housing Supply Based on AHP-Grey Clustering Method

Considering the involving stakeholders in public rental housing construction under the CCIT model, which is the basics of constructing the financial structure and analysing the main body involved in the risk, and then construct the assessment system. This paper proposes a model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and grey clustering risk assessment method. Firstly by analyzing the clustering index in the financing mode of risk subject, we can quantify the weight of indicators of every layers, and then using the gray clustering to get clustering analysis, drawing the value at risk ,finally , this article quantitatively analyses the CCIT mode in public rental housing construction in the use of the degree of risk..

Model Kemitraan dalam Pembangunan Rumah Sewa Swadaya

The high prices of land causes the decreasing development of rental housing around activity centers such as workplaces, schools and others. The specific objective of this study is to identify and map the forms of existing partnerships between government, business, and community organizations in the construction of rental housing, to identify obstacles in the implementation and effectiveness of these partnerships, and to develop a partnership model that can include and involve all interests (stakeholders) either from the government (central or local), businesses, and communities, as well as their respective roles in realizing the construction of rental housing for low income community. This study implements is a qualitative method with exploratory descriptive and comparative approach. Data are obtained through surveys in several locations as representatives of existing forms of self-help construction of rental housing in Jakarta, West Java and Batam. Data collection technique used observation and interviews are supported by direct observation in the field. The model developed is aimedat promoting self-help development of affordable rental housing which involves a partnership among government, business, and society. The partnership should be beneficial to all three parties. It should also allow affordability of low-income community to rent the house in the form of licensing component funded by national and local government, construction financed by the business or government, while the land acquisition component can use the land the community or local government.

Management Mode of Super Large Scale Project - Case as Chongqing Public Rental Housing

Traditional project management models have been difficult to adapt to the requirements of the organization and management for very large projects. Chongqing which has the moderate economic strength is first progress and the most smoothly in large-scale construction of public rental housing in the country. Therefore, the model and experience of the management of large projects from public rental housing construction in Chongqing has important theoretical and practical significance. The paper demonstrates that the model of government-led making decision, specifically management department managing, the state-owned enterprises as the owners making land reserves and managing investments and financing (GMS mode) has a higher efficiency on the management of large construction projects, can effectively solve the problem of multi-participant, short construction period and high security requirements. If taking into account the public participation making the GMS mode into GMSP mode, the management of large projects can better incorporate the efficiency and fairness.
