SPATIALLY‐VARYING EFFECTS OF REZONING ON HOUSING PRICE

A hedonic price equation is estimated at the parcel level to capture the spatially‐varying effects of rezoning on housing prices using a geographically weighted regression ‐ spatial autoregressive error model (GWR‐SEM). The empirical results highlight a number of points. Firstly, the positive amenities from rezoning to office use act as a buffer and transition the zones between single family housing to commercial zones near downtown areas may be applicable to approving the same kind of rezoning in other areas. Secondly, when approving rezoning from agriculture to residential or commercial use, it may be necessary to anticipate the positive amenities from rezoning in less well‐off neighborhoods and the negative amenities from rezoning in well‐off neighborhoods. Thirdly, the positive amenities from well‐designed open space preservation districts may encourage county planners to consider similar types of projects in the future.

Steering towards growth: Symbolic urban preservation in Beijing, 1990–2005

This article examines the rise of symbolic urban preservation as a means of urban growth in the spatial transformation of Beijing from 1990 to 2005. The author argues that urban preservation, often considered to be in opposition to demolition and redevelopment, is nevertheless adopted by public officials and developers in Beijing as a more sophisticated instrument to achieve urban growth. While the housing renewal programme led to the demolition of a large number of courtyard houses and the construction of modern high-rises, a variety of symbolic preservation projects were carried out by the local government to reconcile various economic and political interests. These included the designation of preservation districts, the restoration of historic monuments and the creation of cultural tourism districts. This twisted take on urban development has had negative effects on the maintenance of cultural heritage and community life in the city.
